5 Years of Wedded Bliss



♥ What are your middle names? Crystal Lynn and Joshua Gary

♥ How long have you been together? Since September of 2003, so about 5 1/2 years!

♥ How long did you know each other before you started dating? A year or so.

♥ Who asked who out? Josh asked me out first in Round 1.

♥ How old are each of you? I'm 25, and he's 29.

♥ Whose family do you see the most? It's probably sixes. We see each family at least once a month.

♥ Do you have any children together? 3 beautiful babies! Kaley - 4, Thomas 2 1/2, Bella - 1.

♥ What about pets? Names? Ugh. No.

♥ Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple? Um, I'm not sure.

♥ Did you go to the same school? Not the same high school, but we did go to the same college!

♥ Were you born in the same home town? Josh was born in New Mexico, and I was born in Utah.

♥ Who is the smartest? Josh is pretty smart....but I'm the brilliant one who stays home with the kids!

♥ Who is the most sensitive? I am pretty sensitive! I have "soft feelings," but Josh is very sensitive to me!

♥ Where do you eat out most as a couple? As a couple...without kids? We like Goodwood - it seems like that's where we've gone most recently. With the kids, it's usually something cheap!

♥ Who has the craziest exes? Um, probably me.

♥ Who has the worst temper? I do, but not usually toward Josh. Mostly just when the kids are buggin'!

♥ Who does the cooking? I do. Josh will of course step in when needed though!

♥ Who is more social? Me by far! Josh will go to social things, but only if he really knows the people there!

♥ Who is the neat-freak? JOSH!!! I thought I was a pretty neat person, but Josh begs to differ! I always have "piles" of stuff on the bar, and it drives him nuts! When we built our house, Josh was the most excited about having separate bathroom counters! I like my stuff spread out, and he likes his away and not seen! We also have separate toothpaste.

♥ Who is more stubborn? We both are pretty stubborn.

♥ Who hogs the bed? Oh, me. Poor Josh. I have to sleep with extra blankets on, so the covers naturally gravitate to my side of the bed.

♥ Who wakes up earlier? We usually wake up when the kids do - and at the same time.

♥ Where was your first date? Bowling and ice cream.

♥ Who has the bigger family? Josh does - 4 sisters, 2 brothers.

♥ Do you get flowers often? Just as often as I like!

♥ How do you spend the holidays? We try to do our own thing with our little family, then split the rest of the time between our families. It's difficult.

♥ Who is more jealous? Me.

♥ How long did it take to get serious? For Josh, not long. For me, a little longer. Once I decided to date him though, I was sold!

♥ Who eats more? It depends on if I'm pregnant! We probably eat about the same though.

♥ Who does/did the laundry? I do - but now I have Kaley and Thomas to help! They love it!

♥ Who’s better with the computer? Josh is! He is so patient with me when I try to make handouts for Primary! I just tell him what I want it to look like, and Walla! He does it!

♥ Who drives when you are together? Josh always does!

♥ How did you meet? We met at the dear old Bountiful Court. We lived in the same apartment complex at BYU. I dated his roommates; he dated mine. Then we dated each other!

♥ What do you love most about your partner? What isn't to love?! He is a great husband, father and friend! I love that he does everything to make me happy! I love that he makes me smile even when I don't want to smile. :)

♥ What is your favorite thing to do together? Just being together! I don't really care what it is! I just get really protective of "my time" with Josh! I love the couple hours after the kids go to bed, and we can just chill.

♥ .Who picks where you go to dinner? The kids.

♥ .Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? It depends on who's wrong! Josh usually just makes peace, then I apologize.

♥ .Who wears the pants in the relationship? Equal pants wear-ers.

♥ Who eats more sweets? Ooh, that's hard. We both love the sweets, but probably I eat more.

♥ .Who cries more? Oh, me again!

♥ Who said "I love you" first? I think Josh did, but I quickly said it back! It seems like we talked about it alot before any one actually said it.

♥ Craziest memory you have with each other? That one time I left another date feeling "tired" so that we could "break" into the Marriott Center and play a game with a bunch of friends!

I love you, Babe!

I was just thinking that the other day and laughing to myself... I was thinking of all our pregnancies that have been within months of eachother and when we would hang out! It really makes me miss Utah and makes me want to move close to you guys!!! (; Witch reminds me... Are you guys expecting anytime soon, cause I'm not quite ready for another baby! lol
