Hubby Dating Tag

An engagement pictureI have been tagged to tell about my husband and about our dating years.
Husbands Name: Robert, Rob, Robby
How long did we date: friends for 2 months, dated for 2 months, engaged for 2 months
How long have we been married: Almost 12 years – August 24th
How old is he: He just turned 35
Who eats more: Eats more of what?  Chocolate? me. Pasta? Rob.
Who said I LOVE YOU first: Me! We were in my apartment having some sort of deep discussion when it hit me, and I just said it.  He answered “I love you too” back so fast that I was afraid he didn’t mean it and was just trying to say what I wanted to hear.  (I don’t read into everything as much now as I used to.)
Who is taller: Rob, by about 8 inches.
Who is a better singer: Me, Rob can hear the tune but can’t get it to come out right. I’m not far ahead of him though.
Who is smarter: Rob.  He can remember everything trivial and most things important.
Who does the laundry: Me, unless Rob is out of something then he will do it without any fuss.
Who does the dishes: Me, unless Rob is being particularly gallant or I ask him to.
Who mows the lawn: One of the advantages to renting- the gardeners hired by the landlord.
Who cooks: I do most of the time, but Rob does whenever he gets a chance or wants to give me a break.  He knows I don’t like cooking.
Who drives: I do when I know how to get there better than he does, but usually Rob. On road trips we rotate turns.
Who proposed: Rob did at a little restaurant called La Dolce Vita. He brought the ring with him and talked to the waiter who was a native Italian (While I was sitting right there. I kind of thought something might be up.) and worked out a way to present it to me. I was served a dessert with a ring right in the center.
Who is more stubborn: Me.
Who is more sensitive: I’m not sure.  I would say that I am more insensitive, so does that make him more sensitive?
Who wears the pants: We’re equally matched most of the time. In fact we argue over who’s turn it is to pick the movie or which restaurant to go to.
First Kiss: Once again we were in my apartment sitting on the couch.  (That summer I only had one roommate and she was gone a lot.) He was helping me study for a religion class, and at some point he felt the moment was right and leaned in for a kiss. I remember it was very simple and nice, and Rob remembers saying something profound like, “You’re really cool.”
TAG, YOU ARE IT……

    You’re insensitive? Note to self! Well I don’t believe that. Fun idea for a post. You don’t like cooking, I didn’t know that about you!

    I loved reading this, I didn’t know a lot of this stuff, except for the cooking, and Rob’s love for pasta. He made a few pasta dinners for us after he came home from his mission, and I have seriously loved pasta ever since. Thanks Rob!

    It makes me happy to know that my “big” sis has a sweetheart who is good to her! 🙂 It is fun walking down memory lane….
