Husband Tag

I haven't been good about blogging again. So here are a bunch in a row. Here is Cara's tag all about our husbands. And since she and I married brothers the answers are remarkably similar!


1. What is his name? JaDee Brent Moncur
2. Who eats more? He does but I have gained more weight in our 12 years together…I guess that’s what happens when you carry 3 of his children for 9 months
3. Who said I love you first? I did.
4. Who is taller? He is. He is 6’0 I am 5’0.
5. Who is smarter? Me in history and English and definitely spelling…Him in math, science and good common sense!
6. Who is more sensitive? Maybe him. I
7.Who does the laundry? I do. But he is a great folder during college football and basketball seasons.
8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does. I have the left and have since we were first married.
9. Who pays the bills? He takes care of most of them. I take care of anything medical or dental
10. Who cooks more? I do. I love to cook. Like Mitchell, JaDee can actually cook really well. He and his brother have “The Gift” of concocting original recipes. Most we don’t remember how to make again. He is the better dessert maker and baker.
11. What meals do you cook together? Cake, and mashed potatoes (I can’t make gravy very well).
12. Who is more stubborn? It's a toss-up! We're both a little stubborn, and sadly we passed this on to all 3 of our children.
13. Who is the first to admit they're wrong? I am first to admit JaDee is wrong.
14. Who has more siblings? JaDee, he has 5, I have 4.
15. Who wears the pants in the relationship? I don't really know. Like Cara, I am pretty bossy by nature (shocked anyone?). But JaDee is so easy-going and we discuss most everything before anything is decided.
16. What do you like to do together? Recently its been running. We also love movies (go NetFlicks!), and going on trips. We also love IKEA! And drawing houseplans.
17. Who eats more sweets? Oh definitely JaDee. He has a big bowl of ice cream every night. However I have to have chocolate most days.
18. Guilty pleasures? Late night mindless movies like Nacho Libre.
19. How did you meet? My roommate Carrie and I threw a huge Halloween Party our sophomore year at BYU. We invited his apartment because they were in our ward. We started hanging out and ended up hiking Arches alone in early December after the rest of the group flaked and left us. See the next question for the rest of the story.
20. Who asked who out first? So while we were hiking Arches I realized I really like this guy. Like maybe a lot. So then I started feeling all weird around him because we had been just friends for like the past 2 months. He asked me out by ourselves later that week to see the Forgotten Carols, Christmas program. It was all downhill after that.
21. Who kissed who first? I think he did.
22. Who proposed? JaDee did. He came to the Testing Center (where I worked) and after I had said I loved the way the guy proposed to Sandra Bullock in While You Were Sleeping (he flicks a ring into the subway coin slot at the teller station where she worked instead of handing her the change or his pass). So at BYU you have to hand the worker your ID to scan and open the test. Well JaDee handed me an engagement ring on the counter. He had already talked to my supervisor who had someone coming in for me. So I left work that night, we went to Olive Garden where there were dozen roses and a whole section closed off for us!
23. His best features? His pretty blue eyes, his red curly hair, and of course, his manly physique.
24. What is his greatest quality? He is very patient with ME!!! I tend to rely on him to keep me from freaking out. I lean on him tons. He doesn’t mind when I go out with my friends and he is so good with my kids when they are little like Olivia. I have to handle them once they turn 5. Which works out because some days, God bless her, she drives me NUTS!
25. Tag: Tonya. And KIM START A BLOG WITH THIS ONE!
