Made in Richmond

What are your middle names?

Mine is Lynn. His is Adam.

How long have you been together?

We started dating when I was 15 and he was 16. We broke up a year later and got back together a year after that. So we’ve been romantically involved in some way for twelve years HOLY HELL.

How long did you know each other before you started dating?

I think we met freshman year of high school maybe? So like a year maybe? Clearly it happened before I was capable of formulating memories.

Who asked whom out?

I didn’t ask guys out, so I’m assuming he asked me.

How old are each of you?

I’m 27. He’s 28. WIN.

Whose siblings do you see the most?

Definitely mine as he is an only child.

Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?

That would be raising another person. And how he can’t remember anything. Ever.

Did you go to the same school?

Middle school and high school, yes. College, no. He went to Virginia Tech and I went to the University of Richmond.

Are you from the same home town?

Nope. Ross was born in West Virginia and grew up all over. I’ve been in Richmond my entire life.

Who is smarter?

Ross is smarter with numbers and logic and general nerdery. I’m smarter when it comes to words and remembering important things like who was in that movie one time with Edward James Olmos.

Who is the most sensitive?

That would be me. Not because I’m overly-sensitive, but rather that Ross is a robot.

Where do you eat out most as a couple?

We’re too poor to eat out. SOB.

Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?

Dominican Republic

Who has the craziest exes?

Well since Ross dated everyone IN THE WORLD, his exes are more likely to be crazier because there are so many of them. Odds and all.

Who has the worst temper?

Me. I’m a yeller, a door-slammer, and walker-offer.

Who does the cooking?

Ross. I make toast. That’s about it.

Who is the neat-freak?

Neither one of us, really. This is why we don’t have people over much.

Who is more stubborn?

Probably me. Except when it comes to calling for pizza. Ross just won’t do it. He says it’s because he’s afraid he won’t be able to answer any questions they ask them. Because pizza places are known for their interrogation skills.

Who hogs the bed?

Neither one of us. In fact, I sleep on the very edge of the bed for some reason.

Who wakes up earlier?

Me because I have to feed the hoss-child with my body.

Where was your first date?

We ate at Applebee’s and saw a movie. YAY SUBURBS!

Who is more jealous?

Me. Jealousy is not a rational emotion. Ross is not programmed for irrational processes.

How long did it take to get serious?

Not long, I guess? But we were 15 and 16, so what does that mean?

Who eats more?

Lately me because of the whole pregnancy thing and then nursing thing.

Who does the laundry?

I do. In fact I seem to recall a situation in which Ross and his dad were fixing something on the washing machine and they had to call me into the room to turn it on and check to see if it was working. BECAUSE NEITHER ONE OF THEM KNEW HOW.

Who’s better with the computer?

He is. I would hope so, too, because he’s a web developer.

Who drives when you are together?

Me. Ross gets nervous when driving. Then again, he also gets nervous when he’s just a passenger. Our rides are often peppered with exclamations of “OHMYGODWEAREGOINGTODIE,” and “WEWILLNEVERFINDPARKINGLET’SJUSTGOHOME.”
