What is your husband's name? David Keath Bills. Keath is his dad's name. The story it's the last name of the nurse that helped deliver him, hence the strange spelling.
How long have you been together? Married 33 years on June 20th. It's been very long:) We met September 7, 1974. Engaged in March and married in the LA Temple in June. Our oldest daughter, Amber, was 8 days old on our first anniversary and Father's Day! I told Dave that was all he was getting from me!
How long did you date? Whoops, I got ahead of the question. Typical Mormon standard time!
Who eats more? That's a tough one. I eat more at one sitting, He just sits a lot longer!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is the King of the BUFFET!
Who is taller? He is, 6 foot 1 inch
Who has more speeding tickets? He does for sure! I've only had one ticket my whole life, it was uncalled for too!!!! Dave is the worst driver in the world. I think he's trying to get better, but I prefer not to think about it. What's the use?
Who is smarter? Me, I at least stay away from cops! We're both smart enough. Thankfully, we compliment eachother. When I'm being really dumb, he's smart. When he's really dumb, I'm smart. Heaven help us if we're both dumb at the same time. It's been known to happen.
Who is more sensitive? I looked it up in the dictionary (where does Heather get that from?) Sensitive: accutely responsive to certain sensation (do I really need to go there?) responsive to the feelings and attitude of others, (Totally me! ) appreciative of aesthetic or intellectual qualities, ( huh?) easily irritated or offended (interesting....we both are easily irritated if we're tired and sometimes we're too tired to take offense.
Who does the laundry? We all do our own. When I went back to school 12 years ago, everyone had to do their own laundry if they wanted clean clothes to wear. The family was very supportive and did that to help me out. It's just continued and I haven't offered to change it.
Who does the dishes? Mostly me, but Dave will always step in and help me out when I've worked too much or am just plain wiped out. He will always do them if I ask him to. One thing he insists on doing is asking me if the dishes in the dishwasher are clean. Bugs me. I need one of those little magnets that tells the person if the dishes are clean or dirty. He's been known to eat off of dirty dishes....that's because I rinse them too much before putting them in the dishwasher.
Who sleeps on the right? If you're in the bed looking over your feet, then it's me. Hope that makes your day better:)
.Who pays the bills? Dave does. Having been self employed for 26 years, he had to. We never knew when money was coming and how much. Really annoying! I could have tried, but I'd just have to ask him when someone was going to pay him for a plumbing job. Now he has a new career as a teacher and a monthly paycheck. I still let him pay the bills. Afterall it was his last name first!
Who mows the lawn? Juan Acevedo! Best thing we've ever done!!!!! Our backs can't take the bending. We used to pay our son weekly, but Juan is a better deal and way better at it!! Love it!
Who cooks dinner? Whoever is home and hungry! Dave will always fix something to help me out. Since I'm working less, I've really been into cooking. Everyone can do their own laundry and cook. Self preservation I guess.
Who drives when you are together? ME!!!!!!!!!! Remember the previous question????? It saves our marriage, insurance premiums, car, and my sanity. Dave can sleep anywhere and does. I can't, so I drive.
Who is more stubborn? Me I guess. But I'm right more often, can't seem to avoid that:) He's not stubborn, he just doesn't care about stuff as much as I do. Easy for him.
Who kissed whom first? Dave kissed me first, second, third, fourth, fifth to infinity......................He was a huge kisser while we were dating. Still tries to be........Do people our age still make out????
Who asked who out first? He asked me, but we went to my cousins wedding reception instead.
Who proposed? He did, but I knew it was happening. He ran to a neighbor's to borrow some champagne type glasses to put Red Baby soda pop into. My ring was the flip top off the soda can, wrapped in yarn! I wore that until I picked out my ring......don't laugh, but my mom and his mom both came to the jewelry store when I picked it out. That's really weird! I still have the soda pop top! When of my lucky daughters will inherit it. Don't all fight over it at once!
Who has more siblings? He does. His family had 5. He's the middle. I have an older sister and brother. I'm the baby.
Well, thanks, this was fun. I'm not sure how many people will see it. I only have my three daughters on my blog list. I hope everyone reading this can be married as long as we have. It just takes lots of love, patience, and tons of laughter!!!! Follow the commandments and attend the church and the temple as a couple...all else can be worked out.
