Big girl drinking water

Jessica is infatuated with this little girl (her niece, Addison). I guess she's kind of cute... oh who am i kidding? Look at her!

The Beginning (Jessica's Version)

Well, John has been wanting me to write my version so here goes... I had just moved to Provo and started working at Macaroni Grill..So I think it was like the third or fourth day I had worked and the restaurant was really busy and I didn't really know anyone including John and I am just standing in front of the hostess stand and one of the bussers ( John) walks by and tells me " I think your gorgeous".. I am thinking thanks but also how weird!! I mean I don't think we had even talked to each other...Plus I had a boyfriend at the time so I wasn't really interested... Some time goes on and I had gotten this kitten and seriously the day I got the cat my boyfriend at the time was like "I think he is sick and dying " so I am already attached and I end up taking the cat to the vet and I go to work that day and I am sad and John and I have our first real convo about my sick cat..haha.. Anyways I would say that conversation broke the ice between us..

One day my sister Cara (she worked at Macaroni Grill with us) was telling me that John was asking people if they knew if I was and I quote " A good girl" which I am guessing the response was yes or John and I wouldn't of dated.. So I clearly knew John was interested and my sister wanted me to break up with my boyfriend so she started saying things like I think you should date John hes so nice and would treat you better than Dustin, So I started thinking he is really nice to me (he was always helping me at work and just really sweet )and I thought he was cute
so I just started getting more and more interested BUT there was one thing I had to know What kind of clothes did he wear!! hahaha... My sister luckily had seen him in regular clothes and informed me that he dressed well. So the only thing I had to do was break it off with my boyfriend and some way let John know I was interested !!

At Macaroni Grill everyones schedules are posted up in the back so you can see who is working each shift and it was the summer and I wasn't in school so I started picking up shifts on the days John was working or trading shifts so I could work the same shifts as he did ...(he never believes that I did that but I really did) So one day I get called into work bc It was really busy and Luckily John ended up being there so I didn't mind working... At the end of the shift I had already been told I could leave but John was still there so I really didn't want to leave so I thought I can just sit here and roll silver wear and maybe he will come over..... FINALLY he comes over and says " So when are we going to hang out?" I say "well let me look at my schedule" I get my schedule and I think I said something like maybe this weekend and then I inform him I have a boyfriend and he replies " Yeah I don't care"... So that night I call my boyfriend and break up with him! And me and John have been together ever since!!!!

John or Jess... Who's more cute?

Well folks, come one... come all... step right up. Take a gander at both of these darling little ones.
The gigantic excited baby above is John "Feed me! I'm HUNGRY!" and the petite little strawberry princess below is Jess "I think... cross that out....I know I'm soooo CUTE!"
Two more pictures and it is time to vote. Once again John is above and Jessica below.

Please comment... we will tallying up them as votes to see who is more cute.

The Beginning (john's version)

Well, it was a typical day as a "To-Go Specialist" at Macaroni Grill. I had a couple of orders and it was starting to turn out to be a nice and busy Friday night. Then I noticed this girl who had just walked in the door. She was gorgeous... in fact when I realized that she just started working here I was ecstatic... (PIC #1: can't you tell I was a little excited and it looks like Juan is out to get you too Jess...) I was so beside myself I went right up to her and told her she's gorgeous. She probably thought I was some weirdo. But It took a lot longer for me to get enough courage to ask her out. I actually didn't even think I had a shot in the first place. That's why I told a buddy of mine (Israel Ingle) about her and that he should ask her out when he came out to visit us (He lives in Georgia). Well, I found out that she had a sister (Cara) that already worked at the "Mac Shack" so I asked her about Jessica. I think I actually did the junior high school thing and talked to a friend of a friend who talked to Cara for me. Like I said I didn't have enough courage to ask her out.

After awhile she noticed me looking at her, i.e. she caught me staring at her a couple of times so I attempted to talk her. Our FIRST conversation was all about Jessica's favorite thing in the whole world... CATS!!! P.S. I'm allergic and have asthma so I wasn't the biggest fan. But at least I had talked to her! I tried the method of doing sweet things so that she might notice me, meaning I would be right there if she needed anything. Oh Yeah, she took advantage of my help. I would setup tables for her and clean other ones even though it wasn't my responsibility. Then one time I was helping her I noticed something and I knew I had to take advantage of this perfect opportunity to actually converse with her. So I walked up to her and asked her what her favorite color was? I told her my favorite color was pink... big lie. I actually said that because I caught a glimpse of her delicates when she bent over. She was wearing a pink thong! I remember she was kind of caught of guard that my favorite color was pink but she didn't think anything of it until it HIT her later. I thought that was pretty smooth but once again kind of childish. (PIC #2: The first picture of Jess I took)

Then I started catching her looking at me so I knew that I just had to build up the courage and ask her out. It was a busy night and I had been "cut" (allowed to go home after closing duties) when I noticed Jessica was still here. It was abnormally late for a hostess to be here so late but I realized that her sister was still here and she was rolling server's silverware for extra cash. That's when I decided that I had to do it. I remember a bad case of the butterflies just like before you box some one. I tried my best not to let her know how nervous I was... so I probably over did it.

I asked her nonchalantly, "So when are we going to hang out?"
She said something like, "I don't know."
"Well... Can I get your number?"
The killer reply right here, "You know I have a boyfriend?"
My heart skipped a beat but I told myself to be confident, "I don't care."

And Ladies and Gentleman that was that. She broke up with her boyfriend that night and we hung out the next.

(PIC #3: Here is a pic of some friends at work (Cara, Sarah, Cam, and Dave) by the way Sarah IS okay with living with cats just in case anyone is looking for a room mate.

........ And the story continues another time.
