Lover & Best friend

After reading a blog that I follow.. DOOCE....
She had a post about trivial questions about your marriage... So I decided to try it myself...

What are your middle names?
Mine is Denise and Dan's is Daniel.. A better question for us would have been what are your first names, since we both go by our middle names.. So, my first name is Catherine and Dan's is Jonathan

How long have you been together?
We have been together for 12 1/2 yrs, and we have been married for almost 9 yrs.

Who asked whom out?
It was just kinda mutual... We were best friends before there was ever a romantic relationship.

Who is smarter?
Dan is smarter.. He would kick my butt in any Trivia game.

It's almost a tie.. But I won't say who the winner is... lol

I think that we both do.. I love to throw things and slam doors... and Dan likes to use words.. LOUDLY ..

Who does the cooking?
That's about a tie also.. I like to cook a lot of Southern dishes that I grew up eating, and Dan likes to try out new recipes...

Who is the neat-freak?
Oh.. God... my husband is the neat freak.. You can tell just by looking at our bedroom.. His side compared to mine..

I think I have some of that Southern Stubboen that DOOCE mentions, but I'm also a Taurus...poor Dan...

Neither of us.. our 2 little dogs do.. and I'm talkin our Yorkie is 12 lbs. and our Jackie Bichon is all of maybe 8 lbs.

Who wakes up earlier?
Dan always gets up earlier when neither of us really have to.. Otherwise on work days.. I do.. The babies start getting here at 5:30am
