Tag back Man Tag

So I guess I deserve to be tagged back since I started it. We'll see if mom actually does it.
I took this tag from my friend Holly. I thought it was really cute and fun things to know.

How long have you been married? We have been married for just over 5 years. I can't believe it has been that long. And then sometimes it feels like we've been together forever.
How long did you date? We dated for a month and a half, then we were engaged for 2 1/2 months followed by our wedding with a dual reception. My sister Corin was married the day before us and we did the reception together. We had a really good turn out.
Who eats more sweets? Definitely me. I don't know why I can't keep my hands off that stuff. Doug really does care about the sweets. He is all about the regular food. I wish I didn't want the sweets as much as I do.
Who said I love you first? He did. He told me that he used to go home at night and think, "I say I Love You all the time and she just looks at me." I guess I had a hard time saying it and didn't want to say it until it was true.
How old is he? He is 26 and I'm 24.
Who is taller? He is. I always thought it would be weird if I would have married someone shorter than me. Thankfully I did not.
Who is smarter? He is. He laughs at me all the time because I am like my mother. I can be very forgetful and hard of hearing sometimes. Its not my fault. I was born this way. I hate that part about me. The schooling I've had does not mean a whole lot right now. I can't remember most of it. Not to bash on my mom though. She has many more good things about her than bad. I love her.
Who can sing better? I think I can though Doug can hold a note.
Who does the laundry? I do most definitely. He helps out around the house every once and a while but will almost never do the laundry or the dishes.
Who pays the bills? We both do but he has more control over the finances.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do.
Who mows the lawn? He does. I have no desire to mow the lawn.
Who cooks dinner? I do. Almost everytime he cooks dinner it is roman noodles.
Who drives? Unless he is sick or super tired he does.
Who is more stubborn? He is, He Is, HE IS. When we fight it is usually me that just gives in and takes the blame. I feel like it is always me in trouble because of it. He very good at talking himself out of trouble.
Who kissed who first? He kissed me first but it was really awkward. I had a hard time with all of that stuff. It wasn't the greatest kiss too, though we have forever to work on it. It has gotten way better.
Who asked who out? Our first date was a blind date. Doug says that I absolutely was not happy when I saw him and I really didn't talk to him much through the date. I remember I told Corin after the date that I did not like guys with red hair and freckles. That obviously changed.
Who proposed? He did. He asked me a couple weeks before hand to make sure that I would say yes though. So I knew it was coming. He could have tryed a little hard to make the proposal a bit more interesting.
Who has more siblings? He does. There are 8 children in his family and 5 in mine.
Who wheres the pants? He does. I am getting better at letting my voice be heard.

So much has changed in these five years that we have been married. We have a wonderful life with the greatest kids ever. He really works hard to take care of his family and is the best dad. The kids play and jump on him almost ever other day. He still makes me laugh all the time and knows something to say about ever subject. He is a great person and I love him so much.

This is the most recent picture of us together. We look huge because of the humongous and thick, may I add, snow suits :). This is during our anniversary festivities.
