Happy Valentine's Day!

I saw this on a friend's blog and thought it was perfect for Valentine’s Day! If any of you out there want to do it as well, consider yourself tagged! Happy Valentine’s Day to my Honey!—I love you soooooooo much!!

How long have you been together? We first went out on Dec. 20th, 2003, but we didn't hold hands until March 2004, so going by that, three years and 11 months!


How old is he?
25--he's got me beat by 5 months almost to the day

Who eats more? Well...I actually do eat a lot (I like to eat!) but I would have to say that he does

Who said "I love you" first? He did. It was so sweet, we'd been dating a couple months and we were in his car listening to music and he said, "Criscell, I know that I love you", kind of out of the blue, but it felt so natural to tell him that I did too!

Who is taller? He is. I'm 5'8'' and he's 6 ft. exactly. It's just the perfect height--I can still wear tall shoes now and then!
Who sings better? I do. Anyone who has ever heard Caleb sing would know that it's pretty bad (sorry Hon!) but honestly, it is soooooooo cute when he sings primary songs or nursery rhymes to Caysja once in a while and I love it!! He is, however, VERY athletic and the star of his high school basketball team (or any basketball team that he happens to be on--the one he's on at Midwestern here, just won the championship!!)
Who is smarter? He is. I used to think we were about equal...that totally ended when we came to med school 6 months ago!!! Sometimes he will go off and tell me the things he is learning and I can't even BEGIN to comprehend how he memorizes it all--let alone passes all the tests! Glad it's you Hon, and not me!
Who does the laundry? I do-- Caleb is WAY too busy, and I have my own system that works for me. He will sometimes put in a load here or there to help me out, which I appreciate!

Who does the dishes? I do, not that it is my favorite thing in the world, but he always has lots of studying to do and this is my way of supporting him! He will help me clear the table after dinner though.
Who pays the bills? He does. He likes to do things all technological-like and "online" and I am more old-fashioned, so I let him do it, and I appreciate it!

What is your love song? "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan. We were standing (hugging) in Caleb's parent's basement one night, and this song came on the radio and I had the BIGGEST "de ja vu" I've EVER had!! It was like the sign I'd been praying for that dating/marrying Caleb was the right thing to do! He IS my angel!
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Ha ha! I just have to laugh because we have actually had "fights" about this! We both like the same side of the bed! I am currently sleeping on it-- the left side (if facing the bed). He's on the right side because it's closer to the bathroom and closet and Caleb usually gets up earlier than I do for school.
Who mows the lawn? If only we HAD a lawn--that would mean we were done with school and we actually had a house finally!!!

Who cooks dinner? I do, but Caleb is a pretty good cook and he will surprise me with dinner now and then, which is always a treat!

Who is more stubborn? We are both pretty stubborn, but since Caleb will often apologize first, I would have to say I am.

Who kissed who first? Caleb kissed me for the first time in April 2004 in the BYU-Idaho Botanical Gardens--(believe me, I'd been fantasizing about it for quite some time prior to that!)
Who asked who out? Caleb's brother, Jacob, and I actually had the class "Eternal Marriage" together at BYU-I and he set me up with his little brother who had just gotten home from his mission. So yes, it was a "blind date"--lol! (To think I nearly didn't go on that date...)
Who proposed? He did, on June 11th, 2004 on the top of Thunder Ridge Mountain overlooking Idaho Falls at sunset!
Who is more sensitive? I am for sure, but Caleb will cry in a touching movie here or there, and I love it!
Who has more friends? We both have A LOT of friends, for which we are so grateful, but if I had to choose, I would say that Caleb knows more people, but I am better at staying in touch.

Who has more siblings? He does--5 brothers to my one sister









Who wears the pants in the relationship?
He is definitely the head of our family, but we share the responsibilities.

Who gives more hugs? Kisses? He is probably a little more cuddly than I am, but I do LOVE to be hugged and kissed!! I make him too hot if I cuddle too much, though!

Yeah, thanks for doing this, Criscell! Can I get credit for being the one who tagged you? ;) It is so fun to read about you guys as a couple (since I hardly know Caleb at all) and see all those beautiful together pictures. My favorite was the kissing one from your wedding. Your bouquet was gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing. I love seeing into your life since you're so far away.
