This little survey has been going around the blogosphere and so I decided to tag myself to let y'all know a little bit more about Mr. H and me!
What are your middle names? Claire & Matthew
How long have you been together? We have been together since I was 17 and he was 18; so just over 9 years.
How long did you know each other before you started dating? We have known each other since we were about 4 years old. We grew up together. So, I guess that would be 13 years.
Who asked who out?
He asked me out. We were best friends and all of the sudden something sparked for me. I kept it hidden because I figured it was ridiculous - you don't fall in love with your best friend - but then it clicked for him, too and he asked me out. I knew on the first date that he was the one. It just made sense. How old were each of you when you met? We were both 4. I had just turned 4 and he was about to turn 5.
How old are each of you now? I'm 26 and he is 27.
How long did you date before becoming engaged? For 9 years. We got engaged in January of 2008 and were married in September of 2008.
How tall are each of you? I am 5'3 and he is 5'11.
Whose siblings do you see the most? I am an only child, so obviously his!
Do you have any children together? Not quite yet. Hopefully in a couple of years we will be decorating a nursery!
What about pets? We have no pets, either. I want a puppy so badly, but Mr. H says we need to wait.
Did you go to the same school? All through school! Elementary, middle, high and college!
Are you from the same hometown? Yes.
Who is the smartest? We are both smart. I like it because we constantly challenge each other.
Who is the most sensitive? Me. Definitely me.
Where do you eat out most as a couple? He hates it because I could eat at Panera every meal, every day. But we try to switch it up every now and then.
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? Australia - honeymoon!
Who does the cooking? I cook, he grills.
Who is more social? Well, I would have to say that we are pretty even. We are both very social; always have been.
Who is the neat-freak? Me. Oh Lord, me.
Who hogs the bed? I say it's him, he would probably say it's me.
Who wakes up earlier? He does for sure! He is a morning person to the maximum!
Who has the bigger family? We are pretty even there.
How do you spend the holidays? With our families. Our families are very close, so we are all at the same house for every holiday.
Who is more jealous? He is - and he knows it. He is very protective of me and always has been. Even when we weren't dating he was always on the defensive about any other guy that so much as glanced my way.
Do you have little pet names for each other? Babe. Also, sometimes he will call me by my maiden name. Affectionately, of course!
How long did it take to get serious? About a minute. I told you, I knew from the beginning. He knew before that!
Who eats more? He is a bottomless pit. End of story.
Who sings better? Me. Given that I have had 15 years of voice lessons.
Who’s older? He is! By almost a year!
Who does the dishes? The dishwasher.
Who snores? Neither of us, thank Jesus. My dad snores and I vowed to marry a man who didn't.
Who’s better with the computer? Me. Well, kinda.
Who drives? Either. We both love to drive.
Who kissed who first? He kissed me. It's a very sweet story. My mom has always thought I made it up, but it's true. He was on the basketball team and I was a cheerleader. We won the championship and after the game I was walking down the hallway to our sponsor's classroom to get my bag. I turned around to exit the room and he was standing in the doorway. Really he scared the crap out of me at first. We started walking back down the hallway when he stopped me. He said he wanted to make his night perfect and so right there with my back up against the locker, he planted one on me. I could have died.
Who eats more sweets? Me. I'm always eating Starburst or Skittles or gummy worms. But, I've never had a cavity. Go. Figure.
