My Significant Other

Jen saw this survey on my SIL's page and I thought it was a cute way to pay tribute to your hubby so sorry Jen, I decided so copy you. John hasn't decided yet on whether he is going to share my blog or keep going on his own that he started a long time ago. I am honored to have a husband like John. Many of you don't know John because he doesn't allow people to really truly know him. You might be surprised but maybe not.

1. What is his name? John Tyson Jeske
2. Who eats more? Definitely John, the guy can't get enough food. He's always eating probably due to running all night being a milkman and all.
3. Who said I love you first? John did and I said okay and shut the door of my apartment as fast as I could. It took me a little longer because I couldn't believe that their were actually good men out there. But I sure was one of the lucky ones that snagged a keeper.
4. Who is taller? He is, but I like it that way.
5. Who is smarter? Well that depends on what your talking about. John is book smart but I am commonsense smart is what we call it.
6. Who is more sensitive? This one is a hard one because we are both sensitive but I still play the tough person and he's just quiet but I believe that were both quite sensitive.
7. Who does the laundry? Definitely him! I hate laundry. Did I say I hate laundry? I would rather clean the whole house than do laundry....
8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Well it depends on the way our room is arranged. But for awhile now John does.
9. Who pays the bills? I do. John doesn't want anything to do with money.... It's frustrating at times but we deal.
10. Who cooks more? John does almost all the cooking. I was smart and taught him how to cook all that I knew how to cook and now he cooks and learns new things but if I had to I probably could manage. Not that it would be any good.
11. What meals do you cook together? We usually don't. I pitch in every once in awhile or I'll cook if he needs to sleep a little longer.
12. Who is more stubborn? I don't know. We both are but in different ways. But if I had to say one then it would have to be him.
13. Who is the first to admit they're wrong? John! I'm not good with sorry or admitting that I'm wrong but I'm working on this.
14. Who has more siblings? John has three older brothers and I only have one brother but if you count all the people I consider to be sisters (or like sisters) then I do.
15. Who wears the pants in the relationship? Me! Work in progress!!!
16. What do you like to do together? I really like talking with John if I can get him to talk. Also we like to sit down and watch TV. We love to hang out with friends too but were pretty boring.
17. Who eats more sweets? This one is a hard one because when I first met John, he was very good about not eating sweets but I corrupted him. So I'd have to say it depends on the time. He's pretty consistent now but mine comes and goes depending on things.
18. Guilty pleasures? Going out to eat! There's probably many more but I can't tell all my secrets.
19. How did you meet? We were set up by my mom and a couple that worked with my mom at IRS. They did karoake and somewhat knew him. So yes, we met at a bar but it's not all bad.
20. Who asked who out first? This is kindof ironical and funny at the same time. I met John just to check him out and so that he could check me out at karoake. I danced with him that night and I left early to get home to Jordan. I was really still dating Jordan's biological father. Well, John didn't ask for my number and then my mom went out of town for a week and he couldn't get my number. When he did finally get my number, Jordan's biological father got sent back to jail and John called me. Great timing huh :)
21. Who kissed who first? He did.
22. Who proposed? He did in an unusual place but he asked my parents to be there. But we both had decided that we wanted to be together before that.
23. His best features? John is amazing. Really, having to deal with are whole situation and having to provide for us knowing that we all are relying on him. He is very devoted and caring. He would do anything for his family. Considering the circumstances he's incredible for what he does and doesn't do. I'm proud of him and his accomplishments. I can't say that it hasn't been hard and there's thing that he needs to work on but don't we all. I love him for him. He is gentle, kind, caring, considerate, romantic (yes, ladies very romantic). I could keep going but I won't.

John,
I just want you to know that I love you. I am so proud of you for all that you have done for me and our family. I wanted to thank you for all you do for me and the kids. Thank you for getting up with the kids in the morning on the weekends, for working extra hard to get them off to school so I don't have to get up, for taking the carpool, for getting me a mug every night before you go to work, for cleaning, cooking, and most of all for being there for me (especially lately) when I need you. Thank you for being willing to do everything and anything for me. That is a quality I'd love to have and most women wish they had a man like you (but sorry, your taken and I'm not giving you up). We have been dealt a hard hand but we have made it this far. I know that together we can do anything. I meant everything I said above. I can't explain to you what the last two weeks have meant to me. (You know what I mean.) You are getting things in order and doing what you've always known. You are a good husband, father, son, and friend. No matter what anyone else tells you. Sure things are hard but you have a way of getting through them so graciously. I love you for what you have brought into my life. I don't know where I'd be know without you. You were my lifesaver at the time. You gave me two amazing children. And you accepted Jordan as your own. Believe it or not a lot of people would not have done what you have done. Knowing we are now an eternal family means more than I can say. It was a long road to get here but I'm glad I did it with you.

Love Nikki
