Get to know us better

Sorry, its been a long weekend and I still can't think, so I am going to fill out a tag.

What is his name: Miracle Gro
What is her name: The Gardener
How long have you been together: 8 years
How long did you date: 15 months, including being engaged.
How old is he: 29
How old is she: 28
Who eats more: M.G. does. But, during 2nd trimester of pregnancy I can give him a run for his money.
Who said I love you first: Miracle Gro. I said it 30 seconds later. (One of the most memorable/special moments of my life.)
Who is taller: M.G. (by almost 11 inches)
Who sings better: Definitely M.G. He is always singing to me and the children. We love it!
Who is smarter: If its any type of math, economics, physics or statistics, M.G has the upper hand. As for the sciences and history, I have a bit of an edge. We complement each other nicely in the brains department.
Who does the laundry: When I am not pregnant I try to do it all the time, but M.G. is always willing to help no matter what my physical condition is.
Who pays the bills: I write the checks and M.G. delivers them.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed: M.G. I have only slept on the right side once and that was because I didn't know I preferred the left side until the 2nd night we were married.
Who mows the lawn: Ohh...what I would give to have a lawn to mow. Sigh...
Who cooks the dinner: I do. M.G. does do his fair share of Sunday dinners. He makes some great fried chicken, chicken parmesan and chili pork chops. YUM!!!
Who drives: Me, when its just me and the kids. M.G. when its the whole family.
Who is more stubborn: Definitely me.
Who kissed who first: We were sitting on the couch in M.G.'s apartment and he leaned in and pecked me quickly, sat back and said "there". It was over before I realized what had happened. I turned to him and said "you missed". (he didn't quite make it to my lips) Then he laid one on me and he did not miss. Poor guy; it had been over 4 years.
Who proposed: M.G. On the beach with just the seagulls at sunset and I was so surprised. :)
Who has more friends: Me. But I attribute that to having children and not my bubbly personality. ;)
Who is more sensitive: Me. I have yet to see M.G. cry and probably won't, unless I am on my death bed before him.

Cute! I love the fist kiss story. Priceless.

When did you get that picture taken? it's so cute. I don't remember the last time we had a picture taken as a couple (professionally).

I tried calling you a couple of days ago. You can't escape me! Call me back!

That was fun to read, I LOVED it!

The new picture of you and MG is awesome! Where did you have that taken? We haven't had family pictures since N was 2 weeks old and it was quite unsuccessful.

So, when talking to Nik after I did this I realized that I actually sleep on the left side of the bed- and the reason I mention that is because my answer would have been identical to yours otherwise. :)

Are you sure the dearth of friends for MG is more related to being an economist? We can actually see the glazed look come over peoples' eyes about 3 seconds after they ask us what we do.

I love your new picture too. When do you have it done? Hey how about we give up on the idea of our husband's having careers and become self-employed by opening up a minature golf course and Gandolfo's Deli combo :) We only need like 600,000 in capital ;)

seriously! Except right now is probably not a great time to start a business. Loans will be hard to come by. :(
