How did you meet your spouse?


Well there's a story for ya. Aaron was in the Navy and in Training school in Orlando and then North Carolina. Thankfully he was friends with my brothers best friend Shane Stephenson and he would come down for 4 day weekends and spend time with Shane. I too was there with Shane and my brothers who would let their little sister hang out with them.(How sweet of them)  Aaron noticed me and asked Shane for my email address. It wasn't until a wedding reception that Aaron and I were at that I actually thought he liked me. He asked me to dance and that was that. He chose me and I am pretty lucky he did. Not to mention how lucky he is to have me. :o)



Where did you go on your first date?


Our first official date was to a ice skating rink in North Carolina with our friends Maggie and Walter Braun (Who weren't married to each other at the time either.) The date was great until Walter fell and split his chin and we had to take him to the Urgent Care center. 



How long have you been together?


Aaron and I have been together since he flew me to Washington in August of '98 He asked me to marry him the day after I got here then we were married in October of '98. 10 Wonderful Years. And yes the time does Fly. 



Who eats more?


Aaron by far. I keep telling him it will catch up to him and he is going to start to look like my brothers one day. :o) 



Who said I love you first?


I can't remember for sure but it probably was me, I am not a very patient person. Perhaps that should have warned him. Oh Well, he says it a lot more often  than I do these days. I should work on that. I love you Aaron!

Who is taller? 

Aaron is 6'1" and I am 5' 9" The only time I am taller is when I am wearing my heals and he is not wearing shoes. 

Who sings better?


I love to hear Aaron sing, He is asked to sing more often than I am. We both  have a love of singing and love to sing when ever we can. We even sing to our boys before bed every night. 



Who is smarter?


Aaron knows a lot more facts than I do, I don't remember things. Aaron has way more schooling than I do with my 3 college classes. I can't even begin to explain to  you what he does

for work all I know is that it has to do with electricity. I do think I have more common sense than most, and I love to read. I just finished Stephanie Meyers Twilight series and Jane Austin's Northanger Abey. I had not read a novel for probably 2 years before this and it really feels good to sit down with a good book. 

Who does the laundry?


I do. Laundry is my curse! I can never get ahead. There is always a pile somewhere clean or dirty, sometimes both. I love the summer time when the boys wear less clothing, mostly their swim trunks all day. 



Who does the dishes?


Me Again.  Jared is actually starting to help now he is 8 years old and one of his chores is to empty the dishwasher. It makes loading it a little easier when someone is helping. Dallin loves to rinse the dishes for me. Aaron is really good with surprising me at times with having the dishwasher loaded. 



Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?


Is it the right side when you are standing at the foot and looking at the bed or is it the right when you are in the bed? I never know. Well if you are looking from the foot of the bed I sleep on the right (most of the time,  we don't really have one side we sleep on all the time. ) And if you are in the bed Aaron because the clock in on that side and when he works day shift he gets up at 4:00 am and he is so sweet as not to want to disturb me. Mostly I sleep in the middle of the Cal-King and Aaron can sleep on either side he wants. :o)



Who pays the bills?


You're supposed to pay those?



Who mows the lawn?


I do most of the time, Not because Aaron doesn't, it is just that I would rather be outside in the yard and garden than in the house. 



Who cooks dinner?


I do, at least I try. I am convinced that I need a personal chef.
As soon as we can fit it into the budget. :o) Aaron can cook a mean Mac & Cheese when he has to. 


Who drives when you are together?


Aaron, he likes to drive more than I do. 



Who is more stubborn?


Probably me. I seem to get my way more often. 


Who is the first to admit when they’re wrong?


Pretty sure it is me, but then again who says I am ever wrong?



Whose parents do you see the most?


Neither, Mom and Lee live in Florida and Aaron's Mom lives in Utah. Although They all came out in Feb. for Jared's baptism with Sarah and her family and Brian with his oldest boy Kalen. That was the best! I can't wait to do that again. We are planning to all get together in November at Brian's house in Georgia. 



Who kissed who first?


I am sure it was Aaron who kissed me. It was wonderful. And still is. 

Who proposed?


Aaron proposed to me the day after I arrived on the West Coast. He asked me to go on a walk with him through the woods in LaPine, Oregon. (I saw the ring box in his pocket so I kind of knew what he was up to :o) We walked for a while until we came to a log and sat down. Then he asked me to marry him. I was very excited and happy. The ring was beautiful and just what I would have chosen myself. 


Who is more sensitive?


That would be me hands down. I cry all the time. Especially during movies. 

Who has more friends?

Me. The ward I am in has the very best of people in it. I am so lucky to have so many wonderful friends.
Aaron needs a few more guy friends to hang out with. 


Who has more siblings?


Aaron, he is the baby of 6, and I am the middle of 5. 



Who wears the pants in the family?


I think we both wear them equally. Although the boys believe Aaron the first time when I have already said something 10 times. 



So now I tag….

My Mom, Sarah and Kim
