Let me just tell you all the on going war of wills me and Aaron currently are fighting. As you know Aaron and I went on a cruise in May. The suitcase we used is still in the same spot that it has been in since MAY! The suitcase goes in the attic and I am a girl that will do a lot of things but climbing and crawling in a attic IS NOT ONE OF THEM. It is really not that he will not put it away if I asked I am sure he would. I just think a suitcase that he literally walks past every single time he gets in and out of bed is something that he should NOTICE and realize needs to be put away. That is where our little war comes in at. I think he is secretly doing it to see how long I can live with a suitcase in our room before I break down and ask him to move it and I am in a war of wills to not have to ask him to do something that clearly he has to realize he should do. Here is the one problem though. There is a large black suitcase in my bedroom that I have to now dust because it is a permanent fixture in my room. Here is the one hole in Aaron's plan that he has not taken into account...... I AM A GRADEN. I am pretty sure in the dictionary under stubborn there not only is a picture of my dad but my mom is joining him. I will win this war even if it takes me a year and I have to make a flower arrangement to go on top of the large black suitcase. I will win!!!!

I don't know, Mandy, I think I would just ask him. I am continually surprised at how much a man will NOT notice on his own, and then I am reminded of that marriage lecture series by John Lund where he says you have to be a "content communicator" and always says exactly what you mean if you want to make sure they understand. (Although I usually try to give Jon chance to figure it out first... and then give in and ask him!) Good luck either way!!!
Go Mandy!! I love it! This is too funny. The flower arrangement thing is a great idea! let us know when the battle is over.
p.s. Isn't it wonderful that this is all you can get mad (i know- mad - isn't the word really) at Aaron about! He is such a great guy. YOu are a lucky woman!
When he is sleeping you should open it up and put it where he would step when he gets out of bed. Maybe if he steps "into" it he will then get the hint to put it away:) You are not alone...although my battles are with the kids:) Stay silent girl..sometimes these kinda things are entertaining:)
I LOVE the flower arrangement idea! And knowing you, it would be an especially "eye-catching" one at that. Your post is the laugh I needed today. : )
There is a great episode of Everyone Loves Raymond that you totally have to watch!! Same exact issue and it was stinking HIlarious!! Seriously, you need to find it.
lol I can't help to laugh! I don't know If he'll do it on his own. If it were Paul I'd have to ask. He went to scout camp for a week and just left his stuff on the floor when he got home. A week later I had to ask 3 times to get it put away.
You go girl! You stick to your guns!!! I already think you are a winner :)
No doubt in my mind... you will end up being the Winner! I love how you pulled out the "Graden" in you to show you will WIN! Either way you are a Super Lucky lady! Cute pic of you two! You must tell us the ending of the story! xoxox
