Two of the bloggers I read did this a few days ago and I thought it would be kind of fun to do too. Thanks to Heather and Linda for posting!
What are your middle names?
Mine is Marie, his is Robert.
How long have you been together?
Since July of 2007.
How long did you know each other before you started dating?
We met in February of 2004.
Who asked whom out?
Andrew did. He never really "asked me out", but since we'd known each other for so long and we both knew we liked each other he just went ahead and kissed me. Or tried to. That was in September of 2007 and when he tried I sort of said no although he knew I really wanted to so just went ahead and did it. I was really nervous because I had never been kissed before, shameful to admit, but true. We were even closer after that and eventually in July 2008 he tried again. I wasn't stupid that time and went with it. I wish he would have tried again sooner, but alas.
How old are each of you?
I will be 23 in 11 days and Andrew will be 23 in October.
Whose siblings do you see the most?
Andrew's brother since I am an only child.
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
School. We only get to see each other on the weekends and when Andrew surprises me and comes down for a visit.
Did you go to the same school?
No, unfortunately. Even though in the long run being apart has taught us how to work through many things which I suppose is good in the long run. Our schools are 65 miles apart, so it has been very, very difficult at times, but we only have a few months left.
Are you from the same home town?
No. Andrew was brought up in Federal Way and I still live in Maple Valley, about 20 miles away.
Who is smarter?
Definitely Andrew. He is the hard worker in school and really tries where I just do enough to get by. He is always reading and truly has an interest in what he's learning. I'm just here for the really expensive piece of paper.
Who is the most sensitive?
Hmmm, probably me. Although both our feelings get hurt very easily. I tend to take things more personally than he does I suppose.
Where do you eat out most as a couple?
Red Robin! I love that place! And it's about a quarter mile from the movie theater we go to so that helps!
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Philadelphia, NYC and Washington D.C last summer.
Who has the craziest exes?
I'm a tad embarrassed to admit that I don't have any so I'm just going to go ahead and say Andrew.
Who has the worst temper?
That would definitely be me. I tend to get mad easily and give "the look" easier than I get mad.
Who does the cooking?
We both do. Andrew always tries to help when I'm cooking. I like to be a little more inventive sometimes and get tired of eating the same stuff so he is always supportive when I'm preparing something a bit out of the usual.
Who is the neat-freak?
That would also be me about things in the house, Andrew about cars. His car is always tidy and clean while mine generally always needs to be washed. I am a neat freak about things like laundry being put away, the bed made and that sort of thing. I can't stand clutter.
Who is more stubborn?
Hmmm, I'm going to have to say me again. When I have my mind set on something I generally make sure I get it. Andrew is quite a bit more easy going that I am and luckily, tolerates me.
Who hogs the bed?
Neither. We sleep really close together so generally use a small portion of the bed.
Who wakes up earlier?
Usually me. Andrew claims that he needs a full 8 or more hours of sleep every night where I'm good with 6.
Where was your first date?
Hmmm, I guess we haven't had any "real" dates. We usually just plan something. It's not like we ask each other out on dates. I guess it would be to a Mariners game about 12 days after we started "dating". I use "dating" loosely because it's never really felt like that to me. It seems like it's just always been us and we've always been together.
Who is more jealous?
Probably me again (this thing isn't making me come off too good, is it?). I tend to always have this thought in the back of my mind that Andrew is going to find someone better than me to be with. I also hate it that he has had a few girlfriends before me and he is my only boyfriend. That thought drives me up the wall.
How long did it take to get serious?
Not long at all. I've known since before he tried to kiss me for the first time that he would be the one I will marry. I think that's why the terms "dating" and "boyfriend" bug me. It's always seemed so easy and natural. Like the whole time we've known each other was the dating period. Since we actually started dating it's like it's just leading up to getting married. I know I'm not explaining it well at all, I just don't know how to fully put into words what I feel for him.
Who eats more?
He usually eats more during a meal, but I’m the one who snacks pretty much all night long.
Who does the laundry?
I usually put the clothes in the washer and get them started and all that and Andrew will help me fold and put things in the dryer.
Who’s better with the computer?
He is better with all the technical stuff, but I am the one who does more online like blogging and Twitter and all that although he does have a Twitter account now too!
And it's over. I feel like I haven't even somewhat given you a glimpse of who we really are, how great my love for him is and what our relationship consists of. I guess this is better than nothing, I just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea from just these questions. Then again, I have all of about 3 readers, so am not overly worried about it.
If you feel so inclined, feel free to this for you and your significant other!

25 Things
This has been going around for a while now and I'm going to follow the leads of the lovely EmilyPie, the lovely Katie from La Petite Chic, the lovely Colleen from See Sherm Blog and lastly the lovely Carmen from Mom to the Screaming Masses.
So lets see, pretty much I'm just supposed to list 25 interesting or weird facts about myself. To be honest, by the time I get to the end of this it will probably be just the odd things I can come up with! If you'd like to play along just go ahead and come up with your own 25 things!
