Just a little story I saw on another blog and thought was cute! I love being a mom and taking care of my sweet boy!
I was walking with my 4 year old
daughter. She picked up something
off the ground and started to put it
in her mouth. I took the item away
from her and I asked her not to do
that.
"why?" my daughter asked.
"Because its been on the ground,
you don't know where it's been, it's
dirty, and probably has germs," I
replied.
At this point, my daughter looked at
me with total admiration and asked,
"Momma, how do you know all this
stuff. You are so smart."
I was thinking quickly, "All moms
know this stuff. It's on the mom
test. You have to know it, or they
don't let you be a mom."
We walked along in silence for 2 or
3 minutes, but she was evidently
pondering this new information.
"Oh...I get it!" she beamed. "So if
you don't pass the test you have to
be a dad."
"Exactly," I replied back with a big
smile on my face.
How long have you been together? We will have our 5 year anniversary this year on June 27th.
How long did you date? Um...about a year and a half. We were friends first so it's hard to say when we actually started dating.
How old is he? 28
Who eats more? He does. Well he eats more at one time. I probably eat more throughout the day.
Who said "I love you" first? I did! I didn't know how he felt and was so worried about being rejected. I said, "I have to tell you something." It was so awkward.
Who is taller? He is. But not by a lot. He doesn't like it if I wear big shoes cause then it makes me taller than him.
Who is smarter? We always tease each other because I got good grades in High School and didn't go to college. He didn't do so well in High School and is a college grad. I think he is very smart, but doesn't enjoy school like I did.
Who does the laundry? I usually do the laundry. But Bevin will always help here and there and if he is out of clothes he will put some in the wash.
Who does the dishes? Both, and we both hate it.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do. Which is good because right now the bed is pushed up against the wall on his side which would make it hard to get out of bed at night if I needed to get Carter!
Who pays the bills? I do. I like to have everything organized and know what is going where, but Bevin always knows what is going on!
Who mows the lawn? We haven't really ever had a lawn to mow and do not own a lawn mower. In Mesquite we had a little patch of grass and it only got mowed once when we hired someone to do it before we moved. Growing up since I was the oldest I always got to mow the lawn so I have lots of experience.
Who cooks dinner? It's probably pretty equal. I like to cook and have been trying to cook more often and try new things. Bevin's dad is the cook in the house and hopefully Bevin will follow in his footsteps.
Who is more stubborn? Both of us are so stubborn. But I always claim that Bevin ends up getting his way most of the time. Just cause he is more competitive and I give up.
Who kissed who first? I kissed his neck while we were watching a movie without even knowing it. I just felt so comfortable with him. Then my roommate came home.
Who asked who out? Well like I said we were friends first so we just kept hanging out and I don't even remember an official first date. I do think that we had a DTR(determine the realationship)! Ha Ha
Who proposed? He did. At the ranch that he worked at in Idaho. His friend woke me up in the middle of the night and said that the buffalo had gotten out of the fence and they needed help getting them back in. So we went running to the barn and he told me to climb up a ladder and stand out on this bridge that went across the barn over the holding area and shine a flashlight so they could see to get the buffalo back in. Then he was gone. I was scared to death and started walking out onto the bridge. Suddenly some light came on that were wrapped around the logs of the barn. I didn't remember them being there earlier. When I looked across Bevin was standing on the other side in a tux and holding flowers. Behind me was his brother taking pictures and filming us. Then he got down on his knee and pulled out the ring. I had no idea. I could not stop shaking first from being scared, then from being so happy!!!
Who is more sensitive? Me. I am a girl. I am way more emotional than Bevin.
Who has more friends? We both have lots of friends. For a guy I think Bevin had kept in touch with a lot of his friends and they are still very close.
Who has more siblings? Bevin...he has 2 sisters and 2 brothers, I have one brother, one sister.
Who wears the pants in the relationship? Bevin.
I tag Sallie, Jen, Amanda, and Emily
We went to Boise on last weekend to hang out with Amy(Bevin's sister) and Bill(Amy's boyfriend). We needed a trip and thought we would try leaving Carter for his first time without us overnight. He stayed with Gma and Gpa Myers for a few days and then with Gma and Gpa Cox the last day and a half. Thanks for taking care of our little boy. We had a fun time but missed him lots.
