Back in Italia

After an awesome three and a half weeks in the states, I have to say it's nice to be back in my own bed in my nice, cold villa! Unfortunately, Karl is traveling for work and we hope he comes back soon- I haven't seen him in a month :( Even though Karl and I didn't get to spend our first married Valentine's together, I got a VERY special gift yesterday...I heard the baby's heart beat for the first time (a strong 160 bpm)!!! The baby has it's back to us right now, but as long as he/she turns around soon, we'll find out the sex on St. Patrick's Day (I just happen to make Dr. appts on random holidays I guess). As fun as baby stuff is to talk about, I'm doing this post because A.K. tagged me to fill out a very fun questionnaire!

MY HUSBAND

What is his name? Karl William Schlegel

How long have you been married? 10 months!

How long did you date? about 4.5 years

How old is he? 27...old man :)

How old are you? 24..25 next week though (quarter of a century)!

Who eats more sweets? That would be me- I believe that the point of eating lunch and dinner is so I can have the dessert that follows. You can ALWAYS find something fresh baked in my home- keep in mind I have no job.

Who said I love you first? I honestly don't remember (is that bad?) If I had to guess though, I'd guess he said it first because I'm pretty loveable :)

Who is taller? Karl by about 2 inches...me with my heels though

Who can sing better? Another toss up, though I think I'm slightly better. We've already decided to send our kids to voice lessons or else they have no hope.

Who is smarter? It's the only question we don't ever agree on- we think the opposite one is smarter. I think Karl's so smart when it comes to his job, common sense, general know-how, and picking the right wife. We think I have more book smarts (I'm a good memorizer) and I'm definitely better at directions!

Who does the laundry? I do all the laundry EXCEPT his stinky gym/soccer stuff. My pregnancy hormones have made that smell make me want to throw up...not good.

Who does the dishes? Whoever cooks, doesn't have to clean, but Karl travels A LOT with his job, so it's pretty even I guess.

Who pays the bills? Me...I'm seriously anal about our credit and paying everything on time. Honestly, Karl doesn't even know how to access the bank account online- he said he's happy as long as there's money in the ATM when he goes.

His guilty pleasure? I know Karl keeps a stash of candy at his desk and can demolish a bag of pizza rolls if given the opportunity.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Karl...I hate the right side of beds...don't know why.

Who mows the lawn? Karl...and the neighbors kid when Karl is gone.

Who is his best friend? Karl's brother, Erik, but I'm sure I'm up there, too :)

Who cooks dinner? Me...Karl's not allowed in the kitchen...ever. He's the grill guy though!

Who drives? Karl...Italian drivers scare me.

Who kissed who first? I'm sure it was me...I was prettty fiesty back then.

Who asked who out first? We met at a football game, Sept. 8 2001 VT vs. Western Michigan, and Karl was playing VT soccer at the time. He told me at the game that if he scored a goal against VMI the next day, that I owed him a date. Luckily he's an awesome soccer player :)

What was your first date? Sept. 10, 2001 Macados...we had sandwiches.

Who proposed? Karl did...one of the best days of my life!

Who has more siblings? I win...two sisters and a brother and Karl just has one brother.

Who wears the pants? Me...no question about it :)

What is your favorite thing about him? Can there be just one favorite thing about your husband? I love sooooo much about him, but I have to say that I love what a great person he is...eagle scout, US Marine Officer, soccer coach at the high school...I just know what a great role model he is and that he's going to be a terrific dad. Because he is such a great person, he treats me with so much respect and love and his patience tolerance for me is amazing. I just love him so much and hope are children are just like him :)

I tag Judy and April next!
