I was tagged a long, long, long time ago by Jenni to do this. After seeing other people do it, I figured it was high time to brag about my better half. I'm not going to tag anyone to do it, but if you feel so inclined to go for it!1. What is his name? Kyle P. Mammen
2. How long have you been together? Almost 6 1/2 years
3. How long did you date? We met in January of 2001, started dating at the end of March, were engaged at the end of July, and married in November.
4. How old is he? 29...yep, he hits the big 3-0 this year. (He's not excited.)
5. Who eats more? I eat more chocolate, he eats more of pretty much everything else.
6. Who is taller? Kyle...much taller! (Hence, the tall genes that are showing up in our kids.)
7. Who said, "I Love You" first? He did. And I said something along the lines of, "Ummm...thanks!"
8. Who does the laundry? Usually me, but he never hesitates to pitch in when he's home.
9. Who does the dishes? Whoever doesn't cook gets to clean, so since he cooks quite a bit, we take turns doing dishes.
10. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you're facing our bed, he does...closer to the door to protect me from invaders.
11. Who pays the bills? Moi.
12. Who mows the lawn? He does. I think I've mowed maybe twice since we've moved here! I just hate it.
13. Who cooks dinner? I usually cook during the week, and he cooks on the weekends.
14. Who sings better? I think we both sing pretty well.
15. Who drives when you are together? Kyle does...he's yet to ever get us lost!
16. Who is more stubborn? Ha ha! I think we'd both win awards for being the most stubborn!
17. Who is smarter? Definitely Kyle. He is a walking encyclopedia.
18. Who kissed whom first? Kyle kissed me first, although he doesn't count it as our first kiss...but I do! We were watching a movie with some people at my apartment and I walked him out afterwards and he gave me a quick kiss on the side of my mouth. I was totally shocked and flattered at the same time! I probably turned bright red since we hadn't even been on our first official date yet! About a week later is what Kyle claims was our first kiss.
19. Who proposed to whom? Kyle did. My sister was staying with my aunt and uncle in Utah for a little while and invited me to come and hang out one weekend while Kyle was in Park City working. When I arrived with big plans to do some laundry while we hung out, I was surprised to see Kyle there. My sister grabbed my basket of dirty clothes, Kyle brought me into my aunt and uncle's dining room with lit candles and sparkling cider, sat me down, got down on one knee, and proposed. Afterwards we had a fancy dinner at Thanksgiving Point.
20. Who has more friends? Me. Hello? I'm a girl and he's a guy.
21. Who wears the pants in the family? Pants? Ha ha!
22. Who has more siblings? Me. Kyle is the second of four kids in his family, and I'm the oldest of five.

Fun to read! You guys make a cute couple.
Oh, I SO remember the day of the proposal. Kyle asked E and me to pack you an overnight bag since staying at your aunt's was going to be a surprise. When you came home and found your toothbrush, curling iron, and other personal effects missing you starting freaking out. What memories.
Okay, to clarify the first kiss story.
Laura and I had been hanging out with our group of friends pretty much every night for a week. We'd also climbed the "Y" as just the two of us the night before, not an official "date" but close enough. Also, thanks to our unsubtle friend Ginger, I knew that Laura liked me.
Saturday evening we were watching either Tarzan or Toy Story II (I can't remember, I was distracted) and Laura and I were next to each other on the couch. About half-way through the movie we started holding hands (oh this is such a BYU story).
After the movie, Laura said she would walk me out. On her doorstep she gave me a hug, so I pecked her on the cheek. I also got part of her lips, so Laura counts it as a mouth kiss.
Our REAL first kiss was in the BYU botanical garden on Monday after FHE. I count that one because she kissed me back that time.
