I'm doing one of those quiz thingies. I figure it might answer some of your questions, if you've got some. It's about my sweetheart. :-D ooh la la!
1. What is his name? Adam Stephen Rowley*
*(that's Row - lee, in case you need some pronunciation help. Definitely NOT Rowl - ee, just Row - lee. It's English for a rough field, a meadow, a "lee." And now you know. By the way, J.K. Rowling's name is pronounced "Row - ling." Row, row, row your boat. Or think of Rowley Pole-y. Alrighty, good chap. People in the ward are STILL pronouncing our name wrong. And there is another set of Rowleys in our ward. We hang out with them. They are fun kids!
2. How long have you been married? We are celebrating 2 years on Sept. 2nd.
3. How long did you date? We started dating around April 22nd or so. I met him around January at an ice skating activity, although he tells me it was much later, like Feb or March. We knew each other through friends, and we also got more acquainted at a movie party at Stephanie Bennett's house, probably in March. Most everyone was watching "National Treasure," but I had to leave soon, but in the meantime, I was putting a puzzle together in the adjacent room, but still talking to people in the other room. Weirdo. Weird puzzle addict, that's me!
4. Who eats more sweets? Depends. I eat more chocolate chips, and he eats more bowls of ice cream. ;-)
5. Who said I love you first? Adam did. We were watching t.v. (possibly CSPAN) and maybe giving each other a kiss or two. It was very sweet. Of course, I said I love you back and then he said to only say it if I meant it, so maybe I didn't sound sincere, but I definitely meant it. :)
6. Who is taller? Adam is taller. I'm 5'7'' and he's got to be around 5'10'' because he's still taller than me when I'm wearing heels (maybe I've shrunk!), but he says he's 5'9''.
7. Who can sing better? Me, but I love singing with my hunny bun. I wish he would sing more. :) Makes me happy. Sometimes he plays the guitar and sings "Rainbow Connection." And "Hey Delilah."
8. Who is smarter? Probably Adam. I feel like a dum-dum. Heehee, okay, he's smarter when it comes to computers, politics, law stuff, t.v. trivia, and he's also pretty good with physics and math problem-solving. I've got a little more astronomy know-how, singing and dancing ability, and I'm pretty good with the math, science, and biology skills.
9. Who does the laundry? I do the laundry most of the time. I don't mind. It's the dishes that bother me. And no dishwasher. :( Boo hoo!
10. Who pays the bills? At the moment, I pay the bills. I use the ole online bill-pay and it saves me time and a stamp or three. Good ole bill pay. Once Adam is done with school, hopefully he'll be making some money and then I can use his money to pay the bills. ;-)
11. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you’re looking at the bed, Adam is on the right.
12. Who cooks dinner? Adam does probably 60% of the time. He's a great cook! We both love to cook and sometimes like to make things together, like delicious cheesecakes and Swedish meatballs and chocolate souffles, it's ALL good!
13. Who drives? When I was working, I was driving a lot, by myself, to work. And then Adam would drive us to church on Sundays or to the occasional restaurant or movie. So I drive on weekdays, and Adam on evenings and weekends. I figure he needs the practice so he doesn't forget, and it's a nice break for me.
14. Who is more stubborn? I can be pretty stubborn. And Adam can be pretty stubborn. But only every now and again. We're pretty easy-going 90% of the time.
15. Who kissed who first? Adam kissed me first. It was May 7th, early morning, and we had been hanging out and watching t.v. He moved in slowly, cue music "smooth operator." It was good times. :-*
16. Who asked who out first? Adam asked me out first. In the past, I had not been shy and had probably asked 70% of the guys out that I dated. It usually strains the relationship though (whether or not the guy wants to admit it), so it was good that he asked me out. (But I wasn't just going to be sitting at home doing nothing!) Adam took me on the best first date EVER! We did TONS of stuff, went to delicious dinner, went to Cold Stone, saw a movie, went to Dave & Busters and played at the arcades, then back to my place to watch the National Geographic channel and a cool show on Ancient Egyptian pharaohs. We stayed up til two talking and watching t.v.
17. Who proposed? Adam. I thought he was going to propose on July 4th when we were watching the fireworks on top of the parking structure at Disneyland. It was okay, though. (I don't think he had asked my dad yet anyway.) He proposed after we went for a walk around the Newport Beach temple on July 9th. It was awesome. He proposed and I was so happy and I said yes. I gave him a big hug and a kiss, and then he asked, "You said yes, right?" He was so nervous, he didn't even hear me answer. It made me laugh!
18. Who wears the pants? Both of us at different times, but I don't mind if Adam wears those "pants." (Skirts look better on me anyway. Figuratively and literally. Adam liked that I was "feminine" and wore a lot of skirts. It was one of the things that he said attracted him to me.)
So I'm supposed to tag people and tell them to fill this questionnaire out on their own pages, but do it if you feel like it, I say. I'm not gonna call any of you out, and I'm sure that those of you that like to fill these things out naturally will.
I hope you are all having a good day!
Sincerely,
Danelle
