My Husband

Kristen did this on her blog and tagged me to do it on mine. It looked like fun so here it goes!

• What is his name? Aaron John Peterson



• How long have you been married? Eight and a half months



• How long did you date? Hmmm… A little more than three months, but we only saw each other on weekends. One of us would drive three and a half hours to the other’s house. We would talk constantly on IM during the week at work. ;)



• How old is he? 26. He’ll be 27 on March 8th. I’m 29. Aaron likes to constantly remind me of how much older I am.



• Who eats more? Well, lately me (I’m eating for two). Plus Aaron is funny about food if he’s stressed he loses his appetite. Fortunately since he’s started a new job the stress has gone down and he is eating normally again.



• Who said I love you first? Aaron did. He said it to me the weekend we celebrated his birthday last year. I said it right back to him.



• Who is smarter? It depends on what it is. I think I am more computer/ technology, book smart and Aaron is more people, street, spiritual smart. We compliment each other that way.



• Whose temper is worse? Well to be honest it would be Aaron. Since we’ve been married he’s gotten a lot better at handling it and talking out his frustrations.



• Who does the laundry? Since we currently don’t have kids it’s pretty equal. I have a feeling that will eventually shift to my job though.



• Who folds the laundry? Again we both do, but Aaron sometimes doesn’t always fold his right away in hopes that I will do it for him. He hates folding laundry.



• Who does the dishes? We both do, usually the one of us cooks and other does the dishes.



• Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do it’s the side that’s closest to the bathroom. I have a small bladder.



• Who pays the bills? I handle the finances. It’s a lot better if I take care of it – Aaron gets easily stressed out over them.



• Who cooks dinner? Aaron and I switch this off also mostly because he really enjoys cooking (I wouldn’t want to deny him!) but I try to take care of him.



• Who drives when you are together? Aaron does. He likes driving and I like just enjoying the ride.



• Who is more stubborn? Going to have to say its Aaron, but I am a close second. We haven’t come across anything that we haven’t been able to work through.



• Whose parents do you see the most? We’ve had both our families stay with us and we’ve visited them. I would have to say that we see Aaron’s a little more because they are a lot closer to us.



• Who proposed? Aaron did. He was so excited to go for a walk behind the mental hospital in Provo. I personally thought that someone so excited to go for a walk behind the mental hospital aught to be committed; but it turned out that there was a beautiful old rock amphitheater behind the mental hospital that looked like a castle! There at sunset he proposed.



• Who has more friends? Aaron does because he’s lived in Idaho longer and well, he’s just a likable guy who makes friends easily.



• Who has more siblings? Aaron does. He has 5 and I have 3.



• Who wears the pants in the family? While I feel that we have a very equal partnership I would have to say that it’s Aaron. He takes his role as priesthood holder and breadwinner very seriously, especially now that he is going to be a father. Besides I look really good in skirts and Aaron would look rather silly!
