true love

this last week we've been playing a game- its called "what were we doing a year ago right now?" one person says it and the other person has to remeber as fast as they can. why do we play this game? because this week last year was the week we got married! (yes wedding festivities went on for a whole week) tomorrow is our one year anniversary! its been the longest week of my life because i've known for a while that he was planning something this weekend and i wasn't allowed to know until he told me about it a little bit ago- so now i am packing for our little trip this weekend! i'll keep y'all in the dark til we get back.....

to continue with the game.... a year ago right now we were just getting out of a temple session with our families and getting ready to eat dinner at hotel nauvoo- so much fun and so so so yummy!

this was after dinner....

and just because i like talking about him- here's some info:

1. what is his name? jospeh william brewer he's such a stud

2. how long did you date? friends for a long time, best friends for 5 ish months, dated 5 weeks.... engaged 5 months

just after we decided to get married!

3. how long have you been married? one year tomorrow!
4. who eats more sweets? not sure... it could be a tie, but i probably do
5. who said I love you first? he did
6. who is taller? he is
7. who is a better singer? he definitely is- just come over and listen to him shower on sunday mornings and sing hymns in samoan- you will agree.

8. who is smarter? i probably have better grades, but i think he knows more than me.
9. who does the laundry? i mostly do it, but he helps, and will do it if he needs something. and he will usually refold his socks.
10. who pays the bills? we share. he does more though. and he makes the money to pay them
11. who sleeps on the right side of the bed? looking at the bed, i sleep on the right. laying in bed he sleeps on the right.
12. who mows the lawn? we haven't gotten a chance to mow our 2 ft. by 5 ft. patch- we left before the ground had thawed out. but he was in charge of finding someone to do it for us for the summer. he probably will be the one to do it though- i somehow got skipped growing up and have never actually used a lawn mower or even a weekwacker. i am not sure how this happened because i did a lot of yard work, but no one ever bothered to ask me to mow the lawn. because everyone else liked it? most likely because i am a klutz and am not allowed to handle power tools...
13. who cooks dinner? me most of the time. he helps sometimes, and will do any grilling. he likes to make breakfast though- he's pro

14. who drives? he usually does- it just depends.

everytime he drives, he opens my door. everytime he opens my door, he gets a kiss. everytime

15. who is more stubborn? i probably am.

16. who kissed who first? he kissed me. it was awkward. there were no sparks.

awkward.... not. but i like it

17. who asked who out? we just decided to go out. kinda. he was supposed to take someone to see a show, and she backed out last minute, and he was telling me about it. i had a ticket to the same show but later, but decided i would rather go with him instead of the people i had tickets with. so we went. and then we decided that we would "try" dating for two weeks for a marriage class he was in. loooong story behind that.

we went on lotsa dates

18. who is more sensitive? tough call- but he probably is- he will actually cry during a movie.
19. who has more siblings? the same- we are both the middle child of five, and we both have two brothers and two sisters
20. who wears the pants? he actually prefers his lava-lava.
