Sure I talk about Scott a fair bit, and recently told you how we met. But I know you are dying for more info, more knowledge, more of what makes Scott and Sara tick! So here's a Q&A, as seen on one of my very favorite websites, All & Sundry:
What are your middle names?
Mine is Jean. Scott doesn't have one.
How long have you been together?
This month is the 11th anniversary of our first date. We started dating in 1998, moved in together in 1999, got engaged in 2000 and married in 2001.
How long did you know each other before you started dating?
I have a bad memory, but I think 2 or 3 years? We used to work together at a restaurant in Calgary. He was a cook, I was a waitress.
Who asked whom out?
He asked me out, with much prodding from our work friends.
How old are each of you?
Why? What does that matter? Will that somehow affect your opinion of me? Perhaps I am a little sensitive today after being called ma'am twice. TWICE! We are the same age until next week, when Scott will be older than me until September. That's all you're getting.
Whose siblings do you see the most?
I am an only child, so that would be Scotts.
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
Division of responsibility.
Did you go to the same school?
No.
Are you from the same home town?
No. Scott was born and lived in Calgary until we moved to BC in 2007. I was born in BC, moved to Alberta, moved back to BC, moved back to Alberta, and we are now in BC and never moving again, Buddha willing.
Who is smarter?
We both outsmart the other in different areas.
Who is the most sensitive?
100% me.
Where do you eat out most as a couple?
We don't eat out that often, but the last 2 times we have gone out for lunch it's been to a restaurant called Oya for bimimbop, my new favorite dish in the whole world.
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Hawaii.
Who has the craziest exes?
Me.
Who has the worst temper?
Me.
Who does the cooking?
Me.
Who is the neat-freak?
Neither of us are freaks, but Scott has developed this annoying habit of sometimes needing to tidy up when nothing's really messy. Like if he's read the paper and I don't pick it up 10 seconds after he's done, he recycles it. Or if I take my sweater off and put in on the couch, he has to hang it up. However, the waffle maker can sit on the kitchen counter for a week and he won't put it away. But God help us if I put a book on the chair that no one ever sits in. That's got to be moved right away.
Who is more stubborn?
Me.
Who hogs the bed?
Neither of us.
Who wakes up earlier?
Me. I have trouble sleeping. If I sleep until 8 on a weekend, it's cause for celebration.
Where was your first date?
We went to see Titanic.
Who is more jealous?
Neither of us.
How long did it take to get serious?
Not very long. We would have moved in together much sooner, but I had a roommate and I was concerned about if she would be ok on her own, even though I didn't want to live with her anymore, and Scott had 2 roommates renting a house that he was worried wouldn't be able to cover the rent without him. That is one of my biggest faults, is thinking I am not worth putting myself ahead of other people.
Who eats more?
Scott eats larger portions than me (most of the time) and he snacks more.
Who does the laundry?
Me.
Who’s better with the computer?
Me. Scott doesn't have much interest in computers or the internet. Can you imagine????
Who drives when you are together?
We used to split the driving about 50/50, but Scott has an ongoing injury which requires him to take medication, so I do all the driving now, and he's my little backseat driver. Which is super fun.
