I’ve been tagged by my cousin Brianne. It’s one about marriage and I'm excited to write about something other than Kaitlyn.
1. What is your spouses name? James Von Gunten
2. How long have you been married? Nearly 4 years, our 4th anniversary will be this September.
3. How long did you date? We met the end of February, got engaged mid May, and married on Sept 30th. So about 7 months, pretty standard by mormon culture (excluding Rory's 5 week record setter)
4. Who eats more? I like to think that I eat less, but I think it's about the same. Although James has the capacity to eat more (really you should see him at a buffet. Honestly, where does he put it all!)
5. Who said I love you first? Kind of a funny story. James didn't want to say it until he knew I was ready. So, he told me that whenever I was ready he would say it back. So, technically I said it first, but he was the first to imply it.
6. Who sings better? hahaha! I just have to laugh because I try to get him to sing at church, but it's impossible! So maybe he is the better singer, but we'll never know!
7. Who is taller? James 5'10", I'm 5'4" (But we are hoping for a 6' ball playing boy, ya never know!)
8. Whose temper is worse? Oh boy! I would say his is worse, but very rare.
9. Who does the laundry? I do most of it, but if I plan it right and James is home he always pitches in! Thanks Hun!
10. Who does the dishes? James tries to claim he washes them all, but he doesn't see what I wash when he's not home. But he washes 80% of the dishes when we are both home. Man, what do I do around here?!
11. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If your looking at it from the foot board, me. It's closer to Kailtyn's room.
12. Who does the cooking? Now that's one thing I do 100% of. I usually really like it. James' only complaint is I love making and trying new things and he likes the food the way I made it the first time.
13. Who is more stubborn? I'm not sure. we kind of bend on different things. For instance, I wanted the name Dylan. He liked Thomas. So we compromised on Dillon (he chose the spelling).
14. Who proposed? James. Totally surprised me, I didn't even know he'd gotten a ring! He played a mean trick on me first, then proposed under a huge tree across the river from the Idaho Falls Temple.
15. Who is most likely to admit that they are wrong? I might admit it first just to ease the tension, but not really mean it. I don't think that counts though because it usually just makes me madder!
16. Whose parents do you see the most? James'. We were just there this weekend. We wish we lived closer to everyone!
17. Who pays the bills? Whoever gets the mail that day.
18. Who wears the pants? Wow, I don't really know. Maybe Kaitlyn!
19. Why do you love your husband/wife? Where do I start? He listens to my rambling whenever I need him to. He always has a TON of energy, no matter how little of sleep he gets. He loves to bargain shop like me (ebay, ross, tj, and sometimes garage sales and thrift stores). He likes shopping in general and most times out lasts me! He is an incredibly hard, diligent worker. He is super personable and can strike up a conversation with just about anyone, when in the mood. He treats me as his equal and shares the responsibilities of finance, raising kids, housework, and job decisions with me. I could go on, but that's a really long list. He is just awesome. He is my perfect match.
20. Who are three other people you are going to tag? I'll try Ashley, Melanie, and Rachel.
