Husband Tag.....

I always thoguht these things were cheesy, but I did it. Thanks for the tag Katie. Ok, here we go......

1. What is his name? Russell David White
2. Who eats more? I would have to say Russ but not by much which is sad to say because he can consume quite a bit.
3. Who said “I love you” first? Russ did. It was about three or four months after we were dating and we were at my house when I lived up by the U. I was saying goodbye to him at the front door and he just gave me this cute look and said “I love you”. I didn’t know what to say back so I said “thanks!” Russ was like…ummmmmm, thanks???? I knew I loved him, but I was too scared to say it back I think it was a couple of months later that I finally said it. Love you babe!
4. Who is taller? Russ definitely is, not that it’s hard to be taller than me. I am about 5’4 ½” (yes that ½ is important!) Russ is almost 6’2”. I think that is a perfect height.
5. Who is smarter? Russ is one of those people who are just naturally smart. Learning just comes easy to him. I think his teacher wanted him to skip third grade or something because he was too bored with what he was learning, he didn’t though. He is weird with numbers. He can add, subtract, multiply, or divide anything in his head. He can read a book faster than anyone I know. However, he has such the fun crazy personality he has a hard time applying himself. I think he kind of screwed around in high school, but now he is like hardcore school man and studies his bum off. I on the other hand always got good grades but I had to work at them. I definitely could apply myself and take the time to learn, but it doesn’t come as easy to me. I also think I am more rational with stuff. So overall I think we are both smart just in different ways.
6. Who is more sensitive? This is a hard one….we are both SO sensitive. We both get our feelings hurt easily. I love that Russ is sensitive, I think it makes him a better husband, because he understands where I am coming from. However, I tend to be a little too sensitive at times I have to admit. One thing that bothers me though is that I have never seen Russ cry. He got a LITTLE teary eyed when we got married but that is IT! I don’t know why I want to see him cry, I know that sounds so cruel, but I really want to see it. I have thought…what can I do to get him to cry that wouldn’t be that messed up but that would get some tears going and seriously nothing works! Oh well, I am sure one of these days I will eventually see it.
7. Who does the laundry? Well…..according to Russ he does ALL the laundry ALL the time. However, this is what he considerers doing the laundry. He will wash it and occasionally remember to put it in the dryer and that is it. He will not fold or put it away. We have a little system, he washes and I fold. Folding takes so long!!!!! I hate it. But I do have to admit that when Russ does help fold I don’t really like it cause he doesn’t fold things the way I like it, I know, I sound like Hitler.
8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you are laying in bed I am on the right side but if you are looking at the bed I am on the left side. Anyways, Russ had to have his side, I didn’t really care. We have a door in our room that leads out to the back of our house and I am closest to it! I told him that it was rude he would make me sleep closest to the door
9. Who pays the bills? I do. Occasionally Russ will pay his cell phone bill.
10. Who cooks more? Sad to say we don’t really cook that often. I would say me though. However, Russ has one signature dish……chick teriyaki and rice….oh, and he knows how to make a mean Totinos pizza.
11. Who is more stubborn? Me…..Russ is so laid back and easy going. I can be a stubborn mule sometimes.
12. Who is first to admit they are wrong? Me……I really will admit when I am wrong. Russ NEVER admits when he is wrong…ahhhh, so frustrating!
13. Who has more siblings? Russ does….there are 3 girls and 1 boy in my family. Russ’s family has 4 boys and 1 girl.
14. Who wears the pants in the relationship? Ummmmm……I would have to say me. I just goes back to the whole stubborn thing. I am like my dad. However, I think we always listen to each other and make equal decisions.
15. What do you like to do together? We are kind of lazy….we like to sleep in, go to the late movies, spend time with our families and friends, go to sporting games together, watch sports center, we are obsessed with American Idol and So You Think You can Dance, go hot tubing, do the elliptical machine together, pretty much anytime we are together we are having fun (I know that sounds so cheesy but it’s true).
16. Who eats more sweets? Probably Russ…..he loves the weirdest candy. Zours, Circus Peanuts, the sour chewy strips (I don’t know what they are called), and the Nerd ropes just to name a few. He can also eat a whole box of Fruit by the Foot from Costco in a matter of hours. I am more of a salty person.
17. Who asked out whom first? Well this is a complicated question. We kind of hung out when I was still in high school but we really didn’t go on official dates. When we started dating when he got back from his mission I asked him to go to a Jazz game, but just as a friend, so technically it was me.
18. How did you meet? We met at one of my friends houses one night when I was in high school. However, he was friends with my sister Natalee so I knew of him before I met him, but that was the first official night we met. We ended up going camping and cuddling all night.
19. Who kissed who first? Russ did….it took him forever though. I could tell he was nervous, it was cute!
20. Who proposed? Russ did…..he actually proposed at the park on the bench where we had our first kiss. It was absolutely perfect! He had a million flowers and candles everywhere. And to both our surprise our families were hiding in the bushes the whole time. It was actually fun to have them there.
21. His best features? His long perfect women legs! It’s not fair, he has the best legs. They are not super skinny, they are just nice and shapely. He also has great hair, he will never go bald. I also love his eyes, they are just so warm.
22. What is his greatest quality? There are just too many……..he is kind, loyal, forgiving, smart, strong in the gospel, and he always makes me happy!
23. What is his worst quality? Unfortunately he is a BYU fan. (I added this question, he he)
24. Tag? I tag Natalee and anyone else who wants to!