1. My middle name is Marie. I really don't like it at all.
2. I love to rearrange furniture. I actually just rearranged my room this afternoon.
3. I really enjoy cooking and trying new recipes.
4. Fortunately I have someone willing to try everything I make and tell me how good it is even though it may not be!
5. I have a wonderful boyfriend (see #4).
6. I love animals especially dogs and horses.
7. I got the gift I had been lusting after for over a year for Christmas last year.
8. The gift? A Nikon D60.
9. I am not too good with it yet, but got some books to learn from.
10. Sometimes I really wonder why I started a blog.
11. There are times that I have absolutely no idea what to write about and frequently doubt that anyone cares.
12. That being said, I still attempt to write and truly enjoy reading other people's posts.
13. I'm attempting to do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred.
14. Andrew and I are planning a trip to Hawaii in June!
15. I am graduating from college on May 9th with a degree in Business Administration.
16. I'm a little worried about finding a job in this economy. Okay, worried quite a bit.
17. Andrew and I hope to buy a house soon. I'm super excited about that!
18. I'm in the process of training my very own filly. Guess she's not a filly anymore since she's almost 3.
19. I will turn 23 in 22 days. Crazy how time has flown by.
20. I have a goal to lose 25 pounds by the time we leave for Hawaii.
21. I've even gone so far as to get a bikini for motivation!
22. I love romance. Candles, music, all that stuff.
23. I love to read.
24. I am so incredibly excited to be Mrs. Andrew _____. July 23, 2011!

Post 96: Drawing at post 100 open to anyone who leaves a comment with a valid email address (only so I can email you if you win) for a $10 Starbucks giftcard.
Good Morning! One of the blogs I always read is So the Fish Said written by Beth. Her blog is written well and generally very funny and quite honestly I get a kick out of reading about her days with her kids. Today when her post came up on my reader I opened it and was surprised to find a meme of sorts. Yesterday she said that the first 10 people who commented on her post would be sent interview questions. Since there were way over 10 by the time I read, I didn't comment. So today she took pity on all of us who came after the first 10 posts and posted questions for everyone.
So, as she directed, I'm posting the rules:
The rules:
1. Leave me a comment saying you want to be interviewed. (I'll take the first ten or so.)
2. I'll email you five questions of my choosing.
3. You update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. They will answer these questions. If they don't, you can post naked pictures of them on the internet. (I can help with the Photoshopping.)
Here are the questions and my answers:
1. Remember the movie Brewster's Millions? That happens to you, except on a smaller scale. You receive a million dollars that you must spend in 30 days. However, you cannot have any assets to show for the money at the end of the month (and you can't buy something and then destroy it), you cannot waste the money, you cannot give it away, and you cannot tell anyone what you are doing. How do you ditch the dough in a month or less?
I've actually never seen it, or heard it to be honest. Am I missing something good? Should I rent it?
2. You are locked in a toy store overnight, with no way out until it reopens in the morning. What do you play with all night?
Hmmm, I'd probably start with the play dough. It's just fun to play with! Then move on to anything big and electric, you know like the ride in jeeps or something like that. Not that I'd be able to fit in it, but you know. Let's see, after that maybe some of the video game things. Are there even video games in a toy store? I haven't been in one in years. I actually can't remember that last time.
3. If you could have a dinner party with any three famous people, living or dead, you would be wasting your supernatural powers on hosting dinner parties. What would you do instead?
First, I'll have to pick the people. Let's see...I think I'm going to go with just some famous everyday people: Jennifer Aniston, Jillian Michaels and George Strait. Why these people? Jennifer Aniston because I absolutely adore her and she's my favorite actress. Jillian Michaels because I started the 30 Day Shread yesterday (I'll talk about it tomorrow) and she's kicking my ass. George Strait because my mom loves him and I know she would just die if she was able to meet him.
4. What's the best thing since sliced bread? Now, sliced bread ain't all that impressive, so what's the best mediocre, hum-drum improvement or advancement that has made modern life just ever so slightly more convenient for humanity, along the lines of saving yourself five seconds every time you want a piece of bread.
I'm going to go techy on you: my blackberry. I love it. I love being able to get my email RIGHTNOW rather than waiting until I'm back at my computer. I love being able to send Andrew an email right when I want. I love having the games for something to do when I'm waiting for class, stuck in traffic and all that. It's just so convenient!
5. What's your best quality? The response to this question must be a simple declarative statement. You may elaborate on that statement, provided that your elaboration does not include the words "but," "however," or "although," or any other hedging, equivocating, back-sliding, gerrymandering (which is not at all appropriate in this context, but I think it should be, don't you?) or any other type of backing down from the simple declarative statement with which you began your response.
Gosh, my best quality. Without any backtracking? Sheesh. I don't know. I guess just being genuinely thoughtful. I enjoy doing things for people to make them happy or help them out. For instance, when it's Andrew's finals week, I send him a big padded envelope full of things to wish him luck: lucky boxers to wear on the day of his most difficult exam, some chocolate, a bag of sour patch kids (his favorite candy), a card, some powdered straws to put in his water to give them some flavor, and a few other miscellaneous things. I usually send him a card every week or so up at school, just to give him something to smile about that day. And if we'd done anything recently and I'd had pictures printed I include some of those. I just like to do special things for people when I know they need and appreciate them.
Okay, you're turn...leave me a comment (first you'll be put into the drawing and second you'll get some questions!).
