My significant better half


I love that my friend Kristi knows I'm always up for these fun little quizzes. This ones all about MTW....not Mon, Tue, Wed...but Michael Troy Wickham. What a great guy!

His name: that was already revealed...Michael Troy Wickham

How long have you been married?: 5 years, 4 months & 9 days

How long did you date?:4 1/2 months, that's first date to wedding day

How old is he?: 36

Who eats more? actually me when it comes to meals & him when it comes to sugary junk food

Who said "I love you" first? Michael.

Who is taller? thankfully he is at 6'4''

Who sings better? Maybe me, but I get practice in the ward choir. He's actually not bad though.

Who is smarter? he's a computer & science whiz & I'm more artsy, socially aware & creative...but we both have bachelors degrees & have good discussions/debates with well documented resources...so I'd say we're even.

Whose temper is worse? uh, sorry to say, mine. Does Michael have a temper? No.

Who does the laundry? Even on this one too. I'm lucky enough to have a husband who starts a load when he sees that the basket is full & he'll fold and put away too!

Who does the dishes? Mostly me, but he'll help out at dinner a lot. I'm lucky enough to also have a husband who does a job when he sees it needs to be done. Stack of dishes in the sink? Done.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? This is a funny question. Right? When lying in bed, Micheal's to my right--so I think I'm on the right side of the bed :)

Who pays the bills? he does, but I do all the balancing and checking the accounts and so forth. We stay on the same ledger most of the time.

Who mows the lawn? Always him--I told him when he bought a non-push mower that I would never mow the lawn--I've stayed true to my word :)

Who cooks dinner? Me, unless I'm feeling okay about eating Pasta-Groan-E for dinner & then I'll ask him to fix something {this is a very uncommon occurrence}.

Who drives when you are together? Him, that is unless we're in a big hurry and I can't stand the anxiety his safe, slow driving gives me. :) :)

Who is more stubborn? You know most who know us would say me & you might be right but FEW get to see the very, silent stubborn part of Michael like I have. We might be even on this one too!

Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Used to be Michael, I think it's me more often now.

Whose parents do you see the most? Mine

Who proposed? You could say I did. Michael had mentioned the 'M' word a few times. Finally I told him to lay off & that I didn't want to think about it for awhile. Wouldn't you know less than a week later I realized he was the man I wanted forever. I rigged up a special night where I told him he could ask the big question and my answer would be yes. I also wanted to know what he was doing on Sept. 14th {I had already scheduled the temple}. The 'official' proposal came later when the ring was ready.

Who has more friends? Probably me.

Who has more siblings? Me!! I have 8 & he has 3.

Who wears the pants in the family? Again, most who know us would say me, but they haven't seen that silly stubborn streak that lays down the law :)


Awww, shucks, that was fun. It's always a nice reminder that you are still lucky in love.

Let's see, I want Liberti, Laura Lee, Laurie & Laresa to play. What can I say? I had a thing for L's today.
