I guess I am. He calls me the social coordinator. But I'm pretty shy until I get to know someone. He can make friends/talk to just about anyone.

Me. He's an only child and only has one uncle. I have a huge family.

How often do you have date night?
Depends on our schedules. I'd say on average twice a month.

I missed this question- I thought it was the hardest thing as a couple. Woops.
I'd say right now, attorney bills. They're def worth it, but let's just say I clearly went into the wrong profession for what these people get paid per hour. Finalization is on July 20th though, so after that we should be done.

We also dated for almost a year our freshman year of college, but broke up due to the long distance of the relationship (I was at ASU in Tempe, and he was a U of A in Tucson), and then got back together for good in early 2004 (and married in Feb 2006).
- What is your wedding anniversary? 2/10/06
-Do you have any children together? Yes, one daughter - Isabella. She is 2.
-What about pets? 2 cats - Mulder & Scully
-Who has the worst temper? Him. He gets frustrated more easily than me. He is not really a yeller or anything, but he does get frustrated and mad far more easily than me.
-Who does the cooking? We share cooking, but lately he has been doing more cooking than I have. It kind of depends on what we are eating because we each have things that we tend to make. He does all the grilling, and there are other entrees that he makes. There are certain things that I make. And often if it's more complicated, we just share duties.
-Who is more social? Definitely me. He's not anti-social, and he's a lot of fun (People really love him. He's very funny and he gets along with people really well), but I am the one that likes hanging out with people more often. He definitely is just fine hanging out at home, just us, whereas I like to get out and see people more often.
-Who is the neat-freak? Neither of us. lol Although we each have our own things that bug us mess-wise, and we each have our own things that we don't really care about letting go for a bit.
-Who is the most affectionate? Probably me, but it depends on my mood and his mood. Sometimes it's the other way around.
-Who is the most stubborn? Oh, that's TOTALLY him. haha
-Who hogs the bed? Me. And the cats
-Who wakes up earlier? Definitely Ray. He's a morning person, and is usually up at 6 on the weekends, even if Bella is still sleeping. I'm a night person and tend to stay up late, and can easily sleep til 9 or 10 if given the opportunity.
-Who said I Love You first? Oh wow. That was SO long ago. It would have been back in 1998 when we dated the first time. Um... I think it might have been him, but I would have to go back and read some of our letters to each other from back then and see if we talked about it to be sure.
-Who has the biggest family? Probably me. Immediate family is the same. Both parents divorced and remarried (although my mom and stepdad just recently got divorced). We each have one sister, but I also have a step-brother and step-sister from when my dad married my step-mom (but I didn't ever live with them). My mom's side of the family is huge, but there's lots of drama there, and we only are close to a select few. I don't really talk to my dad's side of the family much (besides dad, step-mom, step-sister, and step-brother, and my grandma). I am pretty close to my stepdad's family, and they are pretty big. Ray's mom's side of the family is pretty big (but not as big as mine), and his dad's side of the family is not terribly big (nor very close). Wow. That was way too much info, I'm sure. lol
-Do you give/get flowers often? Never give them. He wouldn't want them (unless they were free - haha). I usually get them on my birthday, our anniversary, and sometimes Valentine's Day (but it's like 4 days after our anniversary, so I don't always get them both days).
- How often do you have date night? Very rarely, sadly. All our family (and built in babysitters) are in Phoenix. Sometimes they come down to spend the night so we can go out though.
-How do you spend the holidays? Oh geez. It's like Tour de Phoenix. Both of our parents are divorced and remarried (except my mom and stepdad who just divorced last year). It makes for a lot of different families to visit, plus our extended family get-togethers. We are usually up in Phoenix for like 4 days around Christmas and spend the time family hopping like crazy. lol
- What is the age difference between you and significant other? He is 6 months older than me
-Who is more jealous? Neither of us are very jealous, but if I had to pick, probably him.
-Do you have little pet names for each other? a few
-Which bill is the hardest on you as a couple? Probably our mortgage, just because it is the most expensive. But thanks to Ray's very anal financial planning skills (and him denying me things I want to buy, which is good and bad - lol), we are doing pretty good.
-Did you go to the same school? Same high school (and graduated the same year), but not the same college. In fact, we are a house divided when it comes to college (ASU for me and U of A for him).
-Are you from the same hometown? Yes, both from Phoenix
-Do you live in the same town now? Yep! Same house even!
-Who is the most sensitive? Me, but he has a sensitive side, and can be sensitive and sometimes touchy about certain things too.

-Who is more social? Definitely me. I like to go ou with friends and he would rather stay inside and just hang with me.

-Who is the most affectionate? Usually me.
-Who is the most stubborn? Him. Definitely him.
