Who is the neat-freak? I guess he is a little more. He gets anxious when it's dirty but we're both kind of lazy about it.
Who is the most stubborn?? Not sure about this one.
Who hogs the bed? We each sleep on the edge of opposite sides of the bed. It's kinda weird.
Who wakes up earlier? ?Usually me just because I sometimes work mornings and he rarely does.
Where was your first date? We went to the outlet mall.
Who has the bigger family?? Me. I have four brothers. I think he has four half-siblings but he doesn't know them so it doesn't count.
Who said "I love you" first?? We had sex and I was like, "Isn't it weird that we didn't say something first?" And we had an awkward moment where we both knew we did but didn't want to say it first. And then he finally said it.
How long did it take to get serious? Less than a month. We were friends for two years before we started dating so as soon as we started dating, I knew. He was it for me.
Who eats more?? We both do. We always talk about dieting but never do.

Awesome idea! I hate it when this bored is slow!! :-)
When did you get married? Oct 22, 2011
How long did you know each other before you started dating? Well, we first met in 2003 at the restaurant we worked at. I worked at the restaurant in my hometown (Plainfield, IN), and he was training to be a manager at the one about 30 minutes away in Greenwood. They had the same owner. But - at that time, I was 15, and he was 24. So about 2 or 3 girlfriends later, the owner of restaurant asked me if he could give my DH my number. We started dating February 2009.
How old are each of you? Right this second he is 32, and I am 24. He'll be 33 this coming Friday!
Whose siblings do/ did you see the most? ?That's a toss-up. I would say I probably see my sister just a little bit more than what I see his sister.
Do you have any children together? ?We don't, but we are going to start trying! I stopped taking my birth control earlier this month. Woo hoo!
What about pets?? We have a ton of pets! We have an American Bulldog named D-bo. D-bo will be 5 in December. We have a Pit/Lab mix named Blue. Blue just turned 5 this past April. Both of the dogs are as sweet as can be. We have it cat named Mary. She will be two in October, so she is ALL kitten still. She's slowing down...like right now she's no where to be found. She's probably in the back room sleeping. We have an outdoor cat named Taylor. And HE has a snake named Mr. Snake. I don't claim that thing as my own!
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?? I would say money, as well as our careers/schedules. He is an assistant manager (soon to be general manager) at a restaurant, so he works a TON of nights. Well, the few nights he's home, I want to hang out with him. I want him all to myself! May seem selfish, but it's the truth. Well, I feel one of his friends wants to hang out with him/be over here almost every waking moment as well!! But this situation has gotten better, which I am very thankful.
Did you go to the same school? ?Nope, not at all. We went to different high schools, and he didn't go to college. I went to a college in Indianapolis.
Are you from the same home town? Nope. We are both from Indiana, but about 30 minutes away. He's from Greenwood, and I'm from Plainfield.
Who is the smartest? ?We're both smart in our own ways. I feel that I am more intelligent when it comes to numbers/problem solving. He's smarter when it comes to cars, mechanical stuff, etc.
Who is the most sensitive?? Me definently. I'll cry over any of our little spats.
Where do you eat out most as a couple?? We try and eat at different restaurants. So, when we go out to dinner, we probably haven't been to a single place more than 5 times. Total guestimate!
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? We went to Cancun for our honeymoon. This past February, we went on a cruise with his side of the family and went to Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Roatan, and Costa Maya.
Who has the worst temper?? Um, we can both have tempers. He's a total Type A personality, but hides his temper more than I do. But he shows anger more I believe.
Who does most of the cooking?? Um, it's a toss-up. The nights we are home together, I would say we share the cooking. I'll obviously cook dinner for myself when he's working, and he snacks on that.
Who is more social? ?He's definitely more social than I am.
Who is the neat-freak? ?I am MUCH neater than he is. I'm definitely not a clean freak, but much cleaner than he is. I pick up after him all the time!
Who is the most stubborn?? That's a toss up. We are both stubborn and what to do things our own way.
Who hogs the bed? HE DOES!!! Most nights he ends up sleeping diaganol! WTF?!?
Who wakes up earlier? ?I do. He stays up soooo late since most nights he doesn't get home until about midnight. (He just walked in the door from work, and it's 11:30 at night)
Where was your first date? We went to a Mexican restaurant, and then to a bar and played pool. Then we came back to his house and watched a movie.
Who has the bigger family?? Immdiate family? The same. We each have 1 sister.
Who said "I love you" first?? Crap - is it bad that I really don't know???
How long did it take to get serious? No that long...
Who eats more?? He does! HE snacks all the time at night.
Who?s better with the computer?? I am most definently.
Who drives when you are together?? He does. He loves to drive.
Who picks where you go to dinner?? We decide together
Who is the first one to admit when they?re wrong?? Yeah, that takes forever for one of us to admit we're wrong.
Who takes out the trash? DH
Who wears the pants? ?Me
Who has more tattoos?? He does. He has one, and I don't have any.
Who eats more sweets?? We both love sweets. But if it's around the house...he always eats a *** ton of it when I'm sleeping, and doesn't leave me much!!
Who does the cleaning? I do the majority of it, and I do all the laundry. He may occasionally clean (when he's bored!)
What is your secret to a happy marriage? Agreed - I don't think we've been married long enough to answer that. But, I would say communication is the key!
TTC since June 2012
When did you get married? Oct 7, 2011
How long did you know each other before you started dating? We worked in the same department for over a year before I made the first move. When I started working there, he was seeing someone, so I didn't give him a second thought. I casually dated other people for the next year or so. After Hurricane Katrina, we both found ourselves single and I started dropping hints that I was interested. Finally fed up he wasn't getting the hint, I took his phone one day, put my number in it and told him he should use it some time. Later he told me he thought I was out of his league, so he thought I was just teasing when I was hinting that I was interested.
How old are each of you? He is 31 and I just turned 32 today!
Whose siblings do/ did you see the most? ?We see both about the same amt of time. They live close to each other, so we always try to see both if we're seeing one.

