So I saw this on Christa's blog and thought I'd give it a whirl. I "know" Christa (I use that term lightly... I've only met her briefly a couple of times) through my sister-in-law Tracy. Apparently they are best friends. I am trying to sever their ties and make them both dependent on me. I'm pretty desperate for friends -- and quite frankly they are the coolest people I know. I have not shared this plan with either of them, so if you guys could keep it under wraps, I would really appreciate it.
Anyway, on to the goodness:
1. How long have you been married?
7 LONG years....... I mean 7 BLISSFUL years! lol!
2. How long did you date?
We dated for about 5 1/2 months before getting engaged. Then we were engaged for a little over 2 months before getting married. WHAT WERE WE THINKING?????? :-)
3. Who eats more?
Until 2 weeks ago it was me. It was actually kinda scary how much I could put away. Shane eats like a bird anyway. When I'm old and fat he's still gonna be a little rail.
4. Who said I love you first?
I did. He was my first love and I just couldn't hold it in any longer! I totally freaked him out though!!!!
5. Who's taller?
Shane. He's almost a foot taller.
6. Who sings better?
Me, but only because I actually sing on key. That does not mean I have a good voice. Yikes!
7. Who does the dishes?
Me. Shane works too much. That and he loads the dishwasher completely wrong every time and then all of the plastic cups and bowls flip over during the wash and fill with nasty grimy dishwater. Yuck.
8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
Shane -- and it will be that way until we buy a new bed. On both sides of the mattress there is a huge indentation where he sleeps ('cause he never moves). So no matter how many times we flip and rotate the mattress, he always leaves his mark.
9. Who pays the bills?
Me. In the entire 7 years we've been married our bills have only been late twice -- Once when Kelly was born and another when Isabelle was born. Both times I was in the hospital and he forgot to pay. Spoiled boy!
10. Who mows the lawn?
No lawn to mow.
11. Who cooks dinner?
Me. Shane used to be the cook in the family until I finally learned how. Now it's been so long you would have never known he ever knew how. Currently he can only cook a handful of things -- frozen waffles and pre-cooked bacon. If he's adventurous it will be regular bacon instead of the precooked variety. It just doesn't happen that often.
12. Who is more stubborn?
Shane. I totally thought I was the most stubborn person on the planet until I met my match 8 years ago.
13. Who kissed who first?
He did. We were at his apartment at Ricks hangin' out in the kitchen when he leaned in to plant one on me. Then he looks at me and says "Wow... it's been a long two years....." Best kiss EVER!
14. Who asked who out?
Shane always asked me out. Every single date. That's pretty impressive given that I almost always asked all other guys out first.
15. Who proposed?
Shane did. But only after I told him he had to. He likes to put things off. LOL!!!!
Actually, It was pretty cool. We were both working for a Salvation Army summer camp near the Tennessee border (yeah, weird) and he proposed on a boat at night under the stars. Sooooooo sweet!
16. Who has more friends?
If Shane tried very hard to make and keep friends he would beat me 'cause he's way cooler and funnier. But he doesn't try. So I win all the way!
17. Who has more siblings?
Dead even.
Shane has four: Amy, Loren, Tracy, and Brtiney
I have four: Josiah, Louis, Guy, and Steven

fun! I love blogs like these, its fun to find out the stories behind the couples.....especially those I am related to ;-) And don't worry, I will keep your secret to the grave....
So, I thought I was your coolest friend! I totally don't remember your whole dating/engagement thing. When did you get engaged & when did you get married?
Soooo, we can best friends, I'm sure Tracy will understand. Or we could become a best friend threesome and slowly phase her out, unless Tracy's reading this then...No Ollie we can not be best friends, just best friends through marriage even though I'm not related to the Parkers, I like to pretend that I am.
Wow you are totaly getting demoted on my top friends page on facebook....I mean are you saying I"m not cool....I thought we had something here! J/K love the post.
Ok, this is getting out of control. There will be no phasing out Tracy. I am here to stay (not quite sure where "here" is but whatever)
As Paul Harvey would say, "And now we know the rest of the story."
YOU not knowing how to cook...remember our CRAZY helluv-a-roomie Lauren (wasn't that her name) that tried baking a scanky pizza DIRECTLY on the oven rack....and then wanted US to clean up the mess during white glove??? what an im-bu-sill she was! ha ha...funny memories!
Hahaha! I love your comment about the dishes. Nathan loads the dishwasher wrong too, and everything flips over and fills with yucky water, or it just doesn't get clean in the first place. But I have an advantage at dishwasher loading because we have my parents' old dishwasher, so I have, like, 12 years of experience with it. It still works great after all that time, and you don't have to "wash" your dishes before you wash them!
now that we know we stalk each other's blogs, we can be blogger friends, and even real friends too!! i loved getting to know more about you guys in this post and had to laugh about the dishwasher comment...kevin will load the dishwasher but i ALWAYS reload it for that very same reason!
