MY MAN

HIS NAME: David Arthur

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TOGETHER? Married for 2.6 years

HOW LONG DID YOU DATE? We dated for 2.5 years, pretty good for mormons, if I do say so myself

WHERE DID YOU MEET? A YSA dance. It is so LAME, I met his sister at a singles ward and she told me I should meet her brother, he called Caitlin the next day, and neither of us (caitlin or I) wanted to meet him somewhere where we couldn't ditch him if he was a geek, but I'll never forget the moment I saw him and thought not only was he not a geek but he was cute!

HOW OLD IS HE? 23

WHO EATS MORE? DAVE... no contest, he eats like a horse and doesn't gain an ounce!

WHO SAID I LOVE YOU FIRST? Dave, he threw it out there like is wasn't a big deal, I freaked and said it back...a few months later I really meant it

WHO IS TALLER? Dave

WHO SINGS BETTER? Dave will say that he does, because he beat me at SingStar... however, I'd have to say I am better at holding a note, NEITHER of us are that good!

WHO IS SMARTER? I am "book smart" Dave is "Life Smart", we compliment each other, I hope!

WHO DOES THE LAUNDRY? ME ME ME, Dave got married and forgot how to sort black and white, it is off bounds to him, and I am fine with that!

WHO DOES THE DISHES? Sadly me, I wish Dave would do them more, because I HATE them... I love dishwashers, and I hate pots & pans!

WHO SLEEPS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED? Dave, but I'll often push him over to the left because sometimes I think that side must be comfier.. pregnancy makes any bed uncomfortable!

WHO PAYS THE BILLS? Me & Dave, it's a joint effort! Dave pays the big ones that make the bank account dramatically, they are to depressing to me!

WHO DRIVES WHEN YOU ARE TOGETHER? Dave most of the time, except when he is just to tired, I tell him how to the whole time though!

WHO IS MORE STUBBORN? Thats a Toss up, we both have out stubborn sides on certain issues

WHO KISSED WHO FIRST? Dave kissed me first

WHO ASKED WHO OUT? Dave asked me out, after the Dance he called to get together, once again didn't want to commit to much, so I meet him at a group thing, he thought I was CRAZY and took another two weeks to come around and call me again, and then he really "asked me out" later, I laughed because it sounded so corny, poor guy!

WHO PROPOSED? Dave, once again I laughed, it was christmas day at Karyns house, such a happy time, he cried, I laughed!

WHO IS MORE SENSITIVE?We both are, as "tough guy" as Dave seems, he really does have a sensitive side, it is one of my most favorite things about him!

WHO HAS MORE FRIENDS?Dave has more "highschool friends", I just have my close friends, not many but very important to me.

WHO HAS MORE SIBLINGS? Dave wins... he has 7 siblings, and I just have 4 sisters, still good but nowhere near the 8 kids in his family

WHO WEARS THE PANTS IN THE FAMILY? I hope it is equal, because thats what a marriage is, a partnersip, not a dictatorship! We work on in, because I tend to nag! I don't want to wear the pants! UNLESS the pants are a really cute pair of Rock & Republics because I want those! JUST KIDDING, we are working on it!

I LOVE MY HUSBAND, I think I've really forgotten how much since Claire was born, sadly she has taken a lot of my attention that I used to give to him, I know he feels neglected! poor guy! I think I will try to be a little better wife, not just a mother!
