I’m a member of Facebook (who isn’t, right?) and these things/quizzes/questionnaires keep popping up. You copy, paste, change your answers and send on.
I visited Dooce this morning and she had shared one on her site, and encouraged others to do the same. So I will.
It’s all about Hubby and I. Funnily enough, I never call him Hubby in real life. It’s just a thing I do here.
What are your middle names?
Mine is Louise, Hubby’s is David. Very boring, eh.

How long did you know each other before you started dating?
We started dating straight away. Well, that’s what it felt like to me. We met. Liked each other. Hung out. Happy days.

Who asked whom out?
I had this theory that if I never initiate a text conversation or come off too needy or pushy, I can’t appear to eager and ruin things. I let him chase me. Well, not chase. I’m not sure Hubby chases anyone besides Lacey… but whatever my little theory was, it seemed to work.

Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
We are so laid back and easy going. We don’t yell at each other. We talk things out. I wouldn’t say it’s been hard on ‘us’ but this sleep deprivation business has been taxing on us as individuals.

Did you go to the same school?
Hubby went to an all boys private school. I went to a public school down South. So, no.

I am from a town which is considered to be in the Country, Hubby is from the City. He has lived here all his life. I lived 3 hours away from Sydney until I turned 18 and moved to the City.

Where do you eat out most as a couple?
At the moment it’s the very romantic food court at Westfield’s if we go up there to do the grocery shopping. He grabs a crepe. I grab a sandwich.

Who has the craziest exes?

Who has the worst temper?
Hubby has seen some pretty colourful language from me when I’ve had a phone conversation with a family member that wasn’t very pretty. I might win this one.

Where was your first date?
It was at Hubby’s place (which is now my home too) to watch State of Origin. We may have ordered pizza, or more than likely Hubby cooked. I remember he once made a cake for us too. He’s so cute.

We were pretty serious from the start. Well, about our relationship anyway. Everything else in life is a joke to us. We’re always laughing.

Who eats more?
Me. I think. I remember every year we’d go on road trips up the coast which take a minimum of 8 hours. The first year we went our relationship was new and fresh, you know where you’re on your best behaviour (i.e. always beautiful, never passing wind, perfect etc!). We would get up early and start driving. A few hours in and I would be STARVING. My stomach would be eating itself and I would politely ask: Are you hungry? He wouldn’t be so we’d keep on driving. Meanwhile I’m too polite to mention that if I don’t eat within the next five minutes I may just pass out… Eventually I would request a food stop.

Who’s better with the computer?
We both can do different things. We’re not that talented though. Just the basics.

You guys sound like such a great couple. I have to say, I very much remember going on road trips and DH saying he wasn’t hungry meanwhile I was dying! Now, he knows that when I say I’m hungry he’d better stop at the next hunger stop if he knows what’s good for him! lol.

thanks again…mompaulak xoxo
I love tnat you politely asked for a food stop.
My darling husband learnt very early on that any of our roadtrips would be heavily punctuated with both pee and food stops.
As he grew up with brothers and no sisters, this whole ‘needing to go’ every 2 hours was as foreign to him as written Korean .
But bless him… he still married me!
This is very sweet, especially that you're both always laughing 😀 Lucky Lacey to grow up in a laughing household!
So cute! I love this. It really shares who you are individually, as well as a couple. x
