Husband Tag

1. Full name: Jordan Lance Moser
2. How long have you been married?: 3 Years on December 29th
3. How long did you date? Our first date was June 9th, second date was July 9th and then on from there. We got engaged over Thanksgiving and were married 5 weeks later. ;)
4. Who eats the sweets? Both of us, especially Ice cream
5. Who said "I love you" first? Well if you count singing with Brooks & Dunn 'Maria, I love you' then Jordan. But we ALL know that doesn't count so I did.
6. Who is taller? Jordan, by about 8 inches.
7. Who sings better? I am more musically inclined. ;)
8. Who is smarter? Depends on the subject.
9. Who does the laundry? Almost always me.
10. Who pays the bills? I do. Something to do with my profession...
11. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do... closest to the door.
12. Who mows the lawn? the gardener every Wednesday
13. Who drives? Jordan most of the time, especially if it is a new place.
14. Who admits they are wrong? That would mean one of us would have to be wrong...
15. Who kissed who first? It just kind of happened - neither of us can claim that or holding hands first.
16. Who asked out who first? Jordan asked me out. I got home from work and my roommate told me Jordan Moser called (Jordan who?) and I was supposed to call him back if I got home within 20 minutes or so (everyone knows what THAT means). He needed a date for that night (Thursday) so he flipped through the ward directory. I had said 'Hi' a few times so he called. We hit it off but he went out of town then I did so it was awhile later before we went out again. How he asked me out for the second date is another good story...
17.Who wears the pants? We both do.

I am so lucky. I couldn't ask for a better husband! We compliment each other so well and have a lot of fun together. Life is good when you are married to your best friend for eternity.

Okay, so I can't just NOT tell how he asked me out for our second date. The apartment complex we lived in was remodeling apartments one at a time and we were asked to move into a newly remodeled apartment next door (tough decision) so they could remodel our apartment. Well Jordan didn't know that and he kept calling our old apartment. Then on Saturday morning we had a co-ed softball game. We walked home together after the game and he waited 30 minutes to call me. Surprise, surprise, the phone just rang and rang. You can imagine his frustration! That afternoon our ward had a ward birthday party for everyone who had a birthday during the month. I went to it and Jordan (who RARELY went to those activities) was there, hoping to see me. After one guy in the ward asked me to go ice skating that night (my legs were badly sunburned from the family reunion I had just returned from) I sat by Jordan on the couch. He proceeded to complain that no one is ever home at our apartment! He finally was able to ask me out for a few hours later and we had fun on his wonderfully planned date: disc golfing, Papa Murphy's take-n-bake pizza with Orange Julius & home made cookies, and 'watching' (I think we talked through the whole thing) Pirates of the Caribbean with their surround sound system. The rest is history! :)

As a side note, my sunburned legs were quite the topic of conversation at the ward activity and EVERYONE seemed to have a 'cure' for me. Well, unfortunately for me, I tried one of them between when I talked to Jordan and when we went out. This one consisted of getting the gel out of vitamin e capsules and putting that on the burn. NOT RECOMMENDED! Talk about a sticky mess! AND I didn't have time to get it off before we went out... yeah DISC GOLFING! I got so many bugs stuck to my legs, I was so embarrassed. I kept trying to discretely wipe the bugs off. Jordan was so sweet, he kept trying to help me. We skipped one of the holes that was out in the weeds and he offered to let me use his sweater to wipe the bugs off my legs. LOL! Oh well! Still makes us laugh (and now I finally have it written down!)

I tag Melinda, Kelli, Nicky, Angie, and Lashelle.

I love that he tried so hard to ask you out and that he persisted and prevailed! Even though you were "never home" it still worked out--must be meant to be ;)
