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!

Happy 250th Birthday

By Sarah
Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

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 ...

Some Explaining

By Sarah
Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
