On Us.

This is a picture of me and Eric at Prom. NOT getting married, like tons of people who see this photo think.
**Edited to add – I know my dress looks white, but it’s actually a very light, periwinkle blue. Check out the Prom link above to see more pictures
This fun meme was borrowed from The Melodramatic. A little bit about me and Eric!
What are your middle names?
Marion and James
How long have you been together?
On and off since February 2005 and consistently together since May 2006. High school relationship, enough said.
How long did you know each other before you started dating?
Well, we’ve technically “known” each other since we were about six years old. We were good friends for about six months before we started dating, though.
Who asked whom out?
He asked me out.
How old are each of you?
I’m 21 and Eric just turned 23.
Whose siblings do you see the most?
Well when we are in Fort St. John we spend a lot of time with Eric’s sister and her kids and we also see my brother a lot. Both of our families live in FSJ so when we are both there we spend a lot of time with all of them. Eric has an older brother and an older sister and I have a younger brother.
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
Definitely being in a long-distance relationship; it can be very draining on a relationship especially after a few weeks have gone by. When we first started dating money was a big issue, but not so much anymore, oh, and when we lived together it was CHORES! I was a bit of a nag when it came to chores.
Did you go to the same school?
Yup, several times! We went to the same elementary school from Grade 1 to Grade 10 (Eric was a grade above me) then we went to the same high school (Grades 11 and 12), where we started dating, and then we went to the same University (TRU in Kamloops) for four months!
Are you from the same home town?
Yup, we both grew up in Fort St. John, BC, Canada. Well, actually we grew up about 45-minutes outside of town in a couple of small communities. The houses that we grew up in are six miles apart from each other.
Who is smarter?
Ha, well it depends who you ask, we’d each tell you differently. To be completely honest, I’d say we are both smart but in different ways. I’m better at the writing/English side of thing, he’s really good at things like drawing, building things, math etc. Actually, in all honesty, Eric’s probably smarter then me, I just work harder at school-type things. I also read more and I think that people who read tend to be more knowledgeable about things but not necessarily smarter.
Who is the most sensitive?
Me. Definitely.
Where do you eat out most as a couple?
I think we get Japanese, Chinese of fast food the most!
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Hazelton in August 2007 for his sister’s wedding. It was a great trip – 10-12 hours driving each way.
Who has the craziest exes?
Hahahaha. Definitely me.
Who has the worst temper?
We both have pretty bad tempers. He tends to be more of the broody, silent-treatment, stays-mad-for-days type of temper. I have the screams-out-loud, throws-things, has-a-hissy-fit, is-over-it-in-10-minutes type of temper.
Who does the cooking?
I do more often but Eric is an AWESOME cook. It’s a real treat when he cooks for me!
Who is the neat-freak?
Me; Eric does a good job cleaning when he wants to, but he tends to leave things lying around. I’m a neat-freak and like to have everything clean and tidy on a regular basis. See above question about us fighting over chores.
Who is more stubborn?
We both are, but Eric is definitely more stubborn than I am. He has “silent treatment” down to an art form.
Who hogs the bed?
Definitely me, I like to be spread out when I’m sleeping!
Who wakes up earlier?
Once again, me; I’m a morning person. Eric is not.
Where was your first date?
Our first official date was on Valentines Day, 2005. We went and saw Boogeyman and he brought me a pink rose. I was 16!
Who is more jealous?
Me! I am a very jealous person, Eric is not. At least not that he lets on.
How long did it take to get serious?
Well we probably got serious too fast, which resulted in us being in an on-and-off relationship for the first year. But I guess we’ve always been pretty serious, we lived together for the first time when I was only 18 (we’d been together over two years, though).
Who eats more?
Usually Eric does, but I eat A LOT sometimes.
Who does the laundry?
When we lived together I did. I actually enjoy laundry.
Who’s better with the computer?
I guess it kind of depends what we’re doing on it. Eric is really technical and is amazing at designing graphics and logo’s; he created the picture on my blog header. I’m better at things like social media, researching things online etc.
Who drives when you are together?
It used to always be Eric that drove but after we got in our accident last November I started driving more. Now it just depends. I drove the all summer because it was my car, but when I’m in Fort St. John Eric drives pretty much everywhere!
If you have an S.O. you should totally do this on your blog and then let me know, or answer a couple of questions in the comments. If you don’t have an S.O., answer questions r.e. a previous S.O. or tell me if any of these answers surprised you?









This was fun to read. That picture is adorable & you totally look like you are getting married in that photo!
I also love doing laundry. It’s kind of relaxing for me. I did my last serious boyfriend’s laundry & alot of my friends thought that was so stepford wives’ish, but it was a way that I could kind of take care of him.
Happy Friday!!
Jean and Denney
March 27th, 1999 (on and off for the first few years, though)
technically since we were 3, but more since 7th grade
he asked me
28
my sister (she still lives with my parents)
college was rough for us – we broke up 8 times!
yup – middle school, high school, and college for two years
yup, and now we’ve moved back!
I have no idea – he thinks I am, but he looks at current affaris more than I do
I am more sensitive
Longhorn Steakhouse
Hawaii for our honeymoon
neither one of us has really crazy exes
we both have bad tempers – he gets mad over how things are expressed and I get mad over the things themselves
we both do, but I probably do more of it – and I plan most of the meals
I am the “neat freak” – he’ll do a cleanup in no time flat, but it’s just shoving things places
I am more stubborn
he hogs the bed
he wakes up earlier on weekdays, I do on weekends
Our first date was to a high school musical called Children of Eden
I am more jealous
we got serious pretty quickly … he told me he loved me (and me to him) after about 3 months
we can both pack food away … but my metabolism makes it look more like I don’t
I do the laundry … blech
He’s way better with the computer
And he drives when we’re together
Okay seriously–how cute are you two?????
