5. Who eats more? He does (much more!)

6. Who said I love you first? He told me he loved me first in a bookstore in Wellesley that I used to work at. I was on a fifteen minute break and it was snowing out and so we went for a little walk. It was the magical kind of snow that happens before Christmas and when we came back in as I was walking back toward the children's section he grabbed on to me and told me he loved me. He was wearing a blue wool hat and I was wearing brown corduroys.

7. Who’s Taller? He is 5'11" and I am 5' 6"

9. Who is smarter? He is a musical genius and I am fairly intelligent in many areas.

10. Who does the laundry? We both do.

11. Who pays the bills? I do.

12. Who sleeps on the right side? I do.
13. Who mows the lawn? We both do.

14. Who cooks dinner? I hate to cook so he usually does but he is at work a lot of dinners so we are spoiled and live next to my mother who, yes at the age of 35 still at least twice a week cooks dinner. God bless her soul.

15. Who drives? Both of us although he is much better with getting around than I am.

16. Who is more stubborn? We are both incredibly stubborn.

17. Who kissed who first? He kissed me first on March 13th 1995 as I was walking out of his apartment. We were only friends then and he would usually hug me goodbye. This time he laid one on me and I swear (really I do) I saw stars.

18. Who asked who out first? He said to me a few times that we should hang out. We kind of evolved together. We were friends for many years before we were "together".

19. Who proposed? Gary on Christmas eve 1999. I was in my pajamas and he asked me while we were dancing to "Annie's Song" by John Denver. He cried so hard I thought maybe he didn't want to.

20. Who has more friends? It used to be him but has evolved in to me. I think this happens a lot.

21. Who is more sensitive? I am.

22. Who has more siblings? I do. He is an only child and I have two siblings.