What about pets?? 2 dogs and 1 cat
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?? Money and money.
Did you go to the same school? ?Nope, he went to an all boys Catholic school and we went to different colleges.

Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? Honduras for our honeymoon.

Who does most of the cooking?? Me. He cooks once in a blue moon, like yesterday he BBQ'd for father's day
Who is more social? ?Me
Who is the neat-freak? ?Me. His mother is a hoarder, so I see some of those tendencies in him. He could live in clutter, while I'd die in clutter.
Who is the most stubborn?? Hmmmm...I'm more flexible. I usually flex instead of arguing.
Who hogs the bed? Him, although he says my a** usually creeps to his side of the bed making him cling to the mattress for dear life, but I've woken up way too many times with a knee in my back. Usually, I just shove his leg out of the way.
Who wakes up earlier? ?It depends. We both work nights, so I usually am up earlier if I work because I have to be in by 6:30p. Otherwise, it's a sleep free-for-all
Where was your first date? double date with his friends to eat

Who wears the pants? ?Me of course!
Who has more tattoos?? Neither one of us has any
Who eats more sweets?? Me and I have the cavities to prove it!
Who does the cleaning? Me, but he does the laundry
What is your secret to a happy marriage? I don't think we've been married long enough to answer that
When did you get married? Oct 2, 2011
How long did you know each other before you started dating? Month/ month and a half or so.
How old are each of you? both of us are 27
Whose siblings do/ did you see the most? We see mine the most because he is an only child.
Do you have any children together? No
What about pets? 1 cat. I want a Corgi puppy so bad. I grew up with Corgi's and have been craving the love and fun a dog gives. Our cat is well a cat. Love our cat to pieces but I need a dog.
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple? Figuring out what to eat out/ order in. He is such a picky eater. When we want to go out to eat it can take us hours to decide on a place sometimes. It's ridiculous.
Did you go to the same school? Yes. We met in High School. He graduated from the University that I am currently attending.
Are you from the same home town? Yes and No. He grew up in one city. I moved around when I was little but mostly grew up in the same city as him.

