Husband Tag

What is his name? Aaron Edmund Jones. It is tradition in his family for the first born son to be named with the initials AEJ. This is a problem that we have been discussing since we were married. Aaron obviously carries the tradition, there are not a lot of male names beginning with A. When a baby boy comes along I think we will be inspired.

How long have you been together? Our first date was October 8, 2002, engaged April 11, 2003, married September 27, 2003.

How long did you date? See above. We dated for about 7 months and were engaged for 5.

How old is he? 31. About two years older than I am.

Who eats more? We loooooove to eat around here. I cook very healthy and Aaron loves to eat it. But, he does have an incredible sweet tooth. He just about begs me to bake a cake every Sunday. I never do. Any junk food that is in our house was bought in by him. Depending what he has brought home, I usually have a sample.

Who said I love you first? Aaron implied it shortly after we met. But, the words actually left my lips first.

Who is taller? Aaron is 6'2 and I am 5'6 - a pretty good match.

Who is smarter? Aaron is definitely book smarter than I am, he loves math for goodness sake! He can memorize things rather quickly. He never loses anything or forgets where he put something. This is the polar opposite of me, I am always frantically looking for where I put my whatever. When it comes to common sense, I take the cake on that one.

Who does the laundry? I DO, AND I HATE IT! I do not mind washing or folding, when it comes to putting it away I would rather poke myself with a a stick. I am trying to get worked out that I do the washing and folding and Aaron puts away. He has not completely agreed to it but we are working on it. My drawers will be a lot more organized if this comes into fruition.

Who does the dishes? I do, while he does bath and bed time with Noellie Bellie.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you're standing facing our bed I do. I sleep closer to the door. This has been a kind of sensitive subject because I have always wanted the other side of the bed. But, Aaron's rationale is that since he sleeps flat on his back all night like he is in a coffin he always has his right arm on the outside of the bed. This way if someone comes in he is ready to swing and give it his best shot.

Who pays the bills? Are you kidding? The accountant husband? He does.

Who mows the lawn? Aaron usually does. I have powered that thing up a time or two.

Who cooks dinner? I do. Always. Aaron has never really cooked a meal. If I look back really far I can see scrambled eggs once and a grilled cheese sandwich or two.

Who drives when you are together? Aaron, most of the time. He is like his dad - a human Thomas Guide. He just has a great sense of direction and always gets us there.

Who is more stubborn? Wellllllllllll.....that's a good question. I can't really decide. Aaron usually says sorry first. And, I think he should because he is usually wrong. :)

Who kissed who first? Of course, he did. I wouldn't until I knew this was the real deal.

Who asked who out first? We were set up on a date and while we were on that date he asked me out for that Saturday.

Who proposed? Aaron did.......it was precious. After he sent me on an elaborate scavenger hunt. He was incredibly nervous.

Who wears the pants in the family? To be honest, we both have a pair of pants....but I usually have the last word.
