My sweet Marko

So I've been tagged and I'm going to share, much to Mark's delight I'm sure, some great things about my absolutely wonderful, fantastic, amazing husband.

What's his name? As I call him, Marko.
How long have you been together? Almost 5 1/2 years! That's craziness!!

How long did you date? We dated for about 4 months but engagment was a looong 9 months.
How old is he? I think he would rather me not say. He's kind of going through a very, way too early mid-life crisis.

Who eats more? Usually him, but when it's something good like chocolate or junk food, I can totally beat him out.

Who said I love you first? He did. Haha, funny story... I knew it was coming soon and was petrified of the words. I talked to my best bud Mary about it and we came up with the solution of me saying "thanks" after he said it. That's exactly what I did but followed it up with the big words a few weeks later.

Who is taller? He was just barely taller than me when we met but he's a lot taller than me now. So either he's still growing or I'm shrinking (please no).

Who can sing better? Ha. Mark CAN'T sing. Can carry no tune whatsoever. The stake president's wife heard a rumor a little while ago that he could sing and asked him to sing in sacrament meeting. He politely declined and we laughed really hard after.
Who is smarter? Definetly Marko. He doesn't take credit for his smarts, but he is soo smart!

Who does the laundry? Mostly me. I actually prefer to do it because he'll often wash and dry earrings, money, credit cards, and more. Okay, little overexaggeration, but I really don't like him to do it.

Who pays the bills? Mostly me except when there has to be arguing or coercing involved with whoever. Mark is really good at that unlike me.

Who sleeps on the right side? Do you mean who sleeps in the middle because that would be me. Poor Mark gets less than half of the bed and blankets. I guess I'm pretty mean in my sleep. He says I have an iron grip because when I get a hold of the blankets, he's not getting them back.

Who mows the lawn? Neither of us but if we did have a lawn to mow, he would insist that it was his job. He is quite the gentleman.

Who cooks the dinner? Usually me, but when really super extra lazy, he'll cook something.

Who drives? I hate driving, he does all the driving.

Who is more stubborn? That's a hard one... when we were first married, it was for sure me. But I've totally rubbed off on him and when he wants something, he gets it. He knows how to get what he wants from me. He says he learned to be stubborn from the best (as in me).

Who kissed who first? He kissed me first.

Who asked who out first? Mark saw me at church, forgot my name, and called my house asking for Sarah and hoping that was my name. We went on a double date with his little bro and my best bud, Mary. Their date didn't go so well, but Mark and I were hooked from then on.

Who proposed? Marko. That would be a little weird if I did.
(This picture is awesome-- this is the exact spot he proposed but about 4 or 5 years later. We were eating beignets with lots of powdered sugar and I blew powdered sugar all over his face right before he was about to call a truce.)

Who has more friends? Oh, I dunno. We don't really have separate friends. We all have the same friends.

Who is more sensitive? We're sensitive about different things.

Who has more siblings? Marko does, he beats my family by 1.

Who wears the pants? I don't really know... we're very equal and talk out every decision together.

Thank you to sweet Mark for an AMAZING 5 1/2 years! I didn't know I would ever be soo happy! He is my perfect match! Love, love, love you!

I tag: Nic, Shmarah, Mistie

I've decided it is true love when your husband lets you get away with 1/2 of the bed or more every night. I liked that post.

That is so funny, Leah... I laughed all through this. I can't decide which were my favorite answers, but I just love your personality so much that I love to hear you describe things! You are a fun girl, Leah... and Mark is lucky to have you! P.S. I LOVE your wedding picture. Beautiful.
