What is your husbands name? david thomas tullisHow long have you been married? almost 12 years.
How long did you date? depends on who you ask. we tend to differ on a few of the details, so here is a pretty detail-less version: we met when we were fourteen. we had a lot of fun in high school (plus some drama). we wrote about four times while he was on his mission. he got home and much to my surprise, we dated for about six weeks and then we were engaged...pretty much married the next day.
How old is he? 33
Who eats more sweets? i converted dave to a sweets-lover. when he got home from his mission he seemed to only eat granola, but now he can sniff out treat with the best of them.
Who said I love you first? dave. age 17. right before i had a sort-of date with someone else. one of my favorite memories.
Who is taller? dave- by four and 3/4 inches. i always thought we were the same size, but we're not.
Who can sing the best? dave is definitely a more exciting singer. he has made up some pretty silly songs. abe thinks they are hi-larious!
Who is smarter? dave is smarter, but i am wiser.
Who does the laundry? me. dave helps if the laundry pile is taking over the floor or if he runs out of garments...or if he can tell i just need help.
Who pays the bills? right now, dave. i did all through residency, but now that he is done with residency he wanted a shot at it. he keeps asking me to take it back, but he is doing so well...spreadsheets and everything. it's funny how differently we go about it.
Who mows the lawn? um, yard work is not really our strong point. when we had a lawn, it was whoever needed to feel like they accomplished something. now our yard has "natural" landscaping. it's great when it comes to yard work, but i am realizing i miss grass!
Who cooks dinner? both of us... i cook dinner, dave creates dinner. i cook so people aren't hungry and so we can eat dinner together. dave cooks more as a form of art. i really like when dave cooks.
Who drives? mostly dave.
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? we like to be on the same page, so we are both quick to say we're sorry. i appreciate that dave will keep talking to me until i feel like things are completely resolved.

Who kissed who first? dave kissed me ...we were sixteen...leaning against his yellow volkswagen bug...under the stars... about 2 am. i think he got grounded.
(this is a picture of our first, crazy date...dave picked me up in an old station wagon, decorated with fish and made us wear life jackets)
Who asked who out first? pre-mission: dave asked me to a dance in high school. post-mission: his mom called and asked my mom if he could take me out. he was at lake powell but wanted to make arrangements to take me to Les Miserables for my birthday. i was already going, so we hooked up later.
Who wears the pants? i asked the kids and abe said, "totally mom and max". i think dave tries to make me feel like i'm in charge, but really we are pretty good partners in crime.
