Here’s a little something I picked up from from Dooce.  I love reading this blog – it is one of my favorites for sure.  I laughed so hard reading her responses I thought I would do one of my own. 

What are your middle names?
My middle name is Anne, after my aunty Anne Richier (also my god mothers) and Steve’s middle name is Kenneth, but he detests that name – something to do with how his first marriage broke down!

How long have you been together?
Steve and I met in gym class in 1989 (grade at Abbotsford Jr. High.  He was the only guy tall enough to be taller than me so of course I wanted to be his square dancing partner.  We had a short romance that consisted of passing notes and giggling alot.  Steve bought me my first ever rose from a suitor.  He was such a gem.  He then transfered highschools and his life and mine, went on.  There were many times over the years where our lives crossed paths, but nothing every transpired.  It wasn’t until Jan 22nd of 1999 that we reconnected and sparks flew – again.  I was working a college night at a local bar in town – Steve walked in and the rest is history.  We were inseperable from that time on (Jan 99, but we didn’t actually start dating until July 1999 – moved in together in Dec, moved to Alberta in Sept 2000, married in June 2002 and now, here we are today!

How long did you know each other before you started dating?
We started dating 6 months after we reconnected.

Who asked whom out?
Initially I asked Steve out and he said no – he just didn’t want a ‘relationship’.  I took that as a no and moved on.  He didn’t like me ‘moving on’ so like a dog, he got upset and staked his claim.  I took that as a ‘yes’ and now here we are.

How old are each of you?
I’m 32, he’s 34.

Whose siblings do you see the most?
We see Steve’s sister Jocelyn the most, and then my brother Billy next.

Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
Finances.  It is really hard when you are so poor you wonder how you will make it through.  But, we do, we always do and things are getting better.

Did you go to the same school?
Jr. high yes.

Are you from the same home town?
I was born in Prince George, BC and Steve is a Mission, BC boy, but we both grew up in Abbotsford, BC.

Who is smarter?
I think I am book smarter, but Steve has way more street smarts than I do.  We both compliment each other in areas we know nothing about – it is a perfect match!

Who is the most sensitive?
Me – too sensitive, overly sensitive – this is a sore subject for both Steve and I.

Where do you eat out most as a couple?
At our kitchen table.  Since we moved out to the country we don’t eat out often.  Breakfast out is our most common meal so Ricky’s would be the right answer here.

Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
South – Seattle, north Peace River, east Saskatoon.  We don’t get out much – has something to do with spending all our holiday time going back to Abbotsford to visit family.

Who has the craziest exes?
I only have 1 ex and he is a pretty decent guy – so I am gonna have to say, by default – Steve – he has soooo many ex’s I am sure there is at least 1 crazy one in there!

Who has the worst temper?
We are both pretty evenly matched in this area.  We just manifest our anger in different ways.  I like to talk and talk and talk till I beat you to death with my words and Steve likes to break things and smash things including remote controls (dumb ass has to get up to change the channel now)

Who does the cooking?
Me.  I cannot survive on bacon eggs and hashbrowns alone!

Who is the neat-freak?
There is nothing wrong with neatness.  It is me though who likes things a certain way, and it is Steve who is secretly trying to unhinge me by causing disorder and mayhem in my world.

Who is more stubborn?
Steve by far, followed by Mckenzi – who get’s that from her dad.

Who hogs the bed?
Me, but not as much as Hannah does or Mckenzi did when she was little.

Who wakes up earlier?
Unfortunately me.  I wish I were a sleeper, but I am not.

Where was your first date?
The airport.    We went to a family function of Steve’s at the Abbotsford Flying Club.

Who is more jealous?
Me.

How long did it take to get serious?
I think I told him after 2 days of just being friends again that I loved him.  For me it was always serious.  I am a pretty serious person.  It took Steve a little longer, but that is okay, he is a boy, that is normal.

Who eats more?
Me, no question.

Who does the laundry?
Again, unfortunately me.

Who’s better with the computer?
Again, me.

Who drives when you are together?
We share that job equally.  I think I am the better driver because I have never been in an accident.  But, Steve is quick to point out – it ins’t how many accidents I have been in, it is how many I have caused.  Don’t you just love him!

Now, go ahead and leave your responses in the comments section or leave a link to your own post with your answeres.  I look forward to hearing about your spouse!
