Get to know us

Valentine's Day at Cafe Sabor

I've been tagged. Thanks, Kath! But I don't think you can tag anyone if you weren't actually tagged yourself! =) Just kidding.

Rules: Answer and re-post the following questions about the man in your life.

What is his full name? Jacob Scott Nielsen

How long have you been married? 2 years, 2 months, and 3 days

How long did you date? Hmm...we were friends before my mission and when I got home we started dating "casually" (we dated other people) for 3 or 4 months then we dated seriously for four more months before we got engaged. So a total of eight months.

Who eats more sweets? I probably eat more candy than Jake but he can down a dozen homemade cookies without blinking! And I'm not exaggerating.

Who said I love you first? Jake did. Then I told him a few days later after we went miniature golfing.

How old is he? 27 1/2

Who is taller? Jake by 7 or 8 inches.

Who is smarter? It depends on the subject. Jake's smarter about some things and I'm smarter about others.

Who can sing better? We're probably equal on this. We can carry a tune but that's about it.

Who does the laundry? I do, but Jake helps when I don't feel like doing it. He also folds his garment tops because I hate folding those!

Who pays the bills? We both do.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you're on the bed, Jake does, if you're looking at it, I do.

Who mows the lawn? I do. This is one of my chores and I love doing it! I must get it from my dad.

Who cooks dinner? I usually do but Jakey always helps out. He is an excellent cook! He always makes the rolls on Sunday. He's much better at that than I am. He also makes some mean chocolate chip cookies.

Who drives? We both do. But even Jake would admit that I'm the better driver! =)

Who is more stubborn? Me, hands down. Jake doesn't have a stubborn bone in his body.

Who kissed who first? Jake kissed me after a few months of hints and teasing from me!

Who asked who out? I asked Jake out. I needed a date for New Year's Eve 2005 and he drove down to Salt Lake from Logan for it. (I later found out that he had other plans but changed them to go out with me. How sweet!)

Who proposed? My aunt Lori. Hahaha, long story. Jake officially proposed Aug. 27th, 2005. I had a dream a few months earlier that he sent me a ring in the mail to make sure I was surprised and I told him about that dream. He put my ring in a box like it was mailed to my house and after a really fun summer day full of mountain biking, tennis, eating out, and homemade ice cream he took me out on the front porch to talk. My mom came out and handed me a box that looked like it was sent from my companion Becky. I started opening it up real fast 'cause I love getting fun things in the mail! I didn't realize what was going on until I got to the little black box and opened it up and saw my ring! I was so surprised and I just kept asking Jake, "How did you do that?" 'cause I was sure he wasn't going to be able to surprise me. He told me he wanted to make all my dreams come true and proposed to me. It was so sweet!

Who has more siblings? I do, I have 4 and Jake has 3.

Who wears the pants? Depends on the day!

I tag Jenny, Audrey, Margi, Tawni, and Tanya

If you have already done this one than no need to do it again. Or if you are "tagged" out and sick of doing them than I totally understand I know that your Men in your life are great. Have fun!

We went to cafe Sabor once when we lived in Logan, it was good! But I wouldn't trade where we are now with endless restaurant choices!
