The Spouse Brag Tag

What's his name? Justin Wesley

How long have you been together? Almost five years.

How long did you date? It was five months until we were engage and other six until we got married, but the lines are a little fuzzy about when we actually got engaged and started dating.

How old is he? 27 same as me!!

Who eats more? Depends on when we are eating. Usually I would say he can out eat me, unless he has been on call. He says that it messes his eating up. It takes a few days and then he's back to his normal self. (ooh except chocolate, I can eat way more chocolate then him)

Who is taller? He beats me by maybe an inch. I was planning marrying someone who was 6'4", but it didn't work out that way. I blame it on the streak of dates I went on with a bunch of short guys (some of you may remember that) and I knew it would be my fate to marry someone I was taller than in heels. It's okay, I'm over it. I love him.

Who said 'I love you' first? He did walking down a street in Hershey,PA one night. It took me awhile to feel comfortable saying it back. When I finally did, I meant it.

Who does the laundry? Me. (unless Justin happens to be out of whites and has a few minutes free, which is an extremely rare occasion)

Who does the dishes? Me again. It's like pulling a tooth to get him to put the dishes in the dishwasher.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Justin, it's closer the the alarm clock and the bathroom, he gets up way too early for me.

Who pays the bills? Me again. I am in control of the finances, just the way I like it to be.:)

Who mows the lawn? What lawn?!? You mean our weeds, yes Justin mows the weeds.

Who cooks dinner? Once again, that is my job. If I don't feel like cooking, dinner is pretty shabby.

Who sings better? I don't profess to be a great singer, but I do mostly beat Justin on Karaoke Revolution on the PS2, however, he did beat me once. And I do admit that he makes up better words to songs than I can.

Who drives when you are together? Justin, he makes way too much fun of my driving for us to switch spots.

Who is more stubborn? Me, I usually have to get my own way. It's actually kind of bratty of me and I should be better and yield to him more frequently.

Who is smarter? Depends on who you ask. Math teacher or doctor. You decide. (I did have better grades in high school, but I can't understand a sentence in any of his medical books)

Who kissed who first? I think it was mutual. He definitely wanted to kiss me before I wanted to kiss him.

Who asked who out first? He asked me out. I seem to remember that he kept asking me, "When are we going to go out?" My reply was always the same, "When are you going to ask me?" Man, I am kind of a brat.

Who proposed? Hmmmm, I definitely got gypped on the whole proposal thing. Justin claims it was my fault, because I wasn't patient enough, but he sure took his time and I sure had a wedding to plan. Eventually he did get down on one knee and ask, but I was already wearing a ring and I'm pretty sure invitations had been mailed.

Who is more sensitive? Me, me, me!!!

Who has more friends? I guess that would be me since Justin claims to have no friends besides me and the people he knew before we moved here.

Who has more siblings? I have five, he has one.

Who wears the pants in the family? Umm, this is hard for me. I guess it depends on the issue. I like to let Justin deal with uncomfortable situations, but I'm not afraid to jump in and offer my opinion. I think we are pretty balanced, although he may not agree.

I'm unsure how this tag thing works (this is my first time), so I guess I tag a few people and you get to answer these fun questions on your blog and than tag someone new. I tag Lindsay, Wendy, Whitney and Bryce. Have fun!

15 Months Old

Life has been a little crazy lately and I've been meaning to get on here everyday, but I keep pushing it to the back burner. Anyway, Isabella went to the doctor last week for her check-up. she did not love it at all. When the doctor started to examine her she started throwing a fit and the shots were horrible. We made it through although it was very tramtic. Izzy is now 22 pounds and almost 32 inches long. I just can't believe how big she is getting. Each day I am amazed at what she learns. She started to fold her arms when we pray and will say "amen" at the end of the prayer. It is my favorite new thing lately.






I took Isabella too our Young Women's activity the other night wearing these jeans. I thought I was the only one with the opinion that her bum looks so stinking cute in these jeans, but I was wrong. The YW were so funny about her cute bum. They kept trying to make her walk away from them so they could watch her walk around. I know I'm biased, but she does have a cute little bum. Is it weird that I think that?

ICE!

Every holiday season at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville these amazing ice sculptors come and carve a seasonal display. This year the theme was Dr. Seuss's The Grinch. Justin picked up four tickets from work, so we invited some of our friends to come with us (the kids were free). They told us it was nine degrees inside and we all wore these special coats. Justin claimed that he didn't need to wear his coat, but my toes were numb by the time we were done walking through. The ice carvings were pretty spectacular, but I don't know if I would pay $20 to see the display.

We look so dang cute in our warm, blue coats (yes it is 95% ice)

Justin the Film Editor

After working through Christmas, Justin was on vacation for the past two weeks. His first day back was today. We didn't really do anything exciting, but we did have a lot of fun hanging out and playing with Izzy. I definitely stayed up later than normal every night (11:30) and watched and awful lot of M*A*S*H*. Justin did spend several days compiling some of our family videos. This is the result of his creative abilities. It makes us both tear up every time we watch it. So for those of you who wish you would've seen Izzy as a baby, and the rest of you who need to remember, enjoy Justin's creation!

Fun, Free, Furniture

One of my friends gave me this chair the other day because her little boy didn't use it any more. If you can't tell, it was a big hit. She sat and watched Baby Einstein for awhile. She loves to try to pick the chair up and walk around. I love hand-me-down toys!

Do you have a driver's license?

I actually took this video about a week ago (before the 70 degree weather), but I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to get a video on this blog. Thank goodness I have a really great brother-in-law (that's you Bryce) that does all of the blogging in his home and he helped me out. Anyway, this is Izzy driving her little car around. She loves playing outside despite the silly expression on her face. She cries whenever we make her come in. Today she made me put her mittens on her so she could think she was going outside. Unfortunately it was very rainy today so we didn't go out.

Wonderful One?

Isabella has been so much fun to play with lately, but she has definitely kept us on our toes. She has recently discovered crayons. She likes to draw on paper...also on the floor, on the table, and on the wall. This morning she decided that crayons would be a good breakfast. Much to her dismay, I had to dig three small pieces out of her mouth.

My First Blog

So this is my New Year's resolution, to share my day, week, or possibly month with those who may want to know what is going on in the Wilson household. I admit that I am unsure what to write and I feel a little silly making this posting. I don't claim to have the best writing skills. And I certainly don't promise any sort of consistency with my posts. Oh well, I hope that I will get better as I go and that my postings will be as fun as some of yours to read. Enjoy!
