Just for Fun: The Two of US

Two of my favorite bloggers (Diary of a Southern Belle and Tales of a Short Southern Mama) have recently filled out this little survey, and I'm jumping on the bandwagon!

1. What are your middle names? Danielle and Man Kai

2. How long have you been together? We met through eHarmony. We were matched on June 28, 2006.

3. How long did you know each other before you started dating? We were serious about each other right away, so perhaps the best way to answer this question is to say we met in person about four months after being "matched."

4. Who asked who out? He initiated contact.

5. How old are each of you? I'm 28, and my husband is 35.

6. Did you go to the same school? Nope. He grew up in Hong Kong and moved to Canada when he was 14. I was born and raised in Kentucky.

7. Are you from the same hometown? See above.

8. Who is the smartest? I would say we're equally matched. He takes care of math and science and I cover the humanities.

9. Who majored in what? My husband was trained as a pharmacist and then studied biophysics. I've always studied English.

10. Who is the most sensitive? I'd say we're equally matched here, too, though I am the more visibly emotional one.

11. Where is the farthest you two have traveled together as a couple? We drove across the country from Kentucky to Washington a few days after our wedding.

12. Who has the worst temper? Neither of us has a terrible temper, but I show mine more frequently.

13. How many children do you want? One or two.

14. Who does the cooking? We both do, but he cooks with more ease and confidence.

15. Who is more social? He is.

16. Who is the neat freak? We both have neat freak moments, but they're just that... moments.

17. Who is the most stubborn? I'd say we're equal here, too, but I will actually admit that I'm stubborn. We both lived on our own without roommates, so we're each used to doing things our own way.

18. Who wakes up earlier? I don't sleep well, so I do. Once he's awake, though, he'll stay awake all day. I'm a napper.

19. Where was your first date? Let's see... sometime in mid-October of 2006.

20. Who has the bigger family? We both have one sibling. My extended family is larger, though.

21. Do you get flowers often? If I buy them for myself!

22. How do you spend the holidays? This will be our first married holiday season! We're staying home for Thanksgiving, going to my parents' for Christmas, and then making short trip to see his sister and her family in Canada before the New Year.

23. Who is more jealous? Me.

24. How long did it take to get serious? We were always serious. Neither of us wanted to play games.

25. Who eats more? He eats more at meals, but I like to snack. He also eats a much greater variety of foods than I do.

26. What do you do for a living? I'm a Ph.D. student and he's a professor (He was never my professor, though. That would be creepy.)

27. Who does the laundry? We both do.

28. Who's better with the computer? He's great at technical things, but I'm better at finding things on the internet.

29. Who drives when you are together? We're a one car family and I take him to work and pick him up everyday. When we're going places together, though, he drives.

30. What is your song? This Will Be (An Everlasting Love). It's the eHarmony song. Get it? : )
