I got tagged to write about Levi...I guess being French and everything, I tend to keep things very private, but I have wanted to do this for awhile, so here it goes(I have a feeling that it's going to be more revelatory of me than of Levi):
1. What is his name? Levi Sawat Seway --his middle name is thai, after his grandfather.
2. Who eats more? I do...Levi takes more time to eat so I'm finishing my second serving by the time he's done with his first, I guess I like to keep him company while he eats :)
3. Who said "I love you" first? I did...it might have scared him off a little! I was head over heels for him and I could not refrain myself from letting him know. All of "the rules" that my friends had carefully spelled out for me were out the window when he entered the room.
4. Who is taller? Levi is by a couple inches.
5. Who is smarter? We're both dreamers, so sometimes we tend to get lost in our thoughts; thankfully, at different times...
6. Who is more sensitive? Depends on the issues...I won't go into the details, he's sensitive about revealing his weaknesses ;)
7. Who does the laundry? I most definitely do, except on occasions, he offers to help carry the baskets to the laundromat, which I SO appreciate!
8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does...I stay close to the alarm clock (on the left) as I wake up early.
9. Who pays the bills? I do.
10. Who cooks more? I do...the kitchen is my territory! Sometimes Levi offers to cook, but I dread the pile of dishes he leaves behind...I have a system that consists of cleaning as I cook, so most of the dishes are done when it's time to eat. However, he always helps me best by occupying Eve while I'm busy in the kitchen.
11. What meals do you cook together? Desserts on Saturdays and Sundays, and we make our sandwiches together for lunch.
12. Who is more stubborn? We both have our moments, again it depends on the issue.
13. Who is the first to admit they are wrong?I am...I can't stand contention or the thought of him leaving for school without talking things out and resolving our differences.
14. Who has more siblings? That's easy: Levi has 6 siblings; I, on the other hand, have 1 brother, 3 half sisters and 1 half brothers...do those count?
15. Who wears the pants in the relationship? We both do.
16. What do you like to do together? Going on bike rides, watching movies, listening to Andrea Bocelli, playing with Eve, going on walks.
17. Who eats more sweets? I do...to Levi's despair! I have a bad case of chocolitis.
18. What is his guilty pleasure? Cheesecake, playing a pick-up game of football (American soccer)
19. How did you meet? We live in the Foreign Language Housing on BYU campus; I was a native speaker helping girls to learn and speak French, and he moved in the French house with 2 former missionary companions. My friend Michelle set us up on a double date 3 times in a row: first, we went to SLC to watch the Testament on Temple Square and eat choc
olate fondue; then, we went to Thai Rubi; finally, we went to TGI Fridays with Michelle and her fiance, and her brother and his wife, and had a great conversation where I related my conversion story; he later told me that that's when he knew he wanted to go out with me.20. Who asked who out first? After our three double dates, Levi called and asked me out. I don't remember where we went, but I remember taking forever to choose an outfit and getting ready. As crazy as it sounds, I immediately knew he was the one, I felt so safe and complete when I was with him.
21. Who kissed who first? One night, we were cuddling in front of my apartment door, when Levi pulled out a piece of paper and started reading a poem by Victor Hugo; the gist of it is that the poet says that if he had all the riches of the world, he would lay them all for a kiss of his love...It was so romantic, but I was not ready and I told him so. A few days later, it was Levi's B-Day and I had organized a great surprise party except we could not find Levi! It was awful...he came home after almost everyone had left. We ended up walking around the Provo Temple and stopped half way and kissed...and never stopped kissing ever since!
22. Who proposed? Levi did. We had been talking about marriage for awhile, and I was going to Paris to teach a Study Abroad group for a semester, so I saw it coming...but it was absolutely romantic: we had stayed over some friends' house overnight. I woke up and was waiting for him to wake up...I had been waiting for awhile when I heard a knock at the door. Since it wasn't my house I did not want to open the door, but seeing that no one was getting it I opened to see Levi standing with a beautiful bouquet of roses. He had also gotten some groceries and we made breakfast together while listening to Sarah Brightman. Levi took my hands and we started to dance until he stopped and proceeded to kneel down: my heart leapt and I wanted to say yes before he had even asked, but for once, I controlled myself. He proposed (in French) and gave me a beautiful pearl ring.
23. His best features? His smile, his class, his British accent
24. What is his greatest quality? Humor: he can light up every conversation by finding the funny side of it; He is also a Great Listener: I am amazed at how attentive he is when he listens to someone--it shows how much he cares.
25. I tag: Anyone who loves their Husband as much as I do!!!
To conclude, I just want to say that I am so thankful for having such a loving and caring husband who is willing to overlook my weaknesses and truly loves me for who I am (when I have a hard time loving myself in the first place). Levi makes my life sweeter, fuller, and funner and I'm prepared to face anything as long as he is by my side. Je t'aime, cheri.

Fun post, thanks for helping us get to know Levi a bit better. :0)
This is so cute and very revealing of the both of you...I need to re-visit the tag and read the whole thing but it's so sweet I can only takes bits and pieces at a time. I love the "first-kiss" scenario. Vary enchanting!
Anabelle, that last paragraph choked me up! I read everything...(I have a major sweet tooth right now) and it fully cracked me up!!! Our husband have many similarities. Jermaine is sensitive about exposing his weaknesses too! And there was something else...dang...I can't remember. I'm going to leave you a millions comments. You'll block me from your blog...
COOKING---that was it! I can't understand how anyone can make such a mess but that's how I feel when Jermaine cooks. Tornado hits the kitchen, so it's quite the toss up because he does very good at making delicious food...I just hate the mess he trails along behind him! I also love how you characterize yourself because it is so completely fits the french stereotype: wearing your emtions on your sleeve...needing to wait to say yes to Levi's very romantic proposal. SWEET!!! i NEED TO GO BACK TO BED SO i CAN RECUPERATE NOW.
That was really cute!! I remember how excited Levi was to propose to you!!!
To answer your questions about my tops (first of all--thank you!!!) I actually got a few of them at Target. They are really inexpensive and they have some very cute stuff lately! Some of the others I got at Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack.
Hope you guys are doing well!!!
