Fun Marriage Facts

I stole this from another blogger - SnoWhite - it looked like fun and I needed a mid-week blog post. :) Enjoy

♥ What are your middle names?
Mine is Marie & Chris' is Gregg

♥How long have you been together?
Well we dated for almost 5 years before getting married and we just celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary this past August. So 7 years total this January.

♥ How long did you know each other before you started dating?
Let's see - we met in high school - so we knew each other a year and a half I think before dating.

♥ Who asked who out?
Chris asked me out, although we had been hanging out "as friends" for quite a while before.

♥ Who made the first move?
Hard to say. We had mutual friends and chatted on MSN Messenger for awhile before we started dating - but I think it was Chris because he asked me out.

♥ How old are each of you?
I'm the oldest at 27. And Chris is 24 until December. So from August to December I feel really old!

♥ Did you go to the same school?
Yes, good ol' PHS.

♥ Are you from the same home town?
Yes, good ol' P-town. But technically Chris grew up on the west side of the state. He moved to P-town before middle school.

♥ Who is the smartest?
I think we're both pretty smart but Chris can keep tons of random knowledge in his brain about sports, airplanes, the military, TV shows and just about anything. That gives him an advantage.

♥ Who majored in what?
I majored in Hospitality Business Management and Chris majored in Horticulture. He's closer to using his degree then I am.

♥ Who is the most sensitive?
Probably me.

♥ Where do you eat out most as a couple?
I don't know if we have one place - we don't eat out a lot because we aren't home at the same times and we're trying to save money. But Chris recently discovered he likes Subway so we've gone there for Sunday lunch several times in the past month. :)

♥ Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Minneapolis where we went to visit our lovely friends and their new son.

♥ Who has the worst temper?
We don't really have bad tempers but I can be more mean then Chris if I'm angry.

♥ How many children do you want?
2-4

♥ Who does the cooking?
Mostly me. Since I work in the evenings I cook a big lunch and leave leftovers for Chris to eat for dinner and take to work. He's an excellent breakfast cook when he's not working on the weekends.

♥ Who is more social?
We are both pretty shy but I think I am the more social one of both of us.

♥ Who is the neat-freak?
Definitely ME! Sometimes it drives me crazy but I'm learning to be patient.

♥ Who is the most stubborn?
We are probably in a tie for that one.

♥ Who wakes up earlier?
Chris gets up earlier during the week because he works during the day and since I work until 11pm, I sleep in a little longer. But he's the king of sleeping in when he can.

♥ Where was your first date?
We went and saw "A Beautiful Mind" in the theater.

♥ Who has the bigger family?
We each grew up only children. Chris has an older half-sister and I have an older half-sister and half-brother. But we both have about the same number of aunts & uncles.

♥ Do you get flowers often?
No, sometimes I want more but most of the time I'm ok with it.

♥ How do you spend the holidays?
Well since we're both from the same town the past few years we have spent the holidays with both of our families. The only confusing part is Christmas morning where we go back and forth between houses and eat Christmas dinner all together. Since I work in a hotel, I do not get all holidays off so sometimes we improvise.

♥ Who is more jealous?
Neither of us are really jealous.

♥ How long did it take to get serious?
A couple years, we had a long distance relationship and so we probably got more serious after Chris joined me at college and we were able to spend more time together.

♥ Who eats more?
Chris is a big guy but I can eat more then him unless we're eating pizza or pasta - his favorites.

♥ What do you do for a living?
I work at a hotel - trying to branch out into event planning.
Chris currently works for a seed company and is looking for new job - he wants to be a field man for an agricultural company.

♥ Who does the laundry?
That would be me but if I do it when we're both home, Chris will help me fold it. And he does his own if his work clothes get too dirty.

♥ Who’s better with the computer?
Chris knows way more then me but I know all I need to for what I want to do.

♥ Who drives when you are together?
Usually Chris but we switch off on long trips. He loves to drive which is great with me.

♥ What is "your" song?
We don't really have one. Chris used to sing me an Elvis song when we were dating and we both love Casting Crowns "Your Love is Extravagant" which we played at our wedding.
