Today it has been a year since Ben and I went on our first date after I got home from my mission. Tender I know! haha So here’s to my man!
What is his name? Benton Deloss Crane
How long have you been married? Eight months and one day!
Who long did you date? 2 months before I left for my mission, and five weeks before he proposed after the mission.
How old is he? 25
How old are you? 23
Who eats more sweets? It depends. If Ben is in his “snacking mood” then he for sure does. If he’s not then I do. He definitely loves Veggies more than I do!
Who said “I love you” first? Ben did. I waited for a moment to make sure I really meant it and that I wasn’t just saying it in response. I found out later that that made him nervous and he thought maybe he said it too soon. I just wanted to make him sweat a little. 🙂
Who is taller? Ben
Who can sing better? Ben, but it’s not hard to sing better than me.
Who is smarter? Ben for sure! He is so diligent and loves learning.
Who does the laundry? Me
Who does the dishes? Ben, which is ironic because he used to pay his siblings to do his dishes on his dish night. Now he would rather clean up than cook and I love it!
Who pays the bills? Last semester I did. This semester he does.
His guilty pleasures? Maple bars and chocolate donuts from Winder Dairy.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Ben
Besides you, who is his best friend? Jeff Harmon. Those two could philosophize forever!!
Who cooks dinner? Me. However, Ben has been really great when I’ve been sick because of the baby.
Who drives? Ben has this thing about riding with people. There are only a few select people he doesn’t mind riding along with. I am not one of them!
Who is more stubborn? How funny we were just talking about this the other day. Him! 🙂
Who kissed who first? Ben kissed me first. He couldn’t resist!
Who asked who out first? We were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend. she gave him my number and he called. I said no and then later called him and asked him out. It’s a long story!
What was your first date? We jumped on his motorcycle and went and watched some fireworks. Little did he know those were two of my favorite things. Motorcycles and fireworks! Later we went back to his house and talked and played some games.
Who proposed? Ben. On my parents driveway while I was wearing his sweatpants after we spent the night at his parents house. haha
Who has more siblings? Ben has five other siblings. I only have one.
Who wears the pants? Ben, but I buckle the belt. 🙂
What is your favorite thing about him? Everything! Ben is such a hard worker and a good lover. Everyone said that I would love him more as time went on but I wasn’t sure how that would be possible because I loved him so much already when we got married. Now I know!
Love ya Benton!
