Hey ladies!

Just wanted to share! My darling and I have been together for 12 wonderful years today! I can''t believe it - it only seems like yesterday we were in our final year of high school, wagging classes to hang around with each other and helping each other with our final assessments for school. We even went to his final year formal together, we look so young in those photos! And now, we have a home, 2 wonderful ''fur-kids'' together and many happy memories.

He is my best friend and treats me like a princess. I just wanted to tell the world that I love him to bits and I appreciate all the little special things he does for me.

Don''t forget to send a little bit of fairy dust my way today, just in case........

Thankyou so much for your kind words guys! I''m in a great mood today, just loving my baby and thinking what a lucky girl I am! We are both working today, but we are going to nick off early at around 2pm so we can lounge around for the afternoon and then have a late dinner at a nice restaurant - I can''t think of a better way to spend the day (well, except for the work bit).

Thanks for the dust, hope it''s magical!
 
**************DUST****************



Ok, so I know you are going to love and appreciate and feel amazing about this wonderful man of yours regardless, but I do hope he proposes soon! I can''t wait to be over the moon with excitement for you, love!!

Happy 12 year anniversary!!

I''m wishing you 12 more wonderful years together!
 
Congrats on your anniversary, Honey! At 12 years, you obviously have a fantastic life together, but I am still throwing dust your way. And, if it doesn''t happen on the anniversary, no worries. That only means that your SO is looking for excuses to have another day to celebrate you and your fantastic relationship!
 
How wonderful to be celebrating your 12 year anniversary!! Congratulations and hopefully you will be engaged soon :) I''ve been with BF since junior year of highschool too so I also love looking back at high school and prom pictures to see us together :)

Hey ladies!! Well, in case you are still on the edges of your seat wondering, I am still on the LIW list! But I AM OK!!!

We didn''t have such the great anni we planned though. Long story short, my baby has been working crazy hours lately on call for a max security prison. He fixes like everything in the place that falls down. Anyway, there are usually 5 on them that rotate their 24hr on call weeks (which means he can be called in anytime day or night, and does!!!), but 4 of those people quit and now it''s just my baby working his behind off and his supervisor helping. Thing is, he has been there since the place opened and is the most experienced, so even when he isn''t on call, his bosses call him for help
6.gif
Anyhoo, he wasn''t on call for our night, but he has been flat out for weeks and he was so tired. That day we found out that he is loosing his work car to the new boss, so we have to buy another little car (just sold our one 4 weeks ago) and he had a bummer day at work.

He was supposed to get off early so I am home at 2.30 waiting for him, and at 4 I was getting a bit peeved and feeling sick anyway so I climbed into bed for a nanna nap. He gets home at 4.30 and he is exhausted too, and we are both grumpy and exhausted and I am feeling a bit of LIWitis at this point. Don''t get me wrong, I am going to sound so selfish here but he always buys me a card and roses for our anni, and he hasn''t got flowers and he comes home acting like it''s just another day which is so unlike him. I am like totally cool, and I don''t really expect it, but he is going on a bit about the snow trip he has planned for the next day and how he has to plan all this stuff and he races out to clean the new car for the boys (
29.gif
, hello anniversary today!!). So I am feeling grumpy as he hasn''t done anything special for me, and I spent four hours running around the day before trying to suprise him with a new snowboard, and I am feeling unloved and then he walks in the door with roses. And I feel even more like a bitch as the first thought that pops into my head was he only passed the florist on the way to washing the car.

Anyway, we get to dinner and he''s a little grumpy as the service wasn''t that great (our fav restaurant was closed that night). He''s falling asleep at the table pretty much and we are thinking about dessert, and he says to me, I would rather go home and have dessert in private just the two of us, so I think OMG It''s going to happen tonight!! And he turns around and says, I gotta get an early night cause I am going to the snow at 4am! I am so bummed out, cause I feel like I also plan the anni dinner, buy him nice cards, organise love hearts choccies, and try to show my appreciation and I just felt like his heart just wasn''t in it. He doesn''t put in any effort into our anni and he is spending all this time working out the freakin snow trip!

