5 years!

Yesterday was our 5 year wedding anniversary :) And I didn't post, cuz we were busy doing laundry :D

Because Paul has his CMA entrance exam this week, we're waiting until next weekend to celebrate - it'll also be our 4year Temple sealing anniversary, so that'll be nice to celebrate too :D

My friend Nat (I typed "gNat" first, but not sure if that is still okay or not :D ) tagged me, and it seemed like a fun thing to do as we're celebrating 5 years of wedded bliss...

What are your middle names? Lynn & Andrew

How long have you been together? 5 years married, and about 10 months of dating/engagement before that.
How long did you know each other before you started dating? eeek, I don't actually know. A semester, maybe?
Who asked who out? Paul asked me. In person, even - he first tried to ask me online, but I wasn't having any of that!
Whose siblings do you see the most? Paul, since none of mine live in Canada, and all of his live in the same city
Do you have any children together? Yup. We have a Gabby-mookin-bum :)
What about pets? yeah... anybody want 2 cats?
Did you go to the same school? We both went to Mt Royal College - but the sameness ends there!
Who is the most sensitive? I'm louder about it, but he's pretty sensitive sometimes too :)
Where do you eat out most as a couple? Yup - Paul's parents' house :D Good Company!
Where is the furthest you have ever traveled as a couple? Washington D.C.
Who has the worst temper? not sure - we're both pretty mellow. Probably me - I threw a glass once.
Who does the cooking? Mostly me, but Paul likes to remind me that he cooked our first homemade meal ever after the wedding - I think it was pasta.
Who is more social? Me, no question.
Who is the neat freak? we both like things clean and organized - he's more consistent about it, but I'm more thorough.
Who is the most stubborn? I think it's him. Apparently, he thinks it's me :D
Who hogs the bed? We both get half. Just, my half is in the middle. :D
Who wakes up earlier? Paul - I'm so not a morning person. Not before, not ever.
Where was your first date? To see the movie "Honey" (*embarassment*) with my roommate and her bf, who ditched us...
Who has the bigger family? I guess it's me, even though technically I'm an only child, and Paul has 3 siblings. But I've got lots of halves/steps, and so Paul has more in-laws than I do (poor guy)
Do you get flowers often? Not anymore - I've told Paul I'd way rather get a gift than flowers, cuz flowers have to be taken care of, and then they die, and then you have to clean up after them... Truthfully, I'd way rather go dancing :D
Who eats more? Paul thinks it might be me, and I think it's probably Paul... but it probably depends on whether or not I'm pregnant.
Who sings better? I take this one - I sing more and I've been trained, but Paul has a really nice voice, he just doesn't like to sing when people hear.
Who does the laundry? Paul, but hopefully that'll change as he gets work and we move to where we have laundry in our home instead of going to the in-laws (which we appreciate tons!!)
Who's is better with the computer? Paul. altho, I'm alright myself :)
Who drives when you are together? Paul, but that's cuz he's a terrible backseat driver.
Who picks where you go to dinner? Me, as long as they have a Bacon-Cheddar-Burger - as long as the place I pick has that, Paul is fine.
Who is the first one to admit when they are wrong? Paul - I'm never wrong. :p
Who wears the pants in the relationship? Paul thinks he does
Who eats more sweets? Paul likes candy more, but we both like cookie dough!
Who cries more? Paul. jk!! me. It's me. Altho, I haven't cried much since Gabby was born. Less hormonal.
What's your best day together? Eek, that one's hard - I barely remember yesterday... I like the days that we move... or that there is dancing... :)
Where did you honeymoon? We went to Banff for the long weekend.
Favorite date night? Dancing :) Or concerts :)
Favorite TV show to watch together? We watch Friends a LOT, but our current favorite is Britain's Got Talent
Couple I imagine us growing old like? Paul's Grandpa Fred and his wife Clara (I never knew Paul's biological grandma, she was gone before I was around) - they had their basement tricked out with mongo bookshelves full of church books (for Paul) and the other side was all crafty quilting stuff (for me!)

Thanks babe for tagging me, it was fun :)

I tag: Rhonda, Erica, and Monica.

Monica said...

Happy anniversary!!! That was a cute post, hey where do you guys go dancing? Wyatt and I want to go dancing, but I can't think of where to go, plus we tried a class, and we got the Dance Nazi for an instructor, so we withdrew, it was supposed to be fun, so yup, where do you guys go?
Oh and I have never been tagged, how exciting! ...oh the simple life!

So, What's up with that "Paul has more in laws than I, Poor Guy"? We aren't so bad...really, we're not
