MY VALENTINE...

*What is his full name? BENJAMIN ROWE BENNETT

*How long have you been married? 9 YEARS

*How long did you date? NOT LONG ENOUGH! (JKOC) 3 MO'S-we eloped to the San Diego Temple.

*Who eats more sweets? HIM (I'M OFF SUGAR) HE'S AN ICECREAM ADDICT. HE PRETTY MUCH EATS MORE SWEETS THAN ANYONE-and he's skinny as a rail. Hardly seems fair, huh?!

*Who said I love you first? CAN'T RECALL, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE IT WAS HIM...

*How old is he? 30

*Who is smarter? BOOK SMARTS: HIM, STREET SMARTS: ME FOR SURE!!!

*Who can sing better? UP FOR DEBATE-we can both carry a tune, but that's pretty much it.

*What is his favorite road trip snack? YOU NAME IT- ANYTHING WITH SUGAR AND/OR CAFFEINE. HE HAS EVEN BEEN KNOWN TO EAT KIPPER SNACKS BEFORE-SICK.

*What are his hobbies? WORK, OUTDOORS (hiking, biking, skiing, camping, kayaking), SCOUTS.

*Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? ME-I ALWAYS SLEEP ON WHICHEVER SIDE IS CLOSER TO THE BATHROOM.

*Who mows the lawn? ME. I DON'T LIKE THE WAY HE DOES IT. (HE WON'T EDGE, AND HE DOESN'T FERTILIZE AT 1/2 STRENGTH IN A CRISS-CROSS PATTERN. I LOVE A PERFECT LAWN.)

*Who does the laundry? ME. He helps put it away once in awhile.

*Who pays the bills? ME. But we may be making a change after our most recent budget review! :)

*Who cooks dinner? PROBABLY CLOSE TO 50/50. I do it out of neccessity (and because I'd rather clean up after MY messes than his!), he does it because he LOVES it!

*Who is more stubborn? THAT WOULD BE A TOSS-UP. I WOULD SAY HIM FOR SURE, HE WOULD PROBABLY SAY IT WAS DEFINITELY ME. HE IS MORE SILENTLY STUBBORN ("I'LL AGREE WITH YOU AND DO WHAT I WANT LATER..."), WHEREAS I PRETTY MUCH WEAR MY EMOTIONS ON MY SLEEVE.

*Who asked who out? HE ASKED ME OUT. WE WENT MTN. BIKING AND TO DINNER.

*Who kissed who first? HE KISSED ME. AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS...AND IT WAS ONLY A PECK. I WAS LIKE, "HELLO! WHAT WAS THAT?!" SORRY BABE, BUT YOU GOTTA ADMIT.

*Who proposed? HIM. HE TOOK ME UP IN THE SNOW AND HAD A CANDLE LIT DINNER COMPLETE WITH A BONFIRE AND ROSE PETALS. VERY ROMANTIC, MEMORABLE AND SWEET!

*Who has more friends? I WOULD HAVE TO SAY HE'S PROBABLY MORE LIKEABLE, BUT DOESN'T HAVE AS MUCH TIME FOR FRIENDS, SO BY DEFAULT, ME. I LOVE MY GREAT FRIENDS.

*Who is more sensitive? PROBABLY NEITHER. MORE EASILY ANNOYED...? Definitely yours truly. I have a LOT of pet peaves...eating noises,snoring, brown and black, navy and black-even worse-it would take way too long to name them all. To avoid making myself sound ALL bad, I have to say that despite my tendencies to have short patience and to be pretty peticular, I NEVER hold grudges. If I get mad, I get over it REALLY quickly.

*Who has more siblings? HIM. He has 4 full, 6 halves, and 11 steps in all. I have 4 full (including myself). I like to say he has a "family spider web" as opposed to a family tree. But what a GREAT web it is! I LOVE his family. (and mine too of course!)

*Who wears the pants? I ALWAYS TELL HIM THAT IT SHOULD BE ME SINCE I'M OLDER (BY 4 YEARS), BUT WE BOTH DO. DEPENDS ON THE ISSUE.
