Everything you ever wanted to know about Tom and I

Thank you Sarah for the tag...I always get sucked in to these!!

1. What are your middle names? Callie Stacey Leigh and Thomas Edward (Tom suddenly has a VERY cool middle name to Madeline, thanks to Twilight)

2. How long have you been together? We got engaged on our technical "first date" because we are crazy like that. That was February 25th, 1998...so just over 11 years now. It's funny, because I don't feel that old, but apparently I am.

3. How long did you know each other before you started dating? We knew eachother for a year, I think we would have gone out sooner, if it wasn't for the fact that I was a missionary! The no dating rule makes it hard...

4. Who asked whom out? It never really worked out that way, Tom kind of suggested that he fly to Canada when I returned home from my mission. We are all about drama.

5. How old are you? Oh brother, the older I get the more I hate this question...especially when your husband is younger than you!! Tom is 31, and I am older than that.

6. Whose siblings do you see the most? Probably Tom's, because AZ is a little closer than Toronto.

7. Do you have any children together? 2 girls, and a boy, and if you read this blog, you know ALL about them!!

8. Pets? UGH. Yes. We had 2 cats for a long time, and then our cat, Casper (who we had since we got married) died last summer. Now, we are stuck with Skittles, who I have never cared for much (I'm not mean, she's just annoying) and now she is PREGNANT, fat, and sassy and due any day. Heaven help me. Do you want a kitten?

9. Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple? Home improvement projects. They can get stressful. We are both pretty laid back though, so no arguing at our house. It's true! Ok, maybe once or twice in 10 years.

10. Did you go to the same school? No, and it's a good thing because we wouldn't have gotten anything done. Kind if like at our house.

11. Are you from the same town? No, not even the same country...see? Drama!

12. Who is the smartest? If you want to know about medical stuff and math, or random facts about how things are made - ask Tom. If you want to know about pop culture, art, and how to make yummy food - ask me. I think we balance eachother out well. (Did you notice I avoided answering?)

13. Who is the most sensitive? That is tricky. I can be more hormonal, and I have more mood swings, but Tom can get sensitive too, but I won't say over what, because then he would get sensitive.

14. Where do you eat out most as a couple? As a couple? Well now, that just doesn't happen very often, but we enjoy Mexican and Chinese, so On the Border or P.F. Chang's is probably where you would find us.

15. Where is the farthest you have traveled as a couple? I would have to say Canada, and North Carolina. Maybe one day I can say somewhere exotic.

16. Who has the craziest exes? Tom has had some doozy's. He is so lucky to have found me! ;) I only had one who was a little cooky.

17. Who has the worst temper? As I mentioned before, we are both pretty laid back, but I think we both have equal potential when it comes to raising our voice at the kids!

18. Who does the cooking? I would say I do about 90% of the cooking at our house, the remaining 10% goes to Tom's grilling abilities (which are impressive might I add), and to Little Caesar's, and Panda Express.

19. Who is more social? Me, hands down (at first anyway)! Tom can come off as reserved and shy, but when you get to know him he won't stop talking. :)

20. Who is the neat freak? We both like a clean house, but overall I am the perfectionist.

21. Who is more stubborn? I'm not in to all that zodiac stuff, but I am a Taurus....what can I say? I like to get my way.

22. Who hogs the bed? Hayden, but when he is not there, I have to say we are both very respectful of one another's "space".

23. Who wakes up earlier? Definitely Tom. I sleep as long as I possibly can, but that is also because I am up much later than Tom most nights. I am a night owl, he falls asleep every night on the couch watching TV.

24. Where was your first date? After Tom flew to Toronto, he proposed that night by the lake, the next day we went up the CN Tower downtown. I guess that was the first real "date".

25. Who has the bigger family? Tom, he is the youngest of 5...I have one younger sister.

26. Do you get flowers often? Usually for my birthday, anniversary, or Valentine's Day. I think they are more fun when they are random though (hint, hint!)

27. How do you spend the holidays? Usually here. Tom's parents have been coming every year for Thanksgiving, but we enjoy a quiet Christmas!

28. Who is more jealous? I think Tom use to be more jealous, because I have a lot of guy friends, but I can honestly say we are both very secure in our marriage now, and there is no jealousy.

29. How long did it take to get serious? Well, due to circumstances, a year.

30. Who eats more? I think we are both guilty of eating more than we should!

31. Who does the laundry? Normally I do, but I have to say Tom did about 10 loads this weekend. He goes on little cleaning sprees once in a while, and I happily just stay out of the way!

32. Who is better with the computer? Tom is more tech savvy altogether.

33. Who drives when you are together? It depends on which vehicle we use, if it's Tom's car, Tom drives, if it's the mini-van usually I take the wheel.

Wasn't that FUN??! Ok, now it's your turn! If you read this, you're tagged!! Do it! Do it!!
