Shawntele's Birthday and A Valentine Meme, oh my!

So yesterday was my 36th birthday, some would say I am young pup, and yet others (like my little brother)think I am over the hill. Well let me assure that I am neither. I am exactly the perfect age, at the perfect place, right where God wants me to be. Besides, according to my Wii Fit, which my family bought me for my birthday, I am actually 26, so there!


Anyway, I love memes, they give me something to type without having to think too hard. Since I have yet to be tagged by someone, I have taken it upon myself to tag ME. And guess what? If you are reading this right now, you're it!

So onto this great meme I saw over at Mary's blog.


♥How long have you been together? 16 years

♥ How long did you know each other before you started dating? about 2 hours!

♥ Who asked who out? it was just one of those things that happened

♥ How old are each of you? I am 36, DH is 47

♥ Whose siblings do/did you see the most? definitely mine, although that is not very often

♥ What about pets? No pets, but if the kids had their way we would have many!

♥ Did you go to the same school? no

♥ Are you from the same home town? No, but we were born in the same province.

♥ Who is the smartest? I am smarter, and DH would agree.

♥ Who is the most sensitive? I would say we are both fairly equal.

♥ Where do you eat out most as a couple? We usually eat out as a family, but on the rare occurrence when it is the two of us he lets me pick and I always choose Applebee's.

♥ Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? a spa resort in Florida

♥ Who has the worst temper? Is this a fair question? I would say it used to be him, but now it is me.

♥ Who does the cooking? I do, I am always trying to come up with different recipes for him to try. He is not picky like the kids!

♥Who is the neat freak? He is the organized freak, I am the clean freak.

♥ Who is the more stubborn? Again, I am.

♥ Where was your first date? Hmmm, not sure we even had one, we just looked at each other and moved in together...GASP!

♥ Who has the bigger family? He has the bigger immediate family, I have the bigger extended family~ too many to keep track of.

♥ Do you get flowers often? When we first started dating I got them all the time, now I just see them as a waste of money. Although they are beautiful, I would rather he spend our money elsewhere.

♥ How do you spend the holidays? Just the five of us together, doing whatever we want.

♥ How long did it take to get serious? Two hours...

♥ Who’s better with the computer? I am!

♥ Who drives when you are together? He does, although I would like to; I love my truck! He is very thoughtful though, he doesn't move the seat or the mirrors. :)
