Where you first met: In an AOL chatroom; so last century! In person was at the Ft Lauderdale airport.
How did you meet: He commented on something in the chat, and I replied to him, and we started talking.
First date: At a small Cafe on Las Olas in Ft Lauderdale July 11, 1999.
How many years together: We celebrated twenty years last fall.
Age difference: I am one year older than Carlos.
Who was interested first: I think it was mutual while online, but when we moved to speaking by phone, his accent sealed the deal for me.
Who is taller: I am.
Most obnoxious in-laws: I like his family, and he likes mine, so I don’t think we have obnoxious in-laws.
Who said “I Love you” first: I think it may have been Carlos.
Worst temper: I have the worst temper though I do keep it in check. Carlos is VERY easy-going.
Most sensitive: Definitely me.
Most annoying habit: He doesn’t listen and I talk to much, so maybe our annoying habits feed off each other?
Most forgiving: We are good at fighting, getting it out, and moving on. I think this is a tie.
Loudest: Utterly and always me … even when he plays the trumpet!
Who has the most useless facts: My father says my head is filled with superfluous data so I win this one!
Funniest: I am more often funny, but when Carlos gets funny, it’s hilarious because it’s unexpected.
Who wears the pants in the family: We each take control of the things in out little family; one rule we have kind of explains that: I take care of what goes INTO the cats, and he takes care of what comes OUT of them.
Most stubborn: Me.
Falls asleep first: Carlos falls asleep in seconds.
Most impatient: Me.
Better driver: Since Carlos no longer drives because of his vision, it’s clearly me!
Biggest neat freak: Neither and both?
Most social: Carlos. I don’t like people; I kid. But I am more of a loner, homebody person.
Least likely to remember to do what the other one asks him to do: Carlos. I have a fabulous memory!
Most competitive: Carlos.
Best cook: I am a better cook, while Carlos, as I like to say, is a MasterBaker. He’d be MasterBaking all day long if he could.
Who is the handy-person: Carlos is the fixer, while I am the painter in the family.
xoxo to you both!!!
