Set the board up after the first half of move ten and see if you can find any better moves (naturally you must play out his side too).
To tell you the truth, I was surprised that Aaron attacked with his Queen like that. It was a good move, but most people I've played against are much more hesitant to exchange Queens, probably because they're not as comfortable using the other pieces as they are using the Queen (that's how I am, too).
As a backseat driver, after Aaron moved his Pawn to e5 for move 9, had you considered this instead?
10. d4-d5

I've wasted a lot of time in the game going back over and trying to fix mistakes. If I was going to rewrite the notation for the full game, it would look something like this:
1. e2-e4 b7-b6
2. d2-d4 c8-b7
3. c2-c4[b:f037f3c3ae]?[/b:f037f3c3ae] Ng8-f6
4. Ng1-f3 Nf6xe4
5. Nf3-g5 Ne4xg5
6. Bc1xg5 d7-d5
7. b2-b3 Nb8-c6
8. Bg5-e3 d5xc4
9. b3xc4 e7-e5
10. d4xe5 Qd8xd1+
11. Ke1xd1 o-o-o+
12. Nb1-d2[b:f037f3c3ae]?[/b:f037f3c3ae] Nc6xe5
13. h2-h3 Ne5-f3
14. Ra1-c1 Bf8-b4
15. Kd1-e2
Note the blunder marks.
