My Sweet Husband!

Okay, now I'm stealing this idea from both my sisters, Melissa and Rebecca. :-) But I like the idea, especially on this Valentine's Day. I'm also using a different title than what they had (one used Wonderful and one used Awesome... and although both those words fit my hubby, I decided to use Sweet). This picture was taken almost 2 years ago, on our wedding day. I have a lot more pictures from that day, but want to save them to post on our anniversary.


* What is his name? Jeffery Bruce Hoggard
* How long have you been married? Almost 2 years (on Mar. 4)
* How long did you date? If you count engagement, exactly 10 months (not counting engagement, 7 1/2 months)
* How old is he? Just turned 34 last month (Jan. 14)
* Who eats more sweets? I do!
* Who said I love you first? He did... because of my broken hearts in the past, I wasn't ready, but then I did soon after (not sure how soon after, though)
* Who is taller? Jeff (as you can see in the pictures I post)
* Who can sing better? I sing around the house more than he does, but I don't like my voice and I think he's better
* Who is smarter? I think Jeff is (but he keeps saying I am, too, although sometimes I think I'm not)
* Who does the laundry? Mostly me, but he does some, too
* Who pays the bills? I do (Jeff puts me in charge of our finance stuff 'cause he says I'm good at it)
* Who sleeps on the right side? Depends on where you are... if you're standing at the foot of the bed facing the bed, I do, but if you're in bed lying on your back, he does
* Who mows the lawn? What lawn? We live in a condo! Actually there is some grass and the maintenance people (whoever they are) takes care of that
* Who cooks dinner? Both of us (but once Jeff gets paid more at his new job to where I can work part-time or not at all, I'll be doing most of the cooking)
* Who drives? Who drives where?... I drive to my work. Jeff drives to his work. And it's about half and half if we drive together (sometimes he'd drive us, sometimes I'd drive us)
* Who is more stubborn? Probably me (gotta work on that)
* Who kissed who first? I can't remember... but it was this one night and we knew it was going to happen, but I kept stalling because I didn't want to get my heart broken again... but after I quit stalling, it happened and now look where we are!
* Who asked who out first? Funny story... our VERY first date was about 2 years before we starting dating... we went out once and didn't really hit it off. I don't remember who asked who out then, but we had each other on MSN Messenger and said hi once in a blue moon, then about 2 years after our first date, we were talking on Messenger and I was saying how we were having a hard time finding a date for my brother and Jeff said something like "i can so empathize" and then I said something like "i'm available", then after that, we started going out (first slowly 'cause he was finishing up a semester, then more often)
* Who proposed? Jeff did! I knew it was coming since we had picked out my ring, but I didn't exactly know when. We went to Jeff's work Christmas party at Thanksgiving Point. It was a nice dinner and dancing and it was semi-formal (we just wore our Sunday best), then I think we drove through the lights up there, then went to the Mt. Timpanogos Temple and we walked around to the back of it and he proposed to me there. It was a sweet moment that I'll never forget!
* Who has more siblings? We both have the same amount, even the same amount of brothers and sisters... I have 1 brother and 2 sisters and he has 1 brother and 2 sisters
* Who wears the pants? When we go to church or to the temple or some other thing where I have to wear a dress, Jeff wears the pants... any other time, we both do :-) (actually we both do now)
* Who is the most affectionate? Most of the time, he probably is, but other times, we both are!
* Who cleans the house? Read the answer to 'Who cooks dinner' above (except substitute the word 'cooking' for the word 'cleaning')

Even though we both have our little quirks, we are both very patient with each other. I'm grateful for Jeff and how patient he is with me. I love being with him and the fun times we have together. I'm grateful how hard he works at his job and that he got this new job (that he'll start in 1 1/2 weeks) that will hopefully make it to where I can work just part-time or not work at all for when we start having children. I'm grateful that he wants to make enough for me not to work and to support the family that we'll have. I'm grateful that he works so hard in his church calling (as Elders Quorum secretary)... the Elders Quorum President has said that he's grateful for Jeff and all that he does. I'm grateful that he has such a wonderful family. I'm just grateful for Jeff and the wonderful man he is!

Here is another picture from our Disneyland honeymoon trip from almost 2 years ago....


I love you, Jeff!!!
