So I am sitting here snowed in with kids home from school, feeling lazy, reading blogs, having fun. I decided to answer some questions about my cute husband and get all ready to feel the love for Valentine’s Day next week. Here Goes:
What is his name? Stephen Sperry Parker
How long have you been married? 13 Years – WOW!
How long did you date? 5 months before the mission, some letters in between, and 3 weeks after
How old is he? 33
Who eats more sweets? If we are not talking chocolate covered cinnamon bears, which we fight over who gets the last one…Definitely me – I’m a Baldwin and he’s Diabetic.
Who said I love you first? I honestly don’t know
Who is taller? Him – He boasts as being the tallest in his family at 5’8″
Who can sing better? I can sing better but he could win a whistling contest with his vibrato whistle!
Who is smarter? Definitely Him! He seriously knows a little about everything, a lot about most things and has a killer memory, especially with numbers.
Who does the laundry? Always me, although he carries the laundry baskets.
Who pays the bills? Me
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do, whenever we move he picks his side and I take the other. I just discovered that I am the one who is always closest to the door. (I wonder if he sabotages me because of kids coming in during the night?)
Who mows the lawn? I do and he trims the weeds and fixes the lawn mower when I break it- we make a good team!
Who cooks dinner? Mostly me, but he isn’t afraid to cook. He makes breakfast every Sunday morning, while I get the dinner preparations done.
Who drives? Him, and in this weather it leaves me a little white knuckled and hoarse!
Who is more stubborn? Both! Luckily it is usually about different things.
Who kissed who first? It was a joint effort, one to never forget. We were out at the Sand Dunes playing in the sand and it just happened naturally – perfect!
Who asked who out first? Stephen asked me to the Junior Prom when I was a Junior. I had two great friends who really liked Stephen and would have loved to go with him. I felt so guilty that he asked me instead of them, but was excited about going with him too. In fact – I wasn’t very nice to him for a few months while I was trying to figure out my loyalties. I think he liked the challenge though.
Who proposed? He did of course. We took a drive to Island Park one Sunday afternoon and enjoyed talking and seeing the beauty. While we were talking at the cabin on the hill, He said “So tell me more about yourself when you were younger.” To which I replied, “What do you want to know?” He surprised both of us by saying, “I want to know if you’ll marry me?” I said, “You are doing this right now and right here?” He said, “I guess so.” Ever since then it has been a wild and wonderful journey.
Who has more siblings? Him
Who wears the pants? He likes to let me think that I do, when in reality we know who has surrendered to building 5 houses! Really, it just depends on the issue – we takes turns trying them on.
