What is his name? Samuel Adam Smith

How long have you been together? We've been together ever since we met! We met the first week of school at Citrus College in Glendora, CA. It was the second week of August 2006. Sam had just come home from his mission about 2 weeks earlier. So, we've been together 11.5 years. We've been married 10 years, four months!

How old is he? He is 32

Who eats more? Sam can eat more than I can at a meal, but I eat more than he does during the day. Sam will often skip Breakfast and even sometimes Lunch because he never gets a break at work. So, many times when he gets home at night, Dinner is the first meal of his day. It makes me so mad when he does that! I NEVER skip a meal!

Who said, "I love you" first? Sam did! It was so sweet too! We were playing scrabble and he some how spelled " I love you" on the board. So I just took some scrabble chips and spelled it out too. He just got this huge grin on his face and then he said " I love you" out loud to me and that he had wanted to say it for a while, but was trying to find the right moment. It was definitely a great moment!

Who is taller? He is. Sam's 6'4.5" and I'm 5'11".

Who sings better? I do

Who is smarter? We are both smart! Silly question. One advantage I have is my memory and my attention to detail. Sam is very good at finding a solution to the problem!

Who pays the bills? We both do. Sam takes care of all the finances in general, but he pays all the business bills, taxes, staff, and I pay all the residential bills.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do, but I'm a terrible blanket thief, so he ends up on my side of the bed too.

Who mows the lawn? He does! I take care of the flower beds.

Who cooks dinner? We both do. I'm so blessed to have a husband that is a great cook. I never have to worry about him and the kids if I'm gone during dinner time. I usually cook during the week and Sam cooks on the weekends. He likes to make homemade pizza and he loves to cook a roast and potatoes.

Who drives? When we are together in the car, Sam drives.

Who is more stubborn? I would say we are equally stubborn.

Who kissed who first? Sam kissed me first, I guess. It was like Will Smith in "Hitch" giving the kissing lesson to Albert. "You go 90% and let her come the other 10%". It was very sweet because he didn't just go for it, the choice became mine.

Who asked who out first? Well, this is tricky. I got a friend, Melissa, to ask Scott Johnson to call and invite Sam and his brother Pete to go ice skating in Pasadena with a group of friends. I didn't want it to look like "I" invited him. Melissa and I picked them up though. This was the first " group date" we went on. I was brave and put myself out there and tried to talk to Sam a lot. I really liked him, but my heart sank when he asked me how old I was. I was just 18 and didn't think this returned missionary would give me the time of day. In my head I knew that he would probably date other people for a while. I'm mean, he just got home! BUT, the very next day, he called me up and asked me out on a DATE!!! We dated exclusively since that night. So, I think I initiated the interest, but he asked me out on the first real date!

Who proposed? Sam did. He proposed at the top of Morgan Ranch in Glendora. It is this beautiful look out point that we loved to go to and see all the city lights.

Who is more sensitive? I am, though he is sensitive too.

Who has more siblings? Sam does! He is the second of seven children. I am the oldest of three.

Who wears the pants? We share the pants! I think it's important that we work together to balance our crazy and stressful lives. We compliment each other and together we make a great team! Sam does however wear the pants when it comes to major and important family decisions.