Where do you eat out most as a couple? We mix it up pretty good but have our favorite places for Tex-Mex, Italian, Sandwiches, Pizza, etc.
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? It was New York state until recently when we visited San Francisco.
Who has the worst temper? Both of us. I am quick to get mad and he doesn't get mad until something is really wrong. He is by far scarier when mad as only a handful of people have seen him even slightly mad. And even less truly POed. When I get mad the mom in me comes out if it is directed at someone specific. It's scary in it's own way. Everyone says I yell a lot when I'm mad. I have to tell them I very rarely yell. When I do yell you know it.
Who does most of the cooking? Me. He helps out a lot.
Who is more social? Me.
Who is the neat-freak? We are the same. Messy is ok up until a point but we aren't crazy clean freaks either.
Who is the most stubborn? Pretty much the same. He may be a smidgen more stubborn.
Who hogs the bed? We have our sides. I have learned the bed is not mine since moving in together.
Who wakes up earlier? Our cat. The alarm goes off. He hits the snooze. Then our cat starts to go off. Trying to get us up.
Where was your first date? Ummm... a movie? I really don't remember this part.
Who has the bigger family? Me by far.
Who said "I love you" first? I think I did. I must be a bad girl for not remembering the little details.
How long did it take to get serious? We were exclusive and crazy about each other since before we started dating. We knew we would be together forever around the one year mark. So someplace in between we became quite serious.
Who eats more? I can't tell. I like to eat big meals and he is always snacking. I normally eat more but occasionally he does.
Who?s better with the computer? He is. Computers don't like me.
Who drives when you are together? He drives his car when we are in it and I drive mine when we are in it. My car has been out of commission for 6 months so I drive his car more now when we are together. Long trips we switch off.
Who picks where you go to dinner? See above about our biggest problem. It is a pain to decide 90% of the time.
Who is the first one to admit when they?re wrong? It depends who was wrong.
Who takes out the trash? Him. Time to time me. It used to be switched.
Who wears the pants? He lets me since he wants me happy.
Who has more tattoos? We don't have tattoos.
Who eats more sweets? He has the big sweet tooth.
Who does the cleaning? Me. He helps with dishes and helps clean when guests are coming over. We do laundry together.
What is your secret to a happy marriage? I think it's how well we know each other and how to handle each other. How both of us want to make and see the other happy. How we love each other unconditionally. How both of us will do what we can to take care of the other no matter what. How we take each other at face value, "flaws" and all (and loving those flaws because they wouldn't be them without the "flaws"). And communicating well is key. I am basing this off of our long relationship since we have only been married less then a year.
thanks!

How old are each of you? I'm 30, he's 36,
Whose siblings do/ did you see the most? ?It's a toss up, probably mine? We live about 30 min from both my bro and his sister, so it depends on what family events, etc we have.
Do you have any children together? ?Not yet.
What about pets?? nope
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?? Our apartment. He grew up in a house that was always spotless, I grew up on a house that would almost qualify for hoarders (the lowest level one, not buried alive status!). I'm trying to get better about getting rid of things and cleaning up as I go, but it's a bit of a sore subject.
Did you go to the same school? ?Nope
Are you from the same home town? Nope, but both from Jersey
Who is the smartest? Depends on the subject! I know more about pop culture than him, but he went to law school, so he's had more formal education than me.

Who has the bigger family?? immediate families are equal (each of us have one sibling who's married w/2 kids), but extended family w/first cousins, etc mine is bigger by far

How long did it take to get serious? We knew almost right away, but became an official "couple" after 3 weeks
Who eats more?? I try to make sure he eats more. After we moved in together I realized we were eating the same portions and he was losing weight while I was gaining! But I could probably eat more than him if I was mindlessly noshing, as I tend to do.
) I think we try to divide who has the upper hand equally
Who?s better with the computer?? Not sure...
Who drives when you are together?? I like to, but we both hate each other's driving.
Who picks where you go to dinner?? We decide together
Who is the first one to admit when they?re wrong?? Neither, we just tell each other when the other is wrong. But I think he's the first one to admit it (just ask him about the pyrex bowls he insisted I shouldn't register for because we would NEVER use them)

Who has the bigger family?? Him
Who said "I love you" first?? Me. It took him a whole week to say it back.

