Husband Tagging - How did I get ropped into this one?

1. What is his name?
Stephen Louis Russo... I really have always loved his name. Enough that I named my first son after him and then I was thrilled when Stephen and Alesha named their son after him. Although at times it has been really confusing at the post office. I also have to confess how much I love my grandson's nick name, Tripp.
2. How long have you been married?
We got married March 7, 1980, so I guess that would be 28 years in March.
3. How long did you date?
Well, our first date was Oct. 3rd and we were engaged at the end of November and married in March, what is that 4 months or so?
4. Who eats more? Definately Steve unless it's candy or sweets and definately I can pack that away more than he does.
5. Who said 'I love you' first?
Are you kidding, I can't remember that far back. It just happened, I don't really remember the words as much as the feelings. I think it was at the Falls by the Idaho temple, but I can't rememer if the actual words were said.
6. Who sings better?
I hate to even say that I do because he probably has a better voice but I am the only one that can read the music.
7. Who is taller?
Ummmm..... everyone is taller than I am :-)
8. Whose temper is worse? Wow that is a good guestion. I get pretty upset when my switch is flipped, but Steve probably flips quicker and harder than I do. He is mellowing in his old age though. Once when we were younger he put a hole through the pantry door. And the funniest time is when he flipped the whole couch over. Like I said, age mellows us.
9. Who does the laundry?
Definately I do unless I insist on his helping. Every once in a while if I am gone or something he will do it all from start to finish.
10. Who does the dishes?
We share this one but I am much better at seeing what needs to be done quicker. But he frequently surprises me when I get home after being gone and he has done it all.
11. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
I do, it is closer to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
12. Who does the cooking?
Unless we are having steak on the grill, I do.
13. Who is more stubborn?
Probably me.
14. Who proposed?
He did at the Falls at the Temple in Idaho. But we went to pick out the ring together.
16. Whose parents do you see the most?
Since his are gone, I would have to say mine :-) But don't ask him who we saw most when they were still alive because we have differing opinions on that one.
17. Who pays the bills?
I did for years and then about 10 years ago I just handed it all back to him and didn't ever look back. It was a liberating thing to do.
18. Who wears the pants in the family?
I don't know, I would like to say me but I think we both have a leg in! Ditto Alesha!
19. Why do you love your husband?
Wow, what a question! Because we are attracted to one another. We love hard and fight hard. I have been in situations during the last 27 years when we both could easily have walked away and yet we both made a concious choice to stay together. He is extremely loyal. He is one of the most caring men you will ever find behind the matter of factness he puts on his face. You won't find anyone that serves with such a big heart. He has a way of taking care of things that I am not capable of both physically and emotionally, I don't know what I would do without him and I never ever want to find out!
Now I tag Penny and Erin.
