Anywho! I was recently reminded by my token ginger friend [ok BEST token ginger friend] that I left out an essential part of my engagement story. I have the memory of a goldfish, and juicy details often get lost in the grand scheme of things. So this post is for Jordan the ginger, who I love so much that I’ve promised to name my unborn child after him. Though only if it’s a girl.
One night, around the time I had given up on the concept of matrimony altogether, I flung myself into bed and onto something small, hard and totally foreign. Paul has a habit of teasing me for being uber-sensitive since a single wayward hair-tie or crumpled blanket can make me toss and turn all night. He used to joke that it was so very Princess and the Pea of me. It quickly crossed my mind that he thought of the cutest freaking proposal of life. Hiding a ring box under the mattress? I could barely contain my excitement!
The prank was unexpected, to say the least, but my reaction was slightly predictable. I chucked the apple at him. Then Bullet promptly ran off with it. He acts fast when produce is on the loose.
I love your stories- full of fun and humor! And you should bake something with apple…and hide oh I don’t know one of those costume gem rings inside! Ha…Oh and yeah…that zucchini bread is the bomb!
a la Full Metal Jacket? They’d be a lovely sub for soap.
They occasionally need their heads pulled out of their rectum. It’s a common problem.
P makes everything in life difficult
as do I =)
aww thanks S!
Haha you will — and then you better share them with me so I feel less nerdy! =)
whatever mofo
right? annoyance is an essential aspect of true love =) Love it!
I’ll eat them in a dish at a restaurant or at friends houses…. but they are NOT allowed in my house =)
I *love* reading these posts, you are beyond adorable. But really – how can you not buy apples?! they’re just so tasty and crunchy and amazing!
That’s cute! Ah annoying the crap out of each other – true love.
Lets make it clear, you will NOT be allowed to adjust the spelling of baby Jordan’s name in anyway. You are welcome for reminding you of this story and all others. Can’t wait to see you and the big headed one soon. <3
I love your stories friend. And I agree with Cat. Just put the apples in a pillowcase and smack! I would have killed the BF if he even did one fake proposal!! And I can relate to thinking that the BF has forgotten about proposing….he is pretty busy with his job and goes out of town a lot…maybe he just forgot? Who knows right? It seems to have worked out for you though girlie! 🙂
Y’all are so freaking adorable. Love the stories you shared!!!! They made my day 🙂
Now this is just a fab. story… although at your expense. I hope I have fantastic stories to share like you someday!
Love it! You guys are too cute!
AND….you should totally name your first daughter Jordan. that’s my daughter’s name (except with a “y”…Jordyn!)
Ahahaha. F**king apples. Love it. Knowing me I would have probably broken my back on that thing and been able to use my pain as a way to make him feel bad and guilt him into the ring. Luckily it wasn’t that hard for me!
beat him with apples. many of them.
