Joe and I

This was a Facebook note but I look putting these sorts of things on here better.

♥ What are your middle names?
Vincent and Lynn

♥How long have you been together?
Since May 17th. 5 months.

♥ How long did you know each other before you started dating?
about 3 years

♥ Who asked who out?
He asked me - showed up at my door the day after I graduated and said it was me he was supposed to be with. I'm still not sure it was ever really a question ;)

♥ How old are each of you?
23

♥ Did you go to the same school?
Same college - Mizzou!

♥ Are you from the same home town?
grew up about 10 minutes from each other, he went to Lindbergh I went to Affton (translation... he went to the snobby rich public school and I went to A-town the poor public school)

♥ Who is the smartest?
He says me and I say him. He's a very smart guy, I have to try a lot harder.

♥ Who is the most sensitive?
Him I think. I'm kind of a tough person, but I am sensitive at times.

♥ Where do you eat out most as a couple?
HAHA! Where don't we eat out? Well we eat at work a lot. But if we go out, CiCi's or Sycamore, if we order in Pickelman's or Imo's.

♥ Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
LeMars, Iowa to get our puppy Memphis :)

♥ Who has the worst temper?
definitely Joe.

♥ Who does the cooking?
we both do, he's a better cook but I'm trying to learn!

♥ Who is more social?
that's me. i love my friends and family.

♥ Who is the neat-freak?
Guilty again. He calls me Monica (from Friends) and is convinced I have OCD

♥ Who is the most stubborn?
I don't know. Is it possible to be equal? We are both pretty head strong.

♥ Who wakes up earlier?
I do! But he stays up all night he can never sleep.

♥ Who has the bigger family?
Our families are close to the same size.
♥ Do you get flowers often?
all the time :) I never liked flowers until they were from him. I know that's kind of strange but he gets me flowers weekly for my apartment and it's the sweetest thing.

♥ How do you spend the holidays?
Only holiday thus far has been the 4th of July and I was at the Lake and he was at home.

♥ Who is more jealous?
Joe.

♥ How long did it take to get serious?
It happened very quickly but more or less because we knew each other that well. I already loved him as a person long before I loved him as my other half therefore when I realized he was it... well getting serious came pretty naturally.

♥ Who eats more?
we're both fat kids trapped in little people's bodies.

♥ Who does/did the laundry?
I love doing laundry so we worked out a deal... I do laundry, he cleans my bathroom. I cannot STAND cleaning the bathroom.

♥ Who’s better with the computer?
I'm on it more I don't know if that makes me better

♥ Who drives when you are together?
He does... he thinks I follow too closely. I'm the first to admit I'm not the best driver but we always take my car so sometimes I tell him he just has to suck it up and close his eyes :)

Memphis

Joe and Memphis in his Cardinals shirt... duh he's a Cards fan!
Napping on the way home.
Stop flashing that thing in my face!
Big Stretch!

On Friday Joe and I drove to LeMars, Iowa and bought a 7 week old Vizsla puppy. Originally we were going to get a puppy from Tennessee and name him Memphis... plans fell through but we were still in love with the name Memphis so we decided he would be a Memphis from Iowa. I am absolutely in love with him, he's perfect and he's such a good boy so far :) He slept the entire way home, sleeps through the night (wakes up bright and early at 5 a.m. - pretty sure he's God's answer to my prayer for a way to rise earlier every day and study for the LSAT because my alarm wasn't doing the job), and goes potty/poop outside for the most part. He's definitely a baby and loves to be snuggled, hates when he's not getting any attention and thus far really enjoys unfolding the laundry as I fold it and playing fetch with Joe. He has been an instant burst of joy that I needed in my life as of late and I'm so, so thankful.
