Husband Tag

Like some of my cousins,I have gotten this tag several times, but have not filled out the survery. Since I am SO tired I want to cry, I thought I would fill this out to pass some time.

How did you meet your spouse? Most of you know the story with Tyler and I. But I will do a short re-cap for you. We had never met in person when I started writing him on his mission. I was teaching voice lessons at the time and a family friend told his little sister she should bring a picutre of him over and tell me to write him. I saw his picture thought he was cute and thus began the journey of writing to my missionary that I had never met before. We wrote for the last year of his mission. He came home, we saw each other, very awkward situation, and it did not work out. He was married in March 2003 I was married in June 2003. I fell in love with him through our letters, but was really scared for many reasons to have a relationship with him. Any way he was going through a divorce April 2005 I was going through a divorce May 2005, we hadn't seen or talked to each other since September 2002....and we wound up in each others lives again and that is how we have come to be. Like on our wedding invitation I said " It was no accident me finding you...someone had a hand in it, long before we ever knew..." cheesey maybe?But true.
How long have you been together? Well we "hung out" or whatever you want to call it for 10 months, before we got married, and we just celebrated our two year wedding anniversary.
How long have you been married ? 2 years this month
Who said I love you first? Tyler did and it was very cute when he said it. I was very sick, could barely talk and we were downstairs on my couch watching a movie, I looked horrible and was coughing my head off and he whispered.." I love you" and then went bright red. It made me happy that he felt that way even when I felt and looked horrible.
Who is taller? Ty he is about 6'1 and I am 5'3
Who sings better? I guess me,but Ty actually has a nice voice
Who is smarter? We are smarter in different ways, Ty is way smarter in math and logical thinking and putting things together, I am smarter in English and the creative side of thinking and he knows a lot more about the Gospel than me
Who does the laundry? mainly me, but he helps out
Who does the dishes? me
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? me
Who mows the lawn? well we don't have a lawn to really mow, but he mows my parents lawn in the summer for some extra cash which is nice
Who cooks dinner? me, but Tyler makes great carbonara, frozen pizzas and eggs
Who drives when you are together? uh Tyler I hate driving with him when I am the driver, he makes me nervous!
Who is the first to admit when they're wrong? It's pretty hard for both of us to admit it because we are both stubborn but lately we are both trying to be better at this
Who kissed who first? Tyler kissed me first and we waited awhile, because our situation was a little different than most, but it was a great kiss, that I will always remember!
Who proposed? Tyler did. We had looked at rings a couple of weeks before but I didn't know when he had gone and bought the ring and he picked out the wedding band all by himself and it was a good choice. We were trying to decide what Temple to get married in, I had always wanted to do Salt Lake but that is where his first wedding was, and I wasn't sure I wanted to do ours at the same place. So we had drove down to the Mount Timpanogos Temple and I thought it was really pretty.So that is where he proposed, he was so nervous and his hands were all sweaty and clamy, but it was very cute. Then we went to dinner at Carver's. Good memories!
Who is more sensitive? who do you think? of course me

Even though I knew most of that (thanks to that newly wed game) it was fun to read!
