Husband Tag

This is exciting! It's the first time I've been tagged! Here goes!

1. What is your husband's full name?
Jeremy Isak Matis. The spelling of Isak is a shortened version of the Finnish name Isakus. He is named after a great, great, great (I don't know how many greats) grandfather who was credited with introducing Christianity to Finland.

2. How long have you been together?
10 Years. Jeremy proposed in July 1998.

3. How long did you date?
We officially dated for only 3 weeks before he proposed, but we had been friends for 3 years prior to that.

4. Who eats more?
Probably me. Jeremy has his bad days when he eats a lot, and I have my good days when I don't eat a lot, but I think that I consistently eat more than he does.

5. Who said "I Love You" first?
I thought it first, but I'm not sure I said it first. That would have been way too bold for me. I'm pretty sure that I waited for him to say it before I went out on that limb.

6. Who is taller?
He is...I always had issues with the thought of dating someone shorter than me. But then again, Jeremy always had issues with dating someone older than him, so I guess those things don't really matter when you fall in love with someone. I guess I just got lucky that he is taller than me.

7. Who sings better?
He is better at reading music than I am and has a nice voice, but I think I have a better voice. I'm also more humble. :)

8. Who is smarter?
Jeremy knows more than I do. Does that make him smarter?

9. Who does the laundry?
Me

10. Who does the dishes?
Me

11. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
As you sit on the bed, Jeremy sleeps on the right side. We tried switching one time, just for the heck of it, and neither one of us could sleep.

12. Who pays the bills?
Me

13. Who mows the lawn?
Me. Jeremy used to do it, but when he started dental school, I took over.

14. Who cooks dinner?
Me. But honestly, we eat out a lot too. Eating out is my coping mechanism since Jeremy has been in dental school.

15. Who drives when you are together?
We take turns, but he drives more than I do when we are together.

16. Who is more stubborn?
Me, I think. But he can be awfully stubborn too.

17. Who kissed who first?
He kissed me, but I asked him to. Kissing him would have been way too bold for me.

18. Who asked who out first?
It's hard to say. I think that by the time we actually started dating we were so comfortable with each other that we just did everything by mutual agreement.

19. Who proposed?
Jeremy proposed and it was totally unexpected. As I mentioned before, we had only been dating officially for 3 weeks. I was sure that we would get married, I just didn't expect the proposal to come as quickly as it did.

20. Who is more sensitive?
Absolutely me, but Jeremy does have a sensitive side that he keeps well hidden.

21. Who has more friends?
Probably me. Being a woman I just need a lot more people to share my life with. Men are just more independent, I guess.

22. Who has more siblings?
Jeremy has 2 sisters and 2 brothers. I have 1 sister and 1 brother.

23. Who wears the pants in the family?
I keep things going from day to day and make a lot of the minor decisions, but when it is something big it really is a collaborative effort. And sometimes I just get tired of making decisions and refuse to do it.


Okay, I tag Jill, Monica and Cynthia. You're it!
