I've been husband tagged!

What is his name? Jared Bernard Critchfield II
How long have you been together? Almost 3 ½ years
How long did you date? 9 months
How old his he? 26
Who eats more? Depends, if I’m pregnant or nursing, we eat about the same. Otherwise, he eats more. If it’s sweets, he definitely eats more, lol.
Who said I love you first? He did and of course I got all giddy inside and said it back.
Who is taller? He is, by 3 inches. So basically, I can’t wear high heels unless I want to feel taller than him.
Who can sing better? Oh, definitely me…NOT! If you know Jared, you know he’s got one heck of an amazing voice! He serenades Kailee and I all the time.
Who is smarter? Well, according to ACT scores, he beat me by 1 point! He is for sure smarter. He could write an English essay at BYU without even reading the book and get an A on it… made me sick. But when it comes to cooking, aerobics, taking care of Kailee (lol), doing dishes, playing most games, and probably science, and maybe math… I’d say I’m the smarter one!
Who does the laundry? We both do. Sometimes I do it by myself and sometimes he’ll haul it all to the laundry mat and start it for me, I switch it, he brings it back, and I fold it. And sometimes we fold it together! And 2 weeks ago, he surprised me and folded all 5 loads while I napped; what a doll!
Who pays the bills? We both do. He always pays rent and I pay utilities. We both pay other bills like cell phone.
Who sleeps in the right side? Depends on the night. Jared sleeps wherever I tell him to sleep. My body is weird and tells me every night which way I need to lay in order to get to sleep. I like to sleep on my side turned away from him because I can’t stand hot air blowing in my face. I like to be spooned and boy is Jared a great spooner, lol. TMI. So, if my body tells me to sleep facing left, then he sleeps on the right side and if I need to face right, he sleeps on the left side. Jared could fall asleep on a log; he could sleep anywhere. He often likes me to sleep on the right side by the wall because he thinks it’s funny that I have to crawl over him if Kailee wakes up.
Who mows the lawn? Wymount Custodial! But when we get a yard, we’ll probably fight about it. I think mowing lawn is a great time to ponder and get a tan, especially if we ever get a riding lawn mower!
Who cooks dinner? I do. I think Jared knows how to make ramen noodles, scrambled eggs, and maybe mac and cheese if I help him. He has made me dinner twice in our marriage and it was delicious. Truthfully, Jared hates to cook so I don’t make him. I love cooking anyways.
Who drives? We both do. If it’s snowing, I like Jared to drive and he actually prefers to drive because he says I drive slower than the people jogging outside. You can never be too cautious, right?
Who is more stubborn? That’s a tough one. We can both be stubborn.
Who kissed who first? Jared kissed me… after a nice evening of watching “Elf.”
Who asked who out first? He asked me. We went to Mimi’s Café on our first date!
Who proposed? He did and it was so exciting I almost hyperventilated.
Who has more friends? Dunno. We both love making new friends and hanging out with old friends. I probably hang out with friends more just because I have more time. He has tons of friends in his major at school, in his old choir, from playing intramurals, and he keeps in touch with old friends farely well. He still keeps in touch with his 4 best friends from high school and his 2 best friends from his mission. Jared is a great people person and enjoys throwing back a cold one (root beer) with his buddies over a nice football game or game of ping pong.
Who is more sensitive? Tough one. If it’s that time of month, probably me. Any other time, probably him, lol. JK We are probably equally sensitive.
Who has more siblings? He does. I have 3 brothers and 1 step brother. He has 5 siblings.
Who wears the pants? We both like to think we do, but truth is we both do.
Bonus: What’s his favorite thing to do? Snuggle me!!! And play with Kailee; she cracks us up!
Here is my handsome hunk as a cute little boy!

Okay, I tag Ashley W., Julie B., Becky O., Emily-Kate, Lindsey S., Sara S., & Jenn S.

Sara said...

So I LOVE what you said about which side of the bed... Mark and I are the same way except he is the one who tells me where to sleep and I am the one that could sleep on a log! But everything else you said- so us!

PS- um I really think we need to get together sometime! But yet again I have lost your phone number because well- I am brainless quite often

PSS- I got Makenna's hair bows at Babies R Us in Colorado over the summer

Jared is so handsome and cutsie in that awesome shirt!! I just want to pinch those sweet little cheeks! (on his face- Shannon Rose). I know what you are thinking!!:-) Just kidding!
Great fun reading this 'tagged' thing. Jared is a wonderful person, husband, Daddy & son-in-law. He truly exudes an amazingly kind, gracious & beautiful spirit. Is it any wonder that he and Shannon were drawn to each other and fell in love?! They are equally blessed. Kailee is so blessed to have such gentle, amazing & loving parents. Happy, happy 1st birthday Kailee Rose!
Love, Nana & Papa / (Mom)-(Angie & Steve)

Very cute. The picture of him is exactly what Kailee will look like in a few years (substitute the sweet button-up for a pink cardigan and the spike for bouncy curls)!

Epa Fogo Pa!

Que menino e esse? Que bonito. Olha, tu es um incrivel, acreditas? Estou a escrever em portugues para que os outros nao saibam as coisas que te digo. Tu podes traduzir a mensagem para a tua mulher. Nao presta atencao aos commentarios sobre a camisa, todos sabem que foi a nossa mae que fez com que usassamos aquela roupa. Vos amo pa, parabens pelas boas fotos. Tchau

I want to know what 'Colby' said in his comment. Not fair!! :-) Welcome Home Colby!! Now that Jared & Colby both served their missions in Portugal, they have their 'secret' language. :-) I think he must have said how 'cute', 'handsome' and AWESOME his big brother is. :-) I think your fellow 'bloggers' deserve a 'translation'! :-) How wonderful that you both served in Portugal; (so amazing)..and that you both speak fluent Portuguese. You are very blessed and fortunate to have this in common. I am sure it serves to only strengthen your bond as brothers. With Love,
(Your wonderful Mother-in-law :-)
