What are your middle names?
Easy for me...Dianne (first name is Marsha..hold the applause and Brady Bunch jokes)
Steve is Steven James.
How long have you been together?
In July we will be married for 17 years. Started dating in Feb. before that.
How long did you know each other before you started dating?
We worked together at the same school, so I'm not really sure...over a year I think.
Who asked whom out?
Another easy one. I asked him to come over for dinner. I tease him that I'd still be waiting on him but he says he was working up the nerve....
How old are each of you?
I'm 52 and Steve is 55 (staying alive) He's officially a senior citizen now. haha
Whose siblings do you see the most?
Mine...just my oldest brother and sister-in-law mostly. Steve's all live in Illinois and don't make it this way often.
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
It used to be raising children, but now that is pretty much a done deal...I guess it comes to questions about planning retirement, finances, our parents getting older, and who is going to cook tonight?
Did you go to the same school?
Steve went to high school in Peoria, Illinois and I went to high school at a private school in Forrest City, AR.
Who is smarter?
We both do things the other one can't. And we have learned pretty much what to turn over to the other person. I'm the speller, the photographer, the creative one and the computer person generally. Steve is the fix-it, patient plumber, electrician, shop til you drop to find a bargain, read all of the directions first, file it so you can find it next time guy.
Who is the most sensitive?
Both probably. I cry easier, but Steve is very sensitive, so it's a toss up. But, I cry at the national anthem, sweet babies, when other people cry, when I say goodbye to my kids (who are grown), at weddings, funerals, holiday events....you name it.
Where do you eat out most as a couple?
Hard to say....we get take out from several places....but to go out to eat and sit down....maybe Fridays.
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Las Vegas
Who has the worst temper?
Steve has none. I have a quick one. Short fuse and I get over it equally fast.
Who does the cooking?
That is about even...during the week, Steve usually does more and on the weekend, I try to cook more. Honestly, I think he enjoys it more.
Who is the neat-freak?
Steve. I'm a bit obsessive about some things, but in general he is the neat one.
Who is more stubborn?
Okay, now I know everyone is thinking this is a hands down DIANNE one here, but let me tell you that when Mr. Baer makes up his mind about something, there is not much that can turn the tide.
Who hogs the bed?
Steve...I usually end up in the morning clutching the edge hanging on for my life.
Who wakes up earlier?
I'm not a morning person, but since I've been passing out so early, I've been getting up early to work on paperwork. Like 4:30. ugh.
Where was your first date?
My apartment for dinner and a movie.
Who is more jealous?
Me. Steve is clueless.
Who eats more?
Definitely Steve. Where does the man put it all?
Who is better with the computer?
Definitely me. I spend all day on it and then come home and spend hours on it too. He is new to the computer but has recently become quite the web searcher.
Who drives when you are together?
Generally speaking you will see me driving because I get carsick so easily.
And that's about all of it!

Ha! I like the "who is smarter" question...that about sums it up!
The driving cause I get car sick thing must be a family excuse!
