I think it's a pretty big toss up between the two of us. Derek may look tough be he's really a big softy.

11. Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
We went to Knoxville, TN for our honeymoon. I was sick the entire weekend though.

We also went to Chicago to see his mom. I'm not sure which one is further. It's about 8 hours either way.

12. Who has the worst temper?

Derek definitely has the worst temper. He is quick to get mad but gets over it pretty quick. I on the other hand don't get mad as easy but it takes me A LOT longer to get over it.

13. How many children do you want?
He would like to have 1 but I would really like to have 2. 

We're working on this one.

14. Who does the cooking?
More often than not I cook but he has been pitching in lately since he has been on a diet and I most certainly AM NOT!

Definitely me, he is more of a recluse and likes to stay home.

16. Who is the neat freak?
Derek. I like my stuff clean but I'm not a freak about it.

17. Who is the most stubborn?
Derek! He is about as stubborn as they come. I'm a total push over.

18. Who wakes up earlier?
Derek usually wakes up at 6:30 M-F and I wake up at 6:15 if I need a shower. If not I wake up at 7. 

On weekends we take turns getting to sleep in. Usually on Saturdays I wake up early and Sundays he wakes early.

19. Where was your first date?
I made him come over and eat dinner with me and my Dad. He was not very happy about that little change in plans. I told him we could go out but instead we stayed home with my dad. :)
