Tag Team Back Again

So, I got tagged. I guess that means I'm supposed to answer these personal questions and put them on my blog for everyone to see? Ok, here goes:

What is your husband's name? Justin Page Taylor


How long have you been together? Friends first, dated for 6ish months, engaged for less than 3 months, married for 7 months

Who said "I love you" first? That would be me. He didn't say it back right away, but then said it over the phone the next day - we were living 250 miles apart at the time

Who is smarter? I am smart enough not to answer THAT question!


Who does the housework? Justin does a lot. I would say he does about 60% and I do about 40%


Who sleeps on the right? Justin, and mostly backwards with his feet on his pillow and his head at the end of the bed

Who pays the bills? Me


Who cooks dinner? That's about even steven. We like to cook together


Who drives when you are together? J-dawg


Who is more stubborn? Me! Justin is so easy going. He would do anything for me


Who kissed who first? This has been up for debate since it happened! I say he did, he says I did. How do we get confused on this? It's a long story!!!

Who proposed? Justin of course. I was at Tucci's at our annual Steadman Family Dinner with all the 20+ grandkids (my grandparents take us all out together on one day of the year for all our birthdays) and we went out on the stairs in the courtyard to take a picture after dinner and there was Justin at the bottom of the stairs with a dozen red roses and a HUGE sign 2 1/2' by 4' that said "Melissa, I love you. Will you Marry me?" I was completely shocked! And the reason he was able to pull it off and surprise me was because he planned it about 2 hours before. I know him so well, that if he had been planning it any longer than that, I would have totally known it was coming. It was perfect!

Who has more siblings? Justin - he has 4. One older sister, one younger sister, and one younger brother. I have 2 bros

Who wears the pants? He has one leg. I have the other!


Tag, you're it!

Happy 30th Birthday!

That's right. This is what I wake up to every morning. So can you blame me for wanting to brag a little? Happy Belated Birthday to my sweetie! I knew exactly what I was getting into when I married this guy!

He cooks, washes dishes - ours and other people's, does laundry, lets me watch whatever I want to on TV, loves my family, loves HIS family, would spend every minute with me if he could, and tells me I am beautiful first thing in the morning. He's an unbelievable friend, loyal, honest - I really don't think he could tell a lie if he tried. In fact, he did try once when he wanted to surprise me and he still couldn't do it. He's sincere, light-hearted, playful, authentic, thoughtful - the other day he brought home a new skirt for me, just because. He is always serving other people, he's humble, talented - yeah one of those people who is good at everything - sickening!, always happy, has never lost his temper, works hard, plays hard, and DANG he is hot! But most important, he really does love me.

Baby I love you so much. I don't know what I did right, but my life is a fairytale with a happy ending because of you. Happy Birthday!

P.S. I am in so much trouble for putting up that picture!
