Husband tag

By Sarah


Admitting it's a little intimidating to be tagged by my husband's sister...

What is his name?  Daniel Wayne
How did you meet? We both moved to Centennial Apts. Spring 2001.  I was one of the FHE co-chairs & he was one of the dads.  We ended up talking for hours after I told him how to do his job.  (:
How long have you been married?  4 years, 9 months, & 4 days
How long did you date?  Ummm... if you only count time we were in the same state & before we were engaged... 2 months.  If you count long distance too, 23 months.
How old is he?  The big 3-0!!!
How old are you? 27 (thank goodness I'm not 30!)
Who eats more sweets?  Danny, hands down!  I don't know if he'd ever eat 'real' food if he didn't have to.
Who is taller?  Hello!  That almost 10" gap should be pretty clear.
Who is the better singer?  Considering I've only really heard him sing while I was the primary chorister, we might have to say I do just b/c I know the words.  (:
Who is smarter?  Danny.  But I'm always right.
Who does the laundry?  I'm pretty good at getting it through the machines & putting Kaelah's clothes away, but usually Danny ends up putting our clothes on the hangers.
Who does the dishes?  We seem to go in streaks on this one.  Right now, me.
Who pays the bills?  He makes the $ & I spend it.  Of course, I also avoid the late fees that way.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?  Me... closer to the baby's room.
Who mows the lawn?  We used to fight over it, but I do while he does things like build the planter boxes for the garden or fix the sprinkler system.  I did say he was the smarter one.
Who cooks dinner?  Generally, weekdays: me & weekends: him.
Who drives? Danny.  I'm night blind so it started there.
Besides you, who is his best friend?  Oooo...  well, the guy he hangs around the most right now is Dave Riddle... I don't think they've had a DTR, though.  (:
Who asked who out first?  Poor Danny.  He had to ask me 3x before I said yes.  In my defense, I was going on a mission!
Who kissed who first?  He kissed me.  No way I was going to kiss him.  Mission!
What was your first date?  Unofficial: playing tennis.  Official: the Manti pageant.  Dan's roommate Eddie tricked us into it.  He had some idea we were perfect for each other or something.  (:
Who proposed?  Danny did... the day I got back to BYU after my mission.
Who has more siblings?  Let's see, is 7 a bigger number than zero?
Who wears the pants?  I decided to get Danny's input on this one.  His reply, "Do you really have to ask?!?"  Oh, no.  I never wanted to be that kind of wife.  He tried to reassure me that every healthy marriage is that way....
Who is more stubborn?  Well, after the rest of the above-mentioned conversation, I don't need to ask.  It's me.
What is your favorite thing about him?  Danny is just perfect for me.  When I think about this question, I am reminded of something my Chinese dad , Henry Ma, said to me my last week in Taiwan.  He cautioned me that because I am a Virgo, I would need to carefully choose a husband.  The right one for me would need to be tall, handsome, intelligent, innovative & easy to get along with.   Dan sure is!  Hmmmm, so when Danny needs to have patience with me, can I just blame it on my birth sign?

I tag: Mandi, b/c she has become such a good blogger since moving to Germany!

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Danny's 1st Year Video

By Sarah
Exactly one year ago today we got a call from our case worker. He told us there was a birth mother thinking of placing her son with us for adoption. Usually he didn't make such phone calls before an official decision was made, but he felt that this little boy was meant for us & we needed a little warning b/c the due date was June 12. Low & behold, 4 days later he called to say Dani had chosen us to be her baby's parents. 2 weeks later, we were bringing Danny home from the hospital. It is difficult to believe Danny's birthday is only 2.5 weeks away. When I look back I feel he & I were a little gipped with me getting pregnant so soon after he was born & becoming a big brother at only 9.5 months, but he is so healthy & happy. There is no way he could have been any better of a baby... I'm convinced he is the easiest/best little guy to have ever graced the planet. We are so blessed. He is truly a joy of a boy.

No check up, but doing great!

By Sarah
The pediatrician thought Kaelah was doing well enough to skip her 15-month check up... but I can't resist a formal update before she turns 16-months-old tomorrow. Of course I'll put this first on the list: Kaelah said her first Chinese word last week! Bi zi for nose -- which she heard for the first time in Hawaii. Looks like I'll have to pick out word #2 soon! Kaelah is selective about the music we listen to now. She'll either say, "no" or begin dancing. We're thrilled she will now fold her arms while we pray over the food & by her crib at night. Kaelah will also say "yummmm" while eating & will give high 5's and knuckles. I think you'll pick up most of the rest from the video. (:
