Small Town Couple

This is about Kate and Chucky, Chucky and Kate!


What are your middle names?
My middle name is Lee, Chucky's middle name is Edward. He was named after his father and I was named after my mother - we are distant relatives of Robert E. Lee.

How long have you been together?
We've been married 7 1/2 years, together 11 1/2.

How long did you know each other before you started dating?
I met him when I was ten, and we started dating when I was 21.

Who asked whom out?
He asked me out.

How old are each of you?
I'm 32 and so is he. A lot of our married friends are also the same ages, we went to high school together and still hang out together.

Whose siblings do you see the most?
Chucky has one sister, who lives closest to us and has a child in daycare with our child, so we see them fairly often. I have a brother that we don't see as often, but he does live close. I have a sister that I am fortunate enough to work with two days a week.

Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
Work. He works full time, I work part time. Nothing is equal.

Did you go to the same school?
We went to the same high school.

Are you from the same home town?
No. I grew up in Urbanna, he grew up in Deltaville (about twenty minutes apart by car). In our area Urbanna is like the city, and Deltaville is the country boy/boater area. There is a weird rivalry that only the Deltaville people seem to participate in.

Who is smarter?
Hard to say. Chucky picks up on things easily, he has a great sense of direction, can build things and remember things. I have to work hard not to get lost in a city, and if I don't write something down, it doesn't get done. It takes me a little longer, but I can usually figure out anything I try to. I'm far more driven and persistent than he is.

Who is the most sensitive?
Me.

Where do you eat out most as a couple?
Wherever our monthly supper club decides to go! Or the pizza place.

Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Disney World in Florida

Who has the craziest exes?
Me.

Who has the worst temper?
Neither of us really has a temper, but Chucky is easily embarrassed and if anything makes his temper flare, it is being embarassed in front of his friends.

Who does the cooking?
We both cook, I probably do it more often. I get home later that he does two days a week, so he cooks on those nights.

Who is the neat-freak?
Me. But I'm really not a freak about being neat. He just won't put anything back where it belongs.

Who is more stubborn?
Me.

Who hogs the bed?
Him. But we have a King size matress so it's all good.

Who wakes up earlier?
Me. I have to wake Chucky up 4 or 5 times.

Where was your first date?
Goodfellas restaurant in Gloucester.

Who is more jealous?
Chucky.

Who eats more?
Chucky.

Who does the laundry?
Me. Don't touch my laundry.

Who's better with the computer?
Me.

Who drives when you are together?
Chucky. I work the DVD player and pass out snacks and drinks and keep the kids from fighting.
