So How's Married Life?

In this new stage of life, the question we are most asked is "how's married life." We laugh and have fun making up sarcastic responses, but I saw this and thought it might provide answers for those who truly want to know.

This was a facebook meme to begin with, but I stole it for the blog.

How long have you been together?
We began dating back in May and we've been married a little more than five weeks.

How long did you know each other before you started dating?
Ha! Four and a half years, I believe?

Who asked who out?
Barron asked me out of the blue after I had just jumped on his case for a list of things...go figure.

Whose siblings do you see the most?
His. Mine's too busy at MU.

Do you have any children together?
Nope - and that's how we like it for now.

What about pets?
Nope - and that's how we like it.

Did you go to the same school?
Yes, Missouri State.

Who is the most sensitive?
I guess me...

Where do you eat out most as a couple?
Hmm, hard to say. It will probably be Ziggie's in the near future, since we recently won a bunch of gift certificates there. Ha! Breakfast anyone?

Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Cancun. Oh I miss it.

Who has the craziest exes?
Neither of us have any exes...but we'll say Barron for fun.

Who has the worst temper?
I am obviously more outspoken, but he does have red hair ;)

Who does the cooking?
That would be me. But Barron is good help when I ask.

Who is more social?
As if I need to answer that.

Who is the neat freak?
We both put things back in the right place and keep the place pretty neat. Although I am the one who gets really frustrated by clutter, and Barron is quickly learning to jump up and help when those moods hit.

Who is the most stubborn?
That's hard to say - when it comes to something petty like what color the couch in the back room is (green), we choose to agree to disagree.

Who hogs the bed?
Barron would have said me during the first couple weeks, but it was only because it was so cold in the house. As the weather warms up, we're pretty even.

Who wakes up earlier?
Again, HA. That'd be me.

Where was your first date?
Unofficially, Lowes to purchase replacement parts for the drain trap after a roommate dropped a ring down the drain.
Officially, Ocean Zen where Barron almost choked on a piece of sushi and then to Art Walk.

Who has the bigger family?
We're about even.

Do you get flowers often?
Well, the first flower that I was supposed to get was destroyed by a rain storm...so I got a picture of a flower.

How long did it take to get serious?
Not long, because I told him before saying yes, if he wasn't thinking long term, there was no way I'd go out with him.

Who sings better?
I'd have to say me, unless it's at Rock Band - Barron's pretty amazing at that!

Who does the laundry?
We both do....and he's even better about actually putting it away.

Who’s better with the computer?
That's a laughable question.

Who drives when you are together?
Barron, usually.

Who picks where you go to dinner?
The coupons pick where we go to dinner...and we've got some good ones!

Who is the first one to admit when they’re wrong?
Wrong? Neither of us are ever wrong. :)

Who wears the pants in the relationship?
He does...but we both know we have to make an effort to fulfill our God-given roles and overcome our personalities.

Who has more tattoos?
Neither of us have any, and I do believe it will stay that way!

Who eats more sweets?
Um, Barron - he has a serious sweet tooth.

Who cries more?
I suppose me, but again, that's still very minimal.
