The Story of {Fart Where?}

Ohhh boy... {deep breath}

here goes nothing.

last week - Thursday to be exact

I answered an honest Q: to a fill in the blank...

Q: 3. Fill in the blank.

You know your comfortable with your spouse when you _____________.

A: Fart in the same bath water.

Need I say more?

please people.

let me tell you my momma would be ashamed if she knew I used the word

f.a.r.t! That being said in this case...

it was flat out fart.

why?

{it's about to get to the extreme}

because have you ever smelled bath water fart?

let's get real.

it just not right.

in fact, it's like a million times worse than a regular

stank back door area blow out.

Oh yes...

you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Now, let me take you to the right frame of mind.

I need you to know that bath time is my favorite time of the day.

I never shower unless, of course, I'm not in my own home.

I take baths every day.

sometimes in the morning - sometimes at night.

this is the o.n.l.y time of the day besides when I sleep

that I actually STOP & have true Jessica time.

half of the time my mind doesn't turn off when I'm asleep anyway.

No work. No Maid Service. No Wife. No Cooking.

Me time.

enough of that.

moving right along.

i love my baths.

sometimes they are 15 minutes

sometimes they can go for a hour or long.

a whole lot of suds &

99.999% I refill my bath with hott water more than once.

I sit. I relax. I think. Sometime Sleep.

basically this....

{via}

my husband thinks baths are disgusting and you can't possibly get clean

while sitting in your dirty water.

who cares.

I still take them.

we don't take them together.

Not on this day.

Before I take to you the day ... Hmmm How can I describe this -

the day  it bubbled up.

I need you to know I saw this fill-in-the-blank on Facebook

The Nest 's page posted on my news feed.

So I re-posted it on my facebook & got a lot of same answers

everyone answered last Thursday.

Okay so back to the day it bubbled up.

Drum Roll

It was a great day at work but a long one.

I came home started dinner & run my bath.

Aaron was deer hunting.

the house was quite.

So quite.

In no time - I was about to relax.

closing my eyes.

falling asleep.

relaxed I was.

...

I couldn't be to long because I had dinner cooking

therefore I started my bath ritual.

shave my left leg.

wash my body.

shave my right leg.

Usually it's washing my hair next but

by this time Aaron came home.

He doesn't usually bother me while I'm in the bath but

it's a crazy must do to kiss me when he first sees me after work {or whatever}

So he does. {TMI}

Nothing sexual is happening here. OKAY.

moving right along.

So he proceeds to tell me that he missed a deer.

{aka shot at one & the bullet did NOT kill him.. the deer - sad I know}

he was as sad as a little child.

however I get it.

Aaron just doesn't miss.

He's been doing this for TOO.LONG.

missing just doesn't happen.

back to him being sad.

he's sad. I'm sorry for him. but please....

let me return to my hott bath.

Nope.

Stripping his clothes he does.

"Ummm.. what are you doing?"

{Crooked smile}

"Are you getting in here with me?"

{Crooked smile... with a slight nod yes}

his leg enters

"Geez, let me let some of the water out"

TIME OUT!

I forgot one VERY important part.

Our bathtub.
It is not fancy or big by any means.
Its just a regular tub.
It can not fit two adults in it.
Picture this.

Now.
Picture two adults in the tub.
This was not a sexual thing therefore it is not TMI.
Okay maybe it really is.

Lover is describing how upset he is about missing this deer.
It hasn't been a great season for him... on top of missing it.
He really was down in the dumps. {almost literally}
Me ... 
I was confused on what to do {because really.. I was squished}
He's talking...

and talking...

and frowning...

I want to die laughing because really... it's hilarious we are both
knee high {literally} in this tub.

but I don't. I just stare at him & act concerned.

He's sad.

I want my alone time.

He's talking...

I hear
Loud... VERY LOUD
...
Well you know.
& s.e.r.i.o.u.s bubbles.

he laughs.
he laughs more.
he laughs harder.
he got kicked out of the tub.
I no longer cared about his feelings...
he thinks it's hilarious.
I'm pissed.


Just how many of you thought I WAS THE ONE
who fluffed?
Wrong. Never. Not me.

Is this real? Yes, it sure is! We're getting MARRIED!

Our Engagement!

December 26, 2010

was the first day of my dream come true. The day I've waited for since I was a little girl!

I heard his voice at 10:30am. Good Morning! Jessica... it's snowing outside!

I was still very exhausted from the few days before. We got very little sleep! I followed Aaron to the front door, and we watched the tiny snowflakes drop to the ground.

Aaron and I discussed how Sunday was going to be Pajama day! We weren't going to do anything but watch football & snuggle on the couch! Well... He was bursting with energy. Me... Not so much! I was a bit on the grumpy side! We sat on the couch discussing his squirrel adventure with his friend Jon early that morning. I'm hungry, let's go get something to eat. I already ate McDonald's this morning. But we can still go.

