I thought I'd complete Jenni's blog tag and tell you about my spouse and why he's so wonderful (although if you know him, you already know why he's wonderful). Yes, I am Trouble in our relationship!
We are celebrating our 6th anniversary on Saturday (actually, he just told me he's taking me somewhere overnight on Thursday, since his mom can watch the kids--THANK YOU, MOM!) and it has been the most fantastic 6 years of my life. Hard times, sure, but no one I'd rather work through hard times with. And no one funnier to work through them with, either!
What is his name? Tyler John Lawrence (and you wonder why our boy has 2 middle names?)
Who eats more? Although he eats more in one sitting, I'm pregnant, so I eat more throughout the day!
Who said “I love you” first? Tyler. He also said it second and third.
Who is taller? Tyler (6'1")--he's got me beat by 6"
Who is smarter? We're both smart mouths...I think I have the bigger vocab, but he does listen to NPR daily, so he's intheknow.
Who is more sensitive? I'm pregnant--if you can't figure that out...
Who does the laundry? Me.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? OK, so do you mean the right side looking at the bed or lying in bed? Because I think that wherever I am is the right side of the bed...
Who pays the bills? With the assistance of Quicken and Tyler's paycheck, I do. Oh, except the online ones, he pays those. But I balance the checkbook.
Who cooks more? Me. If it were up to him, we'd eat chicken and rice daily. I like variety.
Who is more stubborn? Yeah, we're about equal there.
Who is the first to admit when they’re wrong? Hmmm, well I'd have to be wrong first, so maybe someday we'll find out.
Who has more siblings? We're both the 4th of 5 kids.
Who wears the pants in the family? Wow, while Tyler does have nice legs, he gets sheepish about wearing a skirt. The proverbial pants? We tag-team it.
What do you like to do together? Heh heh. Oh, I mean we like to sing children's TV music, tickle the kids, work on improving our home improvement, dance dance revolution, go to the beach, eat dinner, watch our fetus' "night show", and talk. We really like to think that we're funny, so we laugh a LOT together.
Who eats more sweets? Me. Tyler is trying to help me like healthy food.
Guilty pleasures? Peanut butter, pretzels, chips and salsa...although he doesn't feel particularly guilty about any of those. Basketball, maybe (he plays at 6 am and feels a little guilty about my having to get up with the kids since I am SO TIRED ALL THE TIME).
How did you meet? He picked me out of his buddy's BYU ward directory and his buddy set us up on a blind date. I was a little intimidated by him (he looked older than me and was so handome!) but once we got to talking, we never stopped.
Who proposed? Tyler. He did it with a ring pop (It was actually what I'd always wanted to be proposed to with...). A few days later he popped the question again with the real ring. I was surprised. We got married 3 months later.
What is his best feature? His sparkling personality. Ok, and he's HOT!!!
What is his best quality? He really, truly cares about people. He is a fantastic husband and father and is always with us 100% when he's home!
I love you, babe! Happy 6th anniversary!!!
