The Man I Married!

Tag: All About George
The Man I Married

1. What is his name? George
2. Who eats more? George. :) But to look at us, you'd think I ate more!
3. Who said I love you first? George
4. Who is taller? George
5. Who is smarter? We both have our strengths, so I don't think either one of us is smarter than the other. We balance each other out.
6. Who is more sensitive? George
7. Who does the laundry? I do
8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Well, if we're facing the bed, then I'm on the right. It's just always been that way, though I'm not really sure why, now that I think about it.
9. Who pays the bills? George. I hate paying bills. I pay bills at work, and it's no fun there either.
10. Who cooks more? I do. But George loves to cook and spoils me when he gets off early and on the weekends!
11. What meals do you cook together? We don't work well in the kitchen. I turn the burner on 7 and he'll move it down to 6. I turn it up to 8 (to make a point) and he turns it back down to 2.
12. Who is more stubborn? I know this will shock some of you, but I'm more stubborn! Yes, the first step to recovery is admitting there's a problem. :o)
13. Who is the first to admit they’re wrong? Typically, George. I have my rare moments. But I really hate being in disagreements with George. I love him too much, so it hurts!
14. Who has more siblings? George does. Four sisters and one brother. I have two brothers.
15. Who wears the pants in the relationship? Um... somtimes me. I like to be in control. I have a red, type A personality. George is really laid back.
16. What do you like to do together? Watch movies in the dark when Madeleine's asleep, lay in bed and talk and laugh (that's my favorite!), discuss our future, take Madeleine to the park, play dominoes, and just be around each other.
17. Who eats more sweets? That's a toss-up. We're really trying to lose weight, so we're being good right now.
18. Guilty pleasures? Cranking the music up really loud on our stereo system. It could be Mo-Tab and we like to crank it!!
19. How did you meet? I first saw him in the singles ward after I was baptized. I pointed to him and mentioned to my friend LeeAnn that he was a guy I could never date (he was wearing this ridiculous fishing hat!). Then several months later, after seeing how he interacted with others, seeing how compassionate he is, I realized I really liked him. My friends in the singles ward would finagle our seating arrangements at firesides to where I was sitting right next to George. Our first date, I met his entire family (stressful!!). We were sealed in the Spokane Temple 8 months later. :)
20. When did you fall in love with him? When I realized I liked him. :)
21. Who has changed the most since you married? I have. George has made me more sensitive and accepting of people and their needs.
22. Who proposed? George did, but a friend (LeeAnn) of mine (LeeAnn) told me when (LeeAnn) George was going (LeeAnn) to propose, but I (LeeAnn) won't mention any (LeeAnn) names! She even drew my ring on the bathroom mirror, so I knew what it looked like!
23. His best features? His eyes and his smile put up a good fight for each other! I love both!
24. What is his greatest quality? George has this inherent need to help everyone. He is so compassionate and doesn't leave anyone in need. He's also a very loving, sacrificing husband and father. He's so obedient to the Lord and close to the Spirit. And he melts when he's around Grandma Leppert and Grandma Heath! What's not cute about that?!

I am going to leave this open and tag anyone who wants to tell the world about their wonderful husband!