Nah. [Changing the Channels] A few minutes later I told Aaron again, I'm hungry. - Okay, well let's go. Go get changed. - No babe, I'm staying in my pj's all day. These aren't coming off. You have to go in for me. - No [chuckle] - Fine [I grab an orange from the fruit basket] Aaron says, Why don't you let me play my game [XBOX] and you go back to bed, because you are grumpy [being sassy with me]. - No, I'm not watching you play. -Okay, well what if I go to Paul's and play. - Babe, that's fine. If you wanna go, I'm totally okay with it. I'm staying right here and relaxing. - [Aaron pouts] So we decide to rent "The Town" from t.v.

I'm usually the restless one. Up and down, not paying attention to whats going on. Well, everything was different that morning. Aaron was full of energy and ready to get up and go... and he wanted me in that same mood. I wasn't. We were snuggling on the couch, me laying behind him. Every 10-15 minutes Aaron would turn around and take a deep breath and say... This Boring. We should do this.... or that....

Or let's take your Cricet Machine and make a new face for Frankie [Our Elf on the Shelf that sits in our Christmas Tree]. Honey, No. What's going on with  you? You are acting crazy! So he rolls his eyes, wearing a big smile, and turns back to the T.V.

10 minutes later...

Aaron is turning back around to me. -Honey...! - Oh, I forgot to give you a Christmas present. Go look behind Frankie! - Huh? [We play practical jokes on each other ALL THE TIME around the house, so... judging from the energy he had. I just knew something was going to jump out of the tree at me.] No, baby I don't see anything from here. - Go look! - So, I walk over to the tree, and looking from a few feet back, I say, I don't see anything. - Get closer. You'll see it. - I then lean over to look on the right side of Frankie and...

There it is. My Diamond ring hanging from an ornament hook, shining right at me.

"OH.MY.GOSH" - [Monotone voice]

"OH.MY.GOSH" as I turn around to look at him sitting on the couch, yet find him kneeling on one knee right behind me.

"Will you Marry Me?"

-"OH.MY GOSH..... [giggle]" Huh? Whaaat?

[Completely shocked & confused.] All I could think about was how grumpy I had been and now the moment I have waited for my entire life is right here.

"YES! BABY I WILL MARRY YOU!

Aaron stands up & gives me the biggest hug and kiss! He takes the ring from the tree. I was at Awe!

I still was so confused and in complete shock. I was wearing make-up from the day before. I looked a mess. I was a grump all morning. And Now I'm holding [not wearing, but holding] this 1 carat diamond ring in my hand.

- Do you like it? - Of course I love it!

Aaron then places it on my finger & all I can do is smile, say OH.MY.GOSH.  hug & kiss him.

For a good 20 minutes we sat there and laughed and hugged and kissed over & over again!

He informed me that his original plan was to ask me Christmas morning in front of my parents when we all opened stockings. So, my Mom and Step-Dad were waiting and it never happened. Mama said she was so devastated. She said when we left, she look at my Step dad & said, " This Sucks. What in the world?".

Aaron's Mom also had the same reaction on Christmas Eve. Once it got late, she realized Aaron didn't come and get the ring from the safe. She tried to call him, but he told her he planned to ask Sunday Night!

Everyone was confused, yet still waited for the moment that never happened on Christmas day!

Aaron said he felt I suspected it, therefore he decided not to ask me.

I did not expect it, however, there were so many people asking me and acting different towards me the week before, that I knew something was up. I've always said, I never thought Aaron would propose on a holiday or in front of anyone. He DID plan to do the opposite of my thoughts, but ended up proposing just as I thought he would. The morning of this cold, snowy, December day... I can honestly say I did not have a clue.

I definitely would have prepared my look. I would have been bouncing off the walls. And I would have for SURE... charged my phone, our phones up! Our cell phones were completely DEAD. I charged it just enough to be able to send a massive text to all my family & close friends. Once they knew, I then let the world know on facebook! :) He first went to Anderson's Jewelry Store in September, & after two more trips back to make sure that was the ring he wanted for me, he bought it. In October he asked for my hand in marriage. And December we became Fiance's to each other!

My Text: Santa & his reindeer forgot how good I was this year. He came back & decorated my Christmas tree with a shiny diamond ring. Aaron and I are engaged!

I can't seem to get any great pictures of my ring!

These are taken from Aaron's cell phone, and are the best I can get without

it glaring up or looking blurry!

It's a 1 carat, round cut diamond.

The band has three rows of nine small diamonds going down each side.

Also, if you can see on each side of the carat, there is a smaller design on the ring

that holds four diamonds in each of those.

There are also diamonds placed down each prong. [4]

Excuse the glare!

This is us, Christmas Morning at his Moms house!

This was an ornament my daddy sent us from New York!

I loved it! :)

[Excuse the blur]

Mama & Aaron [my step dad] gave us this when we drove over there to show

them the ring. They planned to give us this Christmas morning, but ....

Mama was very happy to know she could still gave us this ornament!

I was too. I love the diamond ring the snowmen are holding!
