I know I posted today but I saw this on Natasha's blog and had to play:
What is his name?-
Jay Calvin Harper
How long have you been together?-
24 years on Feb. 19th. ( Now Natasha, that is downright scary - Jay and I started on Presidents holiday, did you?)
How long did you date?-
4 years 6 monhts
How old is he?-
(I don't think he would like me to answer that one!)
Who eats more?-
Jay used to but I think we are about the same now.
Who is taller?-
That one is easy. Jay! I still fit under his chin unless I have heels on. Sunday I stood on the bottom step to hug him. I kind of liked it. I didn't have to reach up. He thought I was a bit silly.
Who said "I love you" first?-
Actually Jay did. I think I was shocked! I answered back but wasn't sure at the time that I meant it. It took me 2 days to figure out I really did.
Who does the laundry?-
Jay does...... Although we do have an ongoing argument about it. Neither of the us think the other does it right.
Who does the dishes?-
That is what kids are for.... Kidding.... Most of the time I do.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?-
I do... Jay likes to be closest to the bathroom but when we have tried it the other way, neither of us sleeps well.
Who pays the bills?-
I do..... I think we both hate to pay them equally though.
Who mows the lawn?-
Again, that is what kids are for.... Sometimes I do because I think it is fun.
Who cooks dinner?-
Jay does. I hate to cook and would rather do dishes... Whoever cooks doesn't have to clean, That is the deal!
Who sings better?-
Easy, Jay hands down... I couldn't sing if someone did it for me.
Who drives when you are together?-
Jay.... After all, he is the professional.
Who is more stubborn?-
That would be me.... I don't often really care but when I want something, I usually get my way.
Who is smarter?-
I think Jay is, but smart is relative. I am more creative. Jay is more intellectually intelligent but I have a better memory. When it comes to smarts, I am no slouch either. I think we compliment each other well.
Who kissed who first?-
I kissed Jay first..... He spent the next 10 minutes telling me how I had ruined everything that he was saving himself for marriage. I felt so bad, I can't believe actually believed him.....
Who Proposed?-
Jay did. I didn't believe him. He had to fly back to Utah for me to believe he was serious.
Who is more sensitive?-
I think Jay is.... I am more of a cynic.
Who has more friends?-
Me. But again friends are relative. Jay has friendships that have lasted 20+ years. Mine don't seem to last as long.
Who has more siblings?-
I do... Same 7 siblings as Greg. . . but Jay is close with 6 kids in his family.
Who wears the pants in the family?-
Jay does! Well, technically we both wear slacks but I do have dresses on sometimes.... hee hee hee. As for leadership in the family, we believe in equal opportunity to screw up.

Super Bowl Mania!
This year the super bowl is here in Arizona. Jay and I have always had mixed feelings about major events happening in our area. You like the excitement in the air but you hate the inconvience. This is no exception.
Jay had a meeting in downtown Phoenix yesterday only to discover jersey baracades around the Hyatt hotel for a two block radius. Seems the NFL is all staying in the Hyatt. They don't want anyone even driving around it for security reason. I can understand the risk and agree with the safety measures. But of course, living it is a pain in the pattootee!!!
We also hear a lot of complaints about the weather for the super bowl. Now, we have experience strange weather for this time of year. I have seen more rain in the last two weeks than the previous 5 years we have been here. It has been cold, blustery, kind of damp. However, it is still Arizona. The highs are still in the 70's and come on.... the fans are from New York and Boston. This has to be heaven for them, even with a little rain!!.
As for the rest of us. Jaron is back in school, and Jace is out looking for a job. He is on leave from school until Fall 2008. Jay and I are living through our normal January. Just trying to keep going through the lazy days of winter. Nothing on television, nowhere to really go, just work. Kind of peaceful, I can't complain.

January
I haven't added to my blog in a long time, not that we didn't do anything but I always want to add pictures so I think I will wait until I get home. But on getting home, the last thing I want to do is work on the computer so hence, no updates. See the terrible cycle there!!!!
As for us, we had a wonderful Christmas with Greg, Natasha and Gavin here. It was so hard to see them leave. Everyone was home and being lazy this year. Gavin is such a doll and loved all the space. He didn't even cause any ruckus in an un-baby-proofed house. For New Years Eve Jay and I went to the Tempe Town Lake block party. We only stayed until about 10:00 when all the bowl game attendees started showing up. After that we went home to ring in the New Year with our boys. It was fun though. I think jay and I are getting used to hanging out as a couple again.
Last week Jay and I were in Virginia. Jay had an interview with a company starting light rail in Norfolk. I don't think anything will come of the interview, I really think it is too small of a system but we did have a great weekend together. We watched the new "National Treasure" movie at the Commodore theater in Portsmouth Virginia. It is one of the oldest working Art Deco dinner theaters and right next to Trinity Church. We went to the Jamestown Settlement, learned a lot about Pocahontas, John Smith, (she was only 12 when she met John Smith... No real love story). We also went to Colonial Williamsburg and toured all the Revolutionary war battlefields at Yorktown. Both Jay and I had been there before but not together. It was so fun to just spend time together. (Word to the wise.... It is so worth seeing all that history but avoid the wintertime. They don't do all the reenactments in the winter like they do in the summer.)
As for the boys, Jaron is back in school but Jace is still at home. He has worked out a medical leave from college for a few months while we work with his Neurologist in AZ to get his Migraine under control. Don't know what his plans are after that but that is the great thing about him being 19. I don't have to make them for him.... hee hee hee.
Tonight our Mutual age teens are all going to Jay's work to ride the train and tour the rail facility. Jay gets to play tour guide. I think it is hilarious but don't tell Jay that... He might just slap me!
