I was tagged to report on my dearest hubby and so brace yourselves......

What is his name? Aaron Douglas Mason, but he goes by Rizz. Long story where Rizz comes from. Just go with it. That is all I knew him by and didn't even know his real name until we first started hanging out.

How long have you been married? We are the newlyweds of the group......2.5 years.

How long did you date? 4 months before we were married. Shocked yet? =)

How old is he? 28. I am the cougar. =)

Who eats more? Anyone that knows Rizz, knows that he can eat more than anyone.

Who said I love you first? He did

Who is taller? Rizz

Who can sing better? Rizz, he loves to sing. If you listen closely in the store and you hear a man singing, this would be Rizz.

Who is smarter? We share this title.

Who does the laundry? I do

Who pays the bills? I do, but he provides the cash.

Who sleeps on the right side? Rizz

Who mows the lawn? We both enjoy getting outdoors, but he picks up the poo. Yeah for that!

Who cooks dinner? I do, he is the grill master

Who drives? We've learned to negotiate that one

Who is more stubborn? It's a tie, and the tie always goes to the husband, right?

Who kissed who first? He says he kissed me, but I think I remember planning my move too.

Who asked who out first? Neither, we were set up by one of our mutual friends. I knew I was going to go out with Rizz, he did not. Surprise. He was happy. =)

Who proposed? It was not near the episode that one might expect. We were preparing for Rizz to leave to Red Dog Mine and had only be dating for 3 weeks. He was supposed to be gone for 6 weeks. After a somewhat surprising and scary conversation we both came to the conclusion that we were supposed to get married. That night was fairly surreal since neither of us was expecting our lives to change so dramatically so fast. The Lord plays funny tricks sometimes.

Who has more friends? He does in closer proximity, I do out of state. We tie.

Who is more sensitive? Equal, our dog is truly the most sensitive one in the house.

Who has more siblings? Rizz definitely wins, he is one of seven. I have one sister.

Who puts the kids to bed? We both do.

Who wears the pants? We share really big pants.

That is my prince in a nutshell. =)

Today we went for our walk/jog and had the best time. We went around the Baxter bog, which is 1omin. by foot, away from my house. Talk about the wild outdoors right in the city. It was awesome. Spring love was definitely in the air with the wildlife. Abbi and I saw the smallest baby moose I think I have ever seen. We couldn't get a picture because we barely noticed the mama and just caught a glimpse of the baby hiding behind her.........and we didn't want to bother them. Anyway, just thought I'd share a few pics of our lovely Alaska.

I couldn't tell if these geese were fighting to protect their babies or if they were looking for a mate and one thought the other one's girl was pretty cute. It was pretty neat to watch them go back and forth. Love was definitely in the air for the birds. They were squakin' and flying all over the place.

Abigail loves our walks/jogs. She really likes the Baxter bog because some of the parts are bumpy and she likes to say "ahhhh" as we are going over the bumps. Before long, she is going to be the one running. You should see this kid. She wants to walk/jog sooo bad. Almost has the standing thing down.

There is my handsome guard dog. Well, maybe not guard dog...........but good guy nonetheless. He thinks he has become a retriever and gets into the water whenever he can. He attacks the water like it's out to get him. We had the hardest time getting him to like water and now I can't keep him out. Koda is such a good dog and makes going outside that much more entertaining.

We are excited to go to the zoo here at home with Rizz. Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful Alaskan sunshine. Sorry to all you Utahn's cooking away down there.
