Conformity

I'm not feeling very creative at the moment, and these kinds of things amuse me, so if you read my blog you'll just need to deal with it. :-P

♥ What are your middle names? Elizabeth and Carey. Sounds like the name of an actress.

♥ How long have you been together? 2 years 7 months of dating, 14 month engagement, 7 months of marriage.

♥ How long did you know each other before you started dating? We met early on in my freshman year and started dating in October of my sophomore year, but we didn't really start getting to know each other until spring of my freshman year.

♥ Who asked who out? Ha. He asked me out, after I told him he'd better fish or cut bait, if you know what I mean! :-)

♥ How old are each of you? 24 and 22.

♥ Whose siblings do/ did you see the most? It's fairly even, I think, because we live so far away from mine but his are both away at school. I imagine that will change this summer when his brother (and sister?) are home from school... but I also hope my brothers will come visit a lot, so we'll see.

♥ Do you have any children together? Nope, and no plans to, either.

♥ What about pets? If by "pet" you mean "evil incarnate" then yes. One.

♥ Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple? Right now we're trying to get out of debt (student loans), and that's really stressful.

♥ Did you go to the same school? Furman - Go Paladins!

♥ Are you from the same home town? Nope.

♥ Who is the smartest? Honestly, I think Matt is. I know, I know. You're all very surprised.

♥ Who is the most sensitive? Definitely me.

♥ Where do you eat out most as a couple? Red Lobster, Cheesecake Factory, Five Guys. Working on cutting back on eating out in general, though.

♥ Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? The furthest? Hmmm. I think that's Budapest.

♥ Who has the craziest exes? Me, without a doubt. His are all relatively normal. My track record is not great.

♥ Who has the worst temper? We both have pretty short tempers.

♥ Who does the cooking? Matt did at first, because I was scared. But now that we are on this diet, I'm definitely doing most of it.

♥ Who is more social? We were both social in college, though we've become rather reclusive since we moved up here... I think Matt was more popular though. :-P

♥Who is the neat Freak? Well. Let us get all the way unpacked before we even have a prayer of figuring that out.

♥ Who is the more stubborn? We are both very stubborn.

♥ Who hogs the bed? I do -- and the covers!

♥ Who wakes up earlier? Matt does, but only because he has to.

♥ Where was your first date? Steak 'n' Shake... Only some will understand. :-P

♥ Who has the bigger family? He might, by a little bit. But both are really big.

♥ Do you get flowers often? Not really.

♥ How do you spend the holidays? We're still working that out, but we will mostly alternate (as evenly as possible) between families.

♥ Who snores louder? Matt.

♥ Who goes to bed first? We try to go to bed together, but Matt is always asleep before I am.

♥ Who is more jealous? I am.

♥ How long did it take to get serious? We were dating pretty seriously fairly early on, because we knew he was going to be going back up to MD like a month after we started dating, so we made the decision then that if we were going to stay together, we weren't going to half-ass it. And here we are. :)

♥ Who eats more? We eat about the same size meals, but he snacks more, generally.

♥ Who does/ did the laundry? I do.

♥ Who’s better with the computer? He is. I'm good with what I need to know, but he is way more computer-savvy.

♥ Who drives when you are together? He does.
