4. I arrange the flights, rental cars, hotel accommodations. He is the tour guide once we get there. And he pays all the costs.
5. I made sure all the homework was done and dealt with the school officials when needed. He only went in when it was too intense for me. Like when 4 teachers were mad at Natalie and he went to face the firing squad.
6. I navigate. He drives. I am NOT an ace navigator!
7. I like 'girl' movies. He likes 'cowboy' movies. Everything else we like to watch together.

23. He washes the cars and I vacuum the insides.
24. I love to play games, he hates to play games. We have come to terms with that.
25. He would love to entertain more. I don't like to entertain. We have the missionaries over as a compromise.

I really enjoyed it and it made me smile big time. I love your way of expressing 32 years of fun. We hope to be close to your example. You guys are great. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!
