Yes, just ensure you use the same gmail/Google login.
It should also transfer all contact info you have sync'd with google and remember any WiFi networks you used before.

I'm in the same boat, but have another question. My OH will be taking my old phone. Do I need to reset to factory settings to clear everything? If I do, does the phone keep its current firmware?

A factory reset is fine, but you'll have to wipe the SD card (if it has one) separately.
