I would always give Jesse a hard time, asking when I was going to get a ring and when we were going to get married. I would always hear, "I'll do it when I'm ready, it'll happen." We would always see the commercials for Kay Jewelers and I would say, "Every kiss begins with my ass!" Everytime someone would get engaged I would tell him, "oh look, someone else got engaged!!" and he would just roll his eyes at me.

Well you get the point. So by now we've bought our first home and decided we're ready for kids. One weekend we were supposed to go to the lake with all our family just as a camping trip and have fun in the water. Well the weather went to crap so it was canceled. A couple of weekends later I was informed that we're going to my sister in law Jackie's house for a BBQ since we couldn't get to the lake. That day came and Jesse started drinking at like 11am. Later that afternoon We're all outside listening to music and I went inside to sit because I was pregnant and uncomfortable. My other sister in law Micki comes and grabs me by the arm saying, "everyone is outside, let's go! I'll bring this chair for you!" Okay, damn! Well then the song "All of Me" by John Legend came on and I yell "turn this shit off, it's a buzz kill!" Here comes Jesse behind me and says "well this is good timing then." Gets on one knee, and says "well what do ya say?" I look at him like he's crazy and say "are you serious" about 6 times before I finally break down in tears!! Best day ever!!

So Tina would always ask, "Soooo when am I gonna get a ring?" and I'd always tell her eventually. I knew I was going to marry he,r I guess I was just procrastinating. What I didn't know was I was going to have to sell a kidney to get the ring, but you gotta do what you gotta do. The day came and we're all at my sisters house. I had to start drinking early because the nerves were getting the best of me(nothing a couple beers can't handle). Everyone knows what's going to happen except her, so they all migrate outside and take her. Im standing inside by myself ready to walk out and do the deed but she comes waltzing back in. Got a nice bead of sweat running out of every crevice possible at this time so I head to the bathroom to calm down. They get her back outside, I finish my drink, and I give myself one last pep talk. Then I walk out like a badass, get down on one knee and she loses it. I pretty much took that as a yes.
