Alrighty--Here's the Dirt !

Well, I have successfully proved that I am computer illiterate !! I attempted to answer Rachael's blog--and finished all of it--then I conveniently did something and lost it and do not know how to bring it back up ! So--a second try I will give this !

1. What is his name? Patrick Michael Box
2. Who eats more? Well, when I am home all day long--figure it out for yourselves !! When we go out to eat--definitely him.
3. Who said 'I love you' first? Honestly---I do not remember--it has been too many years ago !
4. Who is taller? Definitely Patrick--by about 5 or 6 inches.
5. Who is smarter? Do we even need to ask that one???? Who helped the kids with their homework ?? It wasn't their mother when it came to Math !!!
6. Who is more sensitive? Patrick is a big softy--really. He cries over a lot of things--even movies !! But I like to think that I am sensitive, too.
7. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I sleep on the right side, the left side, the middle, the top , and the end !! Does that leave any room for Patrick??
8. Who pays the bills? Now--really---most women do that ! The men remember after the fact--so who wants all those late fees??
9. Who cooks more? More?? I can count on one hand the times Patrick actually cooked ! And I am not counting hot dogs and macaroni and cheese as cooking either !
10. Who is more stubborn? Well---he will say me--and I am stubborn--but I think he is. I will bend sometimes--he usually does not.
11. Who is the first to admit they are wrong? Definitely not him--that Box pride gets in the way of that !
12. Who has more siblings? He does---6 in their family and only 3 in mine.
13. Who wears the pants in the relationship? You know men--they think they do ! But secretly--we women are controlling everything making them think that they are !
14. What do you like to do together? Man oh man---lots of things. Traveling and seeing different places. Going to a good movie. Institute. Babysitting the grandkids.
We loved watching American Idol together this season--I finally got him hooked ! And we even like to watch 'What Not to Wear' together !
15. Who eats more sweets? When you say 'cookies' and I'm around---need you even ask that question?? When it is chocolate--definitely him, though.
16. Guilty pleasures? Hmmmmm...that one---ice cream for me. Can't really answer that one for him---
17. How did you meet? We met in my sisters apartment the first time. We were in the same branch at BYU. I was not impressed the first time I met him--at all. In December, our branch had a dance and I was being pestered by a young man. He was getting pretty out of hand and I could not get away from him. Patrick stepped up and asked me to dance to get me away from him. He was my Knight in Shining Armor after that !
18. Who asked whom out first? Patrick asked me out shortly after we met. We went to the BYU Folkdancers Christmas Around the World.
19. Who kissed who first? Patrick did--but not on the first date--the second date.
20. Who proposed? Patrick drove from Roswell, New Mexico all the way to San Francisco where I was with my sister and her husband. He came at the time California was having a water shortage and I had not showered for a few days ! Lovely though I was--with my pigtails dripping from grease--he proposed over-looking the San Francisco Bridge. Very romantic !
21. His best features and qualities? Well, a lot of people will not agree with the first one--but patience. Not while driving--but most of the other times. Especially with me. He is a hard worker. He is funny when he allows himself to let himself go. He loves his family. He is very friendly.


Okay--so that is over with ! Are you satisfied Rachael??? Now Emily Elizabeth Box Cox--let's hear from you !
