Husband Tag




Leslie tagged me and Bre a couple of weeks ago. I'm slow to get this done. Bre already did her husband tag, she tagged Aunt Kim, who in turn tagged Tricia. They've all finished before I even get started! Here it goes.....

1. What is his name? Kenneth R Jensen. I call him Kenny, KC calls him Dad, Bre calls him Daddy, and Logan calls him Pops. But don't call him Kenneth. When he was in the 4th grade, if kids called him Kenneth, he told them he would meet them by the flagpole after school to beat them up.

2. How long have we been together? This year we will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary! Big milestone!

3. How old is he? He is 48. But he has a twin that is 4. How is this possible? The cutest little girl in our ward has the same birthday, Feb. 27. When Kenny found out they have the same birthday, he started calling her twin. Now he just says "Hi Twin" and she comes running and hugs his legs. Its adorable. (Twin is holding the puppy in the picture above.)

4. Who eats more? When we were first married, definitely him. I'd like to think he still does.


5. Who said I love you first? I don't remember, but probably him. He is more romantic than I am.


6. Who is taller? I am. Ha Ha Ha....in my dreams. He is. Everyone in my family is taller than me! I am reminded that he is taller when he puts things away because he puts them up high. I have to use a footstool a lot.


7. What is his favorite sport? At first I was going to say basketball, but is hunting a sport? I think his favorite sport would have to be something to do with pheasant hunting and the dogs. He loves it!


8. Who is smarter? Hmm, in anything that involves building or math, he is. If it involves computers or english, I am.


9. Who does the laundry? We both do. How does anyone keep up if it isn't a joint effort?


10. Who does the dishes? Same answer as above.


11. Who pays the bills? Mostly Kenny. I am responsible for one bill. Finances stress me out. Kenny tells me that in the next life we are going to be born rich instead of so darn good looking, then I won't have to worry about bills.


12. Who cooks dinner? We both do, but Kenny is definitely the better cook. He cooks YUMMY stuff. He likes to spend time looking for new recipes to try and makes amazing dinners. He loves to bbq and loves meat. One guy in our ward is a butcher, and Kenny is always asking him questions and trying new things. When I cook, it is something that can be thrown together in 30 minutes or less.


13. Who drives when we are together? For sure him! I get sleepy. Sorry Derek....it must be genetic. Bre and I both fall asleep the minute the car starts down the street. I am the navigator when I am awake.


14. Who is more stubborn? I think he is. I think he would agree about this.


15. Who has more siblings? He does. He has 4 brother and 2 sisters. I have 1 brother and 3 sisters.


16. Who wears the pants in the relationship? Kenny says that I do. He tells me that any husband that thinks otherwise is a liar.


17. Who kissed who first? Wow. That was a long time ago. He kissed me first.


18. Who proposed to who? He proposed to me but we talked about it quite a bit together. Then he asked my Dad, and then he was supposed to give me my ring for Christmas but he got really sick. I knew he wouldn't be able to get the ring so I just asked him to wrap up anything, I just wanted something to open on Christmas morning. When I opened my presents, he did exactly as I asked...wrapped up anything. There was a can of soup, an old shoe, a pair of ugly Hillcrest track shorts, and some dried up paint. He had made me a really cute stocking and it had a box of Cracker Jacks in it. I opened the Cracker Jacks and Kenny's Mom asked me if she could have the prize. I said sure, and took the prize out and tried to give it to her. She said, no you go ahead and have it. I opened the prize, and there was my ring! It was a lot of fun that I still think of it every Christmas.


Now I don't know who to tag.

Teresa, I loved your husband post. I love Kenny. I had forgotten about the box of Cracker Jacks.

Leg hugs are the best!

Love ya!
