My Man

In light of the anniversary of our engagement (on the 10th) and a very important birthday (on the 11th), I thought I'd do a little write-up about the man in the spotlight!

[the source of the questions is a "husband tag" i ran across in another blog]

What is his name? Andrew Paul Heitmann

How long have you been married? It will be 2 years next August

How long did you date? Well....depends who you ask. Officially…18 months minus 10 days from ‘ok, you can call me your girlfriend’ to ‘I Do.’

How old is he? 25

Who eats more? He eats more veggies, but I eat a greater quantity of food in general

Who said I love you first? I did – and almost shocked the socks off of him!

Who is smarter? Andy, for sure. (don’t listen if he argues this!)

Whose temper is worse? Andy

Who does the dishes? Both of us - although if they have to be washed by hand, he avoids it like the plague

Who does the laundry? He sorts, I usually do the rest, unless he’s around when I decide it’s time to put it away

Who sleeps on the “alarm” side of the bed? Andy. I never knew a snooze button could be used so much! Now I just ignore the alarm altogether and let him tell me when it’s really time to get up.

Who pays the bills? I usually do, but he's very capable as well if I could just leave them alone until the due date is imminent.

Who cooks dinner? Hmmm. He did 95% of the time for the first…9 months or so. That was nice, but he was getting burned out. So lately, I’ve been doing more of my share. (he’s better at it though!)

Who drives when you are together? Andy does and is quite good at it too. You should see the fellow back a trailer!

Who is more stubborn? Andy. I’m blaming it on his competitiveness.

Whose parents do you see the most? Andy’s – by a long shot. Mine are 9 hours away. His – only 1 hour or 7 hours.


Who proposed? Andy – two years ago yesterday

Who has more friends? Ummm…he has more in this area since he’s lived here all his life. If we tallied…? He would probably still have more, although I claim all of his as mine too!

Who has more siblings? Haha! Well let’s see. . . I think I’ve got him beat.

Who wears the pants in the family? What an odd question! He calls me Boss, I call him Sir, so maybe we share the family pants…?


But, seriously...How can you not love a guy who...Hasn't forgotten how to be a kid...
Has such a passion for learning that his skills and hobbies are endless...
Is determined enough to not give up, even when it's rough...
Has this endearing genuine smile ;) ...
Has an infectious sense of adventure...
...and can make you laugh any day of the week!!


Happy Birthday Andyman!!
