What's his name? Cole Dean Smith
How long have you been together?
Oh, that's complicated, but here goes. We met in 2002, just before I left for Ecuador. He wasn't too fond of me, thought I was too crazy or something like that! When I came back, we were friends for a little while- then started dating in April of 2003. I then proceeded to break up with him when I moved home for the summer. Then, when I came back up to school, I saw him for the first time and thought..."Oh shoot! He is really cute, and I think I still like this kid!" We were friends for a little while again, then smooched one night and figured we had better give the dating thing another go. That was in September of 2003. By February 2004 we were engaged, June we were hitched! We have now been married for almost 4 years! Wow does time fly!
How long did you date? As stated above, we dated on and off for about 2 years before we were married.
How old is he? WAY old....27
Who eats more? Ummm...candy, Cole. Salty things (potato chips, french fries, etc.) Me. Cole can mostly eat more at dinner, but that is because I am trying to maintain my girlish figure!
Who is taller? Cole thank goodness! He is 6'1" and I am 5'8"
Who said 'I love you' first? Cole did, but I was SO wanting to say it for a long time. I didn't want to steal that "first" from him, but I said it right after he did! Under the mistletoe and everything!
Who does the laundry? I do-unfortunately! My least favorite chore! But Cole is really good about doing it if I ask him to.
Who does the dishes? That would have to be Cole. I also don't like dishes...I am not the best homemaker I guess. But he is a great dish-doer. (if there is such a word!)
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Depends on the night. For the most part, I sleep on the right side of the bed when we are laying in it, but sometimes I like to switch it up for some reason, and cole complies.
Who pays the bills? I do. Not the funnest, but I have a better memory, so that job falls to me.
Who mows the lawn? Cole. I love to mow the lawn, but so does Cole, and I am VERY slow at it, so he does it, and does a GREAT job at it!
Who cooks dinner? Usually me, unless I am so sick of cooking. Then he makes a mean taco or fajita, or something of the like.
Who sings better? Ummm...Me, but Cole has a wonderful voice!
Who drives when you are together? Cole-because he doesn't trust my driving! I have places to go and people to see!
Who is more stubborn? Oh, we are both pretty stubborn. We just actually had this conversation, because we were wondering where Lincoln got his stubbornness, and we came to the conclusion that he is more stubborn, and I am more headstrong. I don't know which is worse!
Who is smarter? Definitely Cole. Not a very smart cookie here!
Who kissed who first? Cole made the move, and very smartly during the Movie "Princess Bride" which just happens to be my favorite movie!
Who asked who out first? Well, after Cole kissed me during the Princess Bride, he thought it only appropriate to ask me out for the next night for the first time! :) Such a sly dog!
Who proposed? Him, and MAN was it romantic!
Who is more sensitive? Me for sure...I am a huge bawl baby! I cry at everything! Thanks alot mom!
Who has more friends? I would say that I do, because I keep in better touch with my friends, and I am a stay at home mom, and have to have friends to stay sane!
Who has more siblings? Cole...there are 6 kids in his family, 5 in mine
Who wears the pants in the family? If you ask Cole, I wear the pants, if you ask me, he wears the pants...so we share them pretty much! I am more organized, and Cole is more of a go getter, so we have to put those things both together!
I sure love Cole! He is the greatest thing in the world. He is the most wonderful dad...right now, he is downstairs with Payton because I couldn't handle it any more! I just needed a little break, and he was MORE than happy to oblige! I love you Cole!

Mindy,
I am glad that you like to switch what side of the bed you sleep on too. I was convinced that I was the only one and that I was weird. Well maybe it is still weird but at least I am not alone in my weirdness.
Eric does the dishes too! He loves the "confined mess" of the kitchen more than picking up stuff around the house. The first picture is so cute! And, you not very smart? Whatever!
Oh Cole is such a good guy. He is lucky to have you too! I'm glad you gave him a second look at USU!
Check my recipe blog, I just answered your tortilla question. Several people have asked me that.
No kidding! Princess Bride happens to be my favorite too, but if you haven't read the book it's a must. It's so much better than the movie! It's more "Indiana Jones-y," but still with all the cute, gooshy stuff. If you read it though you have to skim about the first 50 pages or skip them altogether or you'll fall asleep and never read the rest.
Mindy-
Yay! I am so glad that you found my site! I love finding people and staying in touch. Your family is so stinkin cute. How is your family doing? Keep me posted!
Mindy-
Hey-it's Megan. I found your blog from the Godfrey's and it is fun to read! You have such a cute family, and I was glad to hear about the potty training. I hope it goes well. Willie is doing the same thing. He likes to sit on the potty and LOVES stickers, but he doesn't have the timing down yet. Good luck!
How could I ever forget the infamous Mindy Miles! I was so glad to hear from you! Your family is so adorable. Congrats on your beautiful children. Let's keep in touch! So glad to catch up!!! Yo diggity!
