♥ Whose siblings do/did you see the most? Mine.

♥ Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple? Good question, but with no real answer. This year has been difficult. Next year will make up for it. Our life together is well balanced, so it is not easy to pick out one situation.
♥ Did you go to the same school? University.
♥ Are you from the same home town? No.
♥ Who is the smartest? Me. Except when it's him. We are pretty evenly matched, but he gets to use his brain more often, so he sounds smarter. I know more.
♥ Who is the most sensitive? Me.
♥ Where do you eat out most as a couple? We never eat out as a couple. Give us a few more years. Right now our favorite restaurant is the Mexican place down the road. In a few months we will go back to our favorite Thai place and be truly happy.
♥ Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? We have been around the world together. Lucky us!

♥ Who does the cooking? Stay out of my kitchen.
♥ Who is more social? Me. Which is sad. If we could, we would almost never choose to be out with people other than ourselves

♥ Who hogs the bed? I take more space, he takes more covers.
♥ Who wakes up earlier? This year, me. Most years, him.
♥ Where was your first date? We went to see "L.A. Story" in 1991. We walked to the theater, about two miles each way, in February. No hand holding on the way there, hand holding on the way back. I still really like the movie.

♥ What is "your song"? Tracy Chapman "At This Point in My Life" comes the closest, in that we both stop whatever we are doing to listen when it comes on.