Who eats more?? Him. But we both love food.
Who?s better with the computer?? BIL
Who drives when you are together?? Him. Always him.

What is your secret to a happy marriage? We love each other, have lots of common interests and goals, and we communicate.
When did you get married? Oct 22, 2011
How long did you know each other before you started dating? Not really sure...we think we must have at least met before we "noticed" each other. We were probably about a month from then before we really started dating.
How old are each of you? He is 43 and I am 34
Whose siblings do/ did you see the most? It's a toss up...we both come from big families (I am one of 7 and he is one of 15). He sees his brother most because they work together, and other than that, it's probably a tie between his sister and my sister.
Do you have any children together? ?No, but we hope to!
What about pets?? A beagle named Dakota who is 11 and a Paperanian named Maya who is 3
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?? I would say right now we are struggling a bit with money...nothing horrible, there's just not as much of it as we would like! Trying to get the wedding paid off, just bought a new used car (a necessity and we got a great deal!), we both had some credit card bills going in, and we ended up gutting and are totally re-doing our dining room.
Did you go to the same school? ?Actually we did, but he graduated 7 years before I did.
Are you from the same home town? Yes...we were both born and raised here!
Who is the smartest? ?Uuum...really?!? We're both smart in our own ways. He's way better at fixing and building things and I am more book smart.
Who is the most sensitive?? Depends on the time of month...but probably me even if it's not that time of month. He is very sensitive too though, but in a different way.
Where do you eat out most as a couple?? Probably our Moose club or the local bar. Depends on the time of year!
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? Bahamas before we were married and a cruise of the Western Caribbean for our honeymoon
Who has the worst temper?? I would have to say me for this one. Now that I am off BC my hormones are all out of whack so I have a really hard time during certain times of my cycle. I can be super emotional andget irritated easily and don't always handle it well.
Who does most of the cooking?? Probably me, but it's pretty even. Definitely me in the winter because my work schedule is way more flexible. This time of year it's pretty even. He is the grill master and if I'm working late will at least start whatever we planned to have unless it's something in the slow cooker that I started in the AM.
Who is more social? ?Depends on where we are and who we are with.
Who is the neat-freak? ?He is. But I am getting better. I am really trying to follow along with FlyLady and that is helping so much. I guess I am one who tries to pick up as I go and do a little each day, and he is one who gets going cleaning and keeps cleaning. Also, I like to actually take care of stuff (put it away, give it away or throw it away) and he is more of a quick fixer (put it in a box and bag and shove it in the attic, basement or garage).
Who is the most stubborn?? That's a toss up. I would say it depends on the situation.
Who hogs the bed? He and Maya...I may as well sleep on the couch some nights...although that's one I'm stubborn about. I didn't get married in order to sleep by myself...I could do that before!
Who wakes up earlier? ?He or Maya...he gets up at 5:30 for work 5 or 6 days a week. Maya is on his schedule so 99% of the time it's one of them.
Where was your first date? Fundraiser at our now favorite winery-we had our rehearsal dinner there!
Who has the bigger family?? He does...he's 1 of 15 kids!
Who said "I love you" first?? He did...it took me a while to say it and when I finally did, he cried.
How long did it take to get serious? It happened pretty quick and kind of without either of us realizing it!
Who eats more?? Probably me...hence my weight problem.
Who?s better with the computer?? Me...he doesn't touch one except to run his machines at work.
Who drives when you are together?? Depends on where we are going and who is drinking.
Who picks where you go to dinner?? We decide together
Who is the first one to admit when they?re wrong?? Usually him...I just realized I usually apologize if I was wrong, but never actually say I was wrong...he apologizes and admits he was wrong.
Who takes out the trash? He does 99% of the time.
Who wears the pants? ?We both do
Who has more tattoos?? Neither of us have any tattoos.
Who eats more sweets?? OMG...me...definitely me!
Who does the cleaning? Depends on the time of year...I do more every day picking up, dishes, wiping down the counters, etc. He tends to be the one to run the vacuum cleaner and empty the dishwasher.
What is your secret to a happy marriage? Communication, honesty, and quality time together and apart.
