Here's to my husband.
Liz, I'm actually doing this because you tagged me. Shocking, I know. I'm here to blog again.
What is his name?
Garrett Chad Groesbeck. His family has a tradition of naming the first son so that he has the initials G.C.G. So his father, grandfather, etc. all have the same initials. Kind of cool.
How long have you been together?
A long time. We met when I was a freshman in high school. I was fourteen years old. He was a sophmore and we instantly liked each other. We "went out" for a month or two, but things got dramatic and we broke up because of outside forces. We didn't really talk to each other for seven months but we still secretly liked each other a lot. It wasn't until the summer after freshman year that I got a call from Garrett, and we decided to hang out. After that, we were inseparable. We were with each other every waking moment for a little over two years. Then, I broke up with him the beginning of my senior year because I wanted to date more. That lasted about two months before we were back together again. He then left for his mission in March of 2005. We wrote the whole two years, but I had a great time dating others. I wasn't particularly "waiting", but I kept him in mind always. When he got home, things were a bit rocky, but they worked themselves out and we were back together again. We got married on December 13, 2007. So, if you want to count from the first time we laid eyes on each other...it's been about 7 1/2 years.
How long did you date?
If you don't count the mission or our break ups....about 3 years give or take a little.
How old is he?
He just turned 22 on New Years Eve.
Who eats more?
I'm with Liz. It totally depends. Sometimes I out-eat him by a long shot, but I'd say in general he eats more.
Who said I love you first?
I did. I believe I was still 14 years old...maybe 15 when I said it. We were sitting on the front porch at my dads house on a summer night just watching the cars drive by. I remember having a VERY overwhelming feeling in my chest, and I wasn't quite sure what it was. I honestly felt that I couldn't contain this feeling. It was weird, and I haven't felt something quite like that since this moment. All I can say was that it was powerful. I remember sitting there thinking that the feeling was love, and that I loved Garrett. We were so young and I remember feeling really silly mentioning anything to him, but I did. I asked him if I could ask him a question. He said sure. It took me a couple of tries before I could ask, "Do you ever feel that you want to say I love you?" He said yes. So I told him I loved him, then he said it back. It's funny to me when I look back at the situation now. I can't believe we were so young, but we felt such a powerful emotion. But, it was real.
Who is taller?
Well, Garrett is 6'3. He's definitely taller than me!
Who can sing better?
Probably me. Garrett has his good days though.
Who is smarter?
I think we are both smart in different ways. He knows certain things that I have no clue about. And the same goes for me. We are both smart in our own ways.
Who does the laundry?
Basically me. He helps though, but I do it the most.
Who pays the bills?
We are pretty much equal here. But I'm with Liz, I'm way more worried about money than Garrett is.
Who sleeps in the right side?
I sleep on the right side in the bed. Garrett makes me sleep here as a protective measure since his side is closer to the door to the bedroom.
Who mows the lawn?
This is easy. Neither of us do. We unfortunately don't have a lawn.
Who cooks dinner?
It depends. When I'm home before Garrett is, I generally whip something up. But I have come home several times to dinner prepared for me. So...we both do our share.
Who drives?
I love Garrett to drive when we are together, so he usually does.
Who is more stubborn?
Me. DEFINITELY me! Garrett is very easy going and is really relaxed. I wouldn't describe him stubborn at all. I, on the other hand, am very stubborn.
Who kissed who first?
Garrett kissed me first. The very first night that we hung out, he kissed me. Again, I was 14 years old. He and Riley came down to my house to pick me up. We were all going to go to Garrett's house and do something together. Well, when we got there Riley decided that he was out of there. This left Garrett and I alone, and I didn't know what to do because we had never been alone before. It was a cold autumn night and I proposed that we should go on a walk. We did and we got about half way down the first block when Garrett turned and kissed me. I was shocked, but I can't say that I was disappointed :).
Who asked who out first?
I'm with Liz here. We never really "went out". Because I wasn't 16 yet and couldn't go out on dates, we just hung out every day at my dads house. When I finally turned 16, Garrett took me out to Los Hermanos for lunch. I guess that would be our first official date.
Who proposed?
Garrett did. We were at Bear Lake with my family, and Garrett took me on a little walk one night. During the walk he did the whole shabang.
Who has more friends?
We basically have the same friends. Since we have been together for so long, our friends are basically the same. It's nice.
Who is more sensitive?
I don't know. Probably me, but I really don't know. Garrett has a very sensitive side that really I only see. I think we are equally sensitive people.
Who has more siblings?
Hmmm...if you count Garretts half siblings and step siblings, he would have more. But if you only count whole siblings, I have more. Garrett has 2 whole siblings and 2 half siblings. He also has 4 (I think?) step brothers.
Who wears the pants?
Haha...I'd say in general I do. But I don't like this question much either. I like to work things out together so that we both have a say in things.
There you go. There's a little insight into my love live :).
