TOE TAG

I guess i've been tagged by Lois. hopefully i can make it as interesting as she made hers!

How long did you date?

Jarred and I dated for about 9 months, 3 of which we were officially engaged. I think thats rights, i'm terrible with dates. The worst part of it was that for most of our dating relationship we had to do the long distance stuff. I was in Rexburg going to school and he was down here in Provo going to school. That was not fun! But, we don't have to worry about that anymore, thank goodness!

Who eats more?

I think its me. It seems like i'm hungry a lot more than he is, so i eat a lot of little meals, but when he does eat, he eats a ton, but i still think i eat more. maybe not. i don't know. what kind of question is this?

Who is taller?

Definately Jarred. I'm about 5'8" and he is 6'1 or 2" i think. This is great because i love to wear high high heels. (yup i meant to write high twice, the higher the better). I can wear really tall heals and he is still taller than me! i love it!!!

Who is smarter?

Well this is a weird question. do they mean book smarts or street smarts. if it is book smarts, i might be smarter, but jarred is definately more street smart. It just seems like the stuff i don't know very well, like cars, jarred knows a lot about. Then theres stuff i know that jarred doesn't know as much about. We make a good team.

Whose temper is worse?

I think mine is for most things. I always have a hard time keeping my anger in control for some things, especially when its something about jarred. But, jarred isn't perfect either, the things that i'm patient with, he sometimes isn't. We are like opposites, its weird.

Who does the laundry?

We both do it, but its mostly jarred that does most of it. He can't stand to have things left undone, so when we have our dirty laundry sitting around he somehow fiinds time to do it. I try to help with it as much as i can, but i'm usually too much of a procrastinator. But, i definately fold the laundry better than he does, he even admits that.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?

What does that mean? do they mean the right as in direction, or is there a better side to sleep on? I think jarred sleeps on the better side of the bed because its not next to the alarm. But thats probably a good thing because he doesn't even hear the alarm. i have to wake him up every morning after the alarm jolts me awake. I have no clue how he doesn't hear the stupid thing.

Who pays the bills?

Jarred pays most of them, i just pay our health insurance because he has messed it up twice and made us pay double. thats not fun when your budget is so small. he is always so organized and bordoring obsessed with paying the bills. This is good because we never get late fees for any kind of payment. With my kind of absent-mindedness, i would be making us pay late fees all over the place, which reminds me i think our health insurance is due soon! i better pay it after this post.

Who cooks dinner?

I always do. Thankfully we are in a supper club and so i'm not cooking every night. But, i am glad to cook because that means we will usually eat something good. jarred does the dishes after i cook, which is so nice of him to do. He doesn't always like it, so i offered to switch jobs and have him cook, but he never accepts because he knows he's not a very good cook. I'm always glad he doesn't accept the offer because then i don't know what the heck we would be eating!

Who drives when you are together?

Jarred definately does. A few time i have driven, but its most likely jarred and that doesn't bother me because he's a good driver.

Who is more stubborn?

I am. i have a really hard time admitting i am wrong about something and so i will be stubborn just to not admit i was wrong, but usually i will finally admit it.

Who kissed who first?

HUH? we kissed at the same time. its not like i kissed him while he was passed out or something. this is a weird question.

Who is the first to admit when they are wrong?

It totally depends on the situatioin. if we were both in the wrong, i am usually the one to admit it first, but if its just me thats wrong, i take a while to admit it.

Whose parents do you see the most?

I think its about the same, thats what we try to do. Our parents live about 3 blocks away from each other, so its not too hard to give them the same amount of attention. it just is hard on holidays because we don't get to spend the entire time with just one family so we miss things from both families on those days.

Who proposed?

jarred did. i am not the kind of girl that would propose to a guy. and speaking of this, if i would have proposed would i have picked out his wedding band or something and offered him that or would i have just bought my own ring and put it on myself when he said yes? this is too weird to think about.

Who is more sensitive?

i am. jarred is sensitive too, but i am usually much more sensitive. theres usually some kind of waterworks going on with me, but that might be also due to the birth control.

Who has more friends?

i don't know, maybe me because i show that i have more friends than him on facebook.

Who has more siblings?

jarred does, he has 2 brothers and 3 sisters. I have 4 brothers.

Who wears the pants in the family?

we both do. just only on sunday i wear a skirt and he wears slacks. what a silly question, we are in the 21st century, everyone wears pants now, mostly jeans i think.

Do you have a song?

we have had a lot of songs, the first one was Ocean Avenue by Yellow Card because when we were chatting online while we were dating we were both listening to this song, so it was our first song.

now i tag anyone who reads this if they haven't done it yet.

Welcome to the Project

To earn some extra cash, my husband and I do dealer trades. A dealer trade is when two dealerships trade cars, making up the difference in price with money, or when a dealership just buys a car from another dealership to sell to its customer. Anyways, they need people to be able to pick up those vehicles when a dealer trade comes up. Thats where we come in. Its a great little side job that helps payoff our car payment. Unfortunately, you never really know when these will come up, and a lot of the time we do them at night. So, the idea of driving up to Bountiful and back at 9 o'clock at night isn't a new thing for me anymore. But, i still need something to keep me awake besides my caffeine loaded coke. The past few months, i have tuned into The Nightside Project on ksl radio (102.7 FM), to keep me awake. Let me tell you, this has really worked! They are funny, political, weird, and only slightly annoying at times. Everyone who has listened to the Nightside Project knows the hosts like to get on their soap boxes and go off on things, but I love it when Ethan and Alex don't agree on a subject and they keep trying to convince the other person that they're view is wrong. Another reason I love this radio show is because they embrace the new technology of the younger generation. If you text into the show, and your text is funny/witty/good enough, then they will read it on the air. Same goes for emailing. Jarred loves to text in to them and he's had his read on the air a couple of times. Anyways, i didn't really have much else to write about and this is all i came up with. Let me know what you think about the Nightside Project with Ethan and Alex. If you haven't listened to it, just tune into 102.7 FM at 7pm monday through friday, take a listen and let me know what you think of it!
