<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\nWhat is his name?
David Russell Vollmer.<\/p>\n
How long have you been married?
13 1\/2 years.<\/p>\n
How long did you date?
About 1 1\/2 years.<\/p>\n
How old is he?
33.5 – yes, he’s a tad younger, but it’s definitely fun that way!<\/p>\n
How old are you?
34.5<\/p>\n
Who eats more sweets?
That’s a tough one. He’s the family chocoholic, but I can put away the Halloween candy like no tomorrow, if left unchecked!<\/p>\n
Who said I love you first?
He did. In a Valentine’s Day card 15 years ago today. (“Awwwww”)<\/p>\n
Who is taller?
Dave<\/p>\n
Who can sing better?
We’re about even. We both have a good time belting it out in church, but you probably won’t hear us otherwise.<\/p>\n
Who is smarter?
Dave’s the almost-PhD man. But one could argue that a piece of paper does not equal smarts. Seriously, though, Dave’s pretty brilliant and I couldn’t be more proud!<\/p>\n
Who does the laundry?
Usually me. I just recently signed Dave off as being trained on our washer\/dryer.<\/p>\n
Who does the dishes?
Usually me, since he is bathing the kids at the same time. If I slack off or if there’s a dish he needs, he’ll do them. Or, if Dave needs a favor, he’ll surprise me and do them.<\/p>\n
Who pays the bills?
I do. I have been thinking recently that if I were somehow incapacitated, it’d be good if Dave could do our bills. It’s a combination of auto-pay, Quicken and Web Bill Pay.<\/p>\n
His guilty pleasure?
Chocolate and a good beer.<\/p>\n
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
If “right” is defined as by one standing at the foot of the bed, that would be Dave.<\/p>\n
Who mows the lawn?
I usually do. Up till NC, it was exclusively Dave but the allergies here have been horrible on him. It’s a sight to see, all these men mowing the lawns, and my next door neighbor (single woman) and I mowing our lawns at the end of the cul-de-sac.<\/p>\n
Besides you, who is his best friend?
Joe, one of his PSU roommates.<\/p>\n
Who cooks dinner?
Usually me, but he gets a hankerin’ to mess around in the kitchen sometimes and he has a good time. He’s wanting to learn more about cooking, especially with wholesome, natural ingredients, which I think is great.<\/p>\n
Who drives?
I do more often, because he can read books in the car and I get carsick if I do anything besides look out the window.<\/p>\n
Who kissed who first?
I’m really not sure — it might have been one of those movie-moment-style mutual first kisses.<\/p>\n
Who asked who out first?
Dave asked me.<\/p>\n
What was your first date?
The movie “Gettysburg”. Not recommended for a first date, it’s a 4-hour long war epic.<\/p>\n
Who proposed?
Dave. At the Victorian Manor restaurant in Bellefonte, PA. It was in front of everyone and I was very embarassed by all the attention.<\/p>\n
Who has more siblings?
We each have one sibling. Dave has an older brother, I have a younger sister.<\/p>\n
Who wears the pants?
Dave.<\/p>\n
What is your favorite thing about him?
That he makes me happy, he treats me with respect, and he’s awesome with our boys.<\/p>\n
