A toast to the one I love most...

As Aaron claims that he "doesn't blog", I've decided that I should help represent him in the blogging community by paying tribute to him on my blog. So ladies and gentlemen, please tip your hats for Aaron Richard Sisson!

A little about Aaron: He was born on February 10th, he's the 10th of 11 kids, and he was born on his due date, which makes him a perfect 10! He's the shortest of all his brothers, but he's definitely the best looking. He was named after Richard Sisson, who was the first Sisson to come to America way back in the 1700s. Those blonde dots on the back of his head are not a dye job mishap; they are a birthmark. That, or he's had repetative dye job mishaps consistently for the last 2+ years I've known him.

Hobbies: deer hunting, turkey hunting, duck hunting, pheasant hunting, rabbit hunting, chukar hunting, watching hunting videos, target practice, and intermural sports. (One of these things is not like the other...)

Favorite food: He'll probably tell you that it's milanesas, or pollo a la mostasa, or something Argentine; but I know the truth. The one food Aaron can't resist is pickles. He eats at least one pickle a day. It is not uncommon for him to drink pickle juice as his midnight snack. When President Gordon B. Hinckley told us not to be pickle suckers, I sure hope he wasn't referring to Aaron...that might be a lost cause. For dessert, he likes anything with peanut butter and chocolate.

Hidden talents: Aaron has a lovely singing voice, and he taught himself to read music on his mission. He can also split an apple with his bare hands, which is part of the reason I fell in love with him. He's a terrific dancer and a wonderful cook. He's gives great back massages, and I really think this is a talent that he should continue to cultivate.

Favorite books: La Dama del Alba is far and away his favorite, but I've recently been able to hook him on Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia.

What he gets excited about: buying new hunting toys, his major, making connections to start his own guide business, and being a daddy.
