This one's for Shelley!

Morgan told me all about the tag thing last night at the pool. We had lot's of fun with wittle weah. She looked so cute in her swimming suit. Hopefully it will become a tradition to swim on Thursday nights. So here are my answers. This is going to take forever, hopefully Esme will sleep through the whole thing.
1. Who do you love? Well, I guess I'm supposed to love everyone. But there are times when I could really use the word hate. Like when my neighbor puts a big yellow garbage bin in front of my house so he can cut his trees down. Why can't it go in front of his own house? I do love my family the most. I love Josh because he can make me laugh even when I am seething about the neighbor. I love Kelsie because she has been through it all with me. I love Hannah for her goofy grins. I love Jonas because he says the cutest things. I love Maren because of her own unique behavior and her new cry. I love Esme because she is still so very innocent. I love my Y.W. because they make me feel young. I love my extended family because we have so much fun together playing games, going on trips, laughing at each others stories and views, and for long distance phone calls.
2. How long have you been married? This one is hard for me. Josh always keeps track of the years. I would have to go look at my paper work to find out the year, then I would have to add it up and that is not on the list to take care of today. I will make an educated guess, 11 yrs.? I can figure this out! Kelsie was three when we got married and now she is fifteen so that would make 12 yrs, yikes!
3. How long did you date? Josh and I dated for about three months before we got married, but we new each other a lot longer.
4. I mixed up 3 and 4! Who said "I love you" first? Josh did! After we had been dating for about a week. We were sitting on my couch watching a movie (Star Trek: The Next Generation, I think) and he just blurted it out. Then he said, "I didn't mean to say that". Talk about strange! I was very confused!
5. Where did he propose? Behind the Lion House. We walked around Temple Square for a very long time. I got the hint that he was very nervous and was looking for the perfect spot, but it took forever! There were lots of flowers and a nice wooden bench. He started talking to me in Swedish. When he stopped, he just stared at me. I said something like did you just ask me to marry you? Please say it in English!
6. Who is taller? This one is a given! Does anyone need clarification?
7. Who is smarter? I am changing to who has the most common sense and who has the best sense of direction? Me :)
8. Who does the laundry? Josh did it while I was at girls camp last summer, there were alot of ruined clothes. I said, "Couldn't you have done the dishes or vacuumed instead"! Speaking of the laundry, I should be doing it right now, oh boy, I'm going to really get behind.
9. Who pays the bills? About a month ago I made Josh show me how he does all the computer bill pay stuff. You must be prepared for anything.
10. Who mows the lawn? Kelsie, I am obviously not a perfectionist! I do like what it looks like when I cut it diagonally. Nobody else does it that way.
11. Who cooks dinner? There are lots of people who can cook at my house. On the weekends it might even be someone from outside of the house who cooks dinner. We will miss Andrew's pizza!
12. Who drives? Josh, most of the time! But he drives me nuts. He drives so slow, and always misses our turns or exits.
13. I will tag my cousin Lorena and my sister-in-law Liz? Answer the questions on your blog or change them to suit yourself!

I loved your answers to the questions. How funny it is to hear things about people you know really well, but don't know some of those private things. I love how Josh proposed.

This was so cute! I love hearing these stories. What a fun tag this has been I think I may just start another one! Considering it was fun to read your answers and think about what I would say! Swimming was fun and we'll see you later tonight! WITH ANDREW!!!

That was a fun post. I really liked it. I especially liked the extra effort you put in the answers. Do you know that Kent told me I love you after a week also. We'll have to discuss these crazy guys sometime!
