Spouse vs Spouse Tagback

How did you meet your spouse? Desiree moved into our ward when she was a Junior at Salem and I was a Senior at Kempsville. We danced at a dance or two and ended up in seminary together. The rest is not that historic. Although, the kissing is.
Where did you go on your first date? We went on a group date to see the movie 'Maverick' with Mel Gibson. We held hands and liked it! Rachel was there and she kept leaning over to see what we were doing and report it to the other people with us : )
How long have you been together? We dated off and on from Spring of 1994 'til we got engaged after my mission in Fall 1998 and then married in Spring of 1999.
Who eats more? I eat more all around, Desiree worries me sometimes. I have to remind her to drink sometimes.
Who said I love you first? I'm pretty sure I did. Desiree kept those cards close to the vest.
Who sings better? I sing more often, but I love it when Desiree sings. Her voice is beautiful, but she is shy. I on the other hand sing anywhere and don't care.
Who is smarter? Desiree is Sudoku, I am the crossword puzzle. There is no comparison.
Who does the laundry? Desiree.
Who does the dishes? Desiree does them most. Thank goodness for dishwashers.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Desiree
Who pays the bills? Mike.
Who mows the lawn? I mow it, but we both attack the dandelions! They are the devils favorite flower.
Who cooks dinner? Desiree prepares meals in the home, but when it's time to hunt and gather . . . Wendy's here I come!
Who drives when you are together? Desiree, she thinks I corner too fast.
Who is more stubborn? I refuse to answer that.
Who is the first to admit when they’re wrong? Desiree won't admit she's wrong first, but she is usually the first to try and end any argument. When she starts smiling it's hard to stay angry. I manage it sometimes. : )
Whose parents do you see the most? It's been pretty much half and half. Aside from the few months Desiree stayed with her parents while I was in Basic and A school.
Who kissed who first? I kissed Desiree first, in Rodney Lambourne's car, then on the porch. Rodney asked me "Did you kiss her?" I replied, "A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell. And yes, I did."
Who proposed? I did, in the Kid's Cove at Mount Trashmore. Having 'trash' involved in our engagement story is not nearly as bad, though, as the fact that the only lighted area was near the restrooms . . . well, I was nervous and not very smart to begin with.
Who has more friends? Desiree always has more friends. I only have work acquaintances, and family.
Who has more siblings? I have 7 and Desiree has 3.
Who wears the pants in the family? When it comes to finances, it is Desiree. When it comes to raising the kids, also Desiree. I get to decide what songs to sing to the boys at night. Most of the time.
This was fun. Hope to see others doing the same. Mike, Sr.