We get home, eat a few choccies and he says, well we should go to bed cause I gotta get up early. I am pretty down by this point, as I realise that''s it''s not going to happen and we climb into bed and I don''t want him to hear me cry so I sneek into the spare room and spend our anni night in bed alone crying myself to sleep. I know I am stoopid, but I can''t help feeling a bit down.

And it''s not just about the engagement thing. I just felt this anni I needed him to show me he cares and that he hasn''t changed his mind, and then I feel like a TOTAL BITCH as I know how incredible he is, and usually how wonderful and caring he is, and I guess I was just disappointed that his heart wasn''t in it and I was hoping for such a magical night I guess.

He had a big chat to me in the morning and apologized for not making our anni special, which of course just makes me feel more like a bitch as he has been working his behind off, and I am annoyed that he didn''t take time to buy me a card. I was really upset that day, but it was good as I took the day off work and just bummed around in my PJs all day.

My best buddy from work couldn''t find me, and was worried about me, and she knew that I might have been disappointed that the big night hasn''t happened and she called me a few times but I didn''t feel like answering the phone. She is worried about me, so she actually called BF to ask if I was ok and they had a chat I think. Cause when I spoke to her I told her the truth - that I was really scared that he had changed his mind, and that I felt like if it hadn''t have happened on our anni, then it was never going to happen. If that day wasn''t enough then I just couldn''t see him finding another special time, and that I was starting to give up. If he hasn''t found a time in 6 months that he has the ring to ask me, then he was never going to want to ask me. And yes, I am being totally irrational and silly!!!

She just said TRUST ME STEPH, CAN YOU PLEASE JUST TRUST ME. THAT''S ALL I AM GOING TO SAY, BUT TRUST ME! PLEASE DON''T GIVE UP YET, IT''S ALL GOING TO BE OK!!! I AM SURE HE JUST HAS A PLAN UP HIM SLEEVE.

So, this friend is the only friend that knows about the ring, and BF knows that she knows about the ring, so I think they may have had a little chatty the other day and she knows something!!!
6.gif
I think BF was worried that he would come home and I wouldn''t be there anymore. So I think he may have let my buddy in on a secret.

So, sorry for that long post/rant/vent whatever it was. I feel terrible that I was disappointed, it''s exactly what I didn''t want to feel. But BF is acting wierd now (not in a bad way, but different) and friend definately knows something. I am just going to sit back and chill
32.gif


So ladies, you will have to be patient with me! I know somethings up! I can feel it. My Mum is being wierd too, I think, but maybe I am being paranoid. She definately doesn''t now about the ring, but maybe he has had the talk to Dad? I know I have got my hopes up before, but I just feel something in the air I think.

My 30th is on Tuesday............. And my big party on Sat night. Don''t tell me I need to start another thread about getting me through that one too hey
9.gif


Thankyou so much for being here for me. I almost feel like I have let you girls down not having any exciting news
40.gif


So, let me have it! What do you think?! Should I just take valium until it happens? Find a toyboy to keep me entertained?
11.gif
(joke!!!)
 
Aww...Honey, hang in there, I bet it will happen soon!!
35.gif
 
Oh sweetheart! First of all, *HUGE HUGS* for the feelings of disappointment and the fact that you snuck off to cry alone on your anniversary night. Been there, know how awful it feels when the other half doesn''t put in the same amount of effort--I know he''s got good reasons for it, and in HIS mind he''s maybe thinking, "Hey, I know our anniversary is special, but it''s NOTHING compared to this PROPOSAL I have up my sleeve" and that''s why he didn''t go all out--because in his mind, he''s thinking he''s already gone all out for something else. That''s my theory, anyway--what I know from your posts is that he is normally such a wonderfully demonstrative, loving guy, that I don''t think him being tired from work is the *only* thing that would''ve been in his head that day. Just a guess, of course!

That being said, though, I can totally understand why you would feel the way you did, especially with him having the ring for so long. In your place, I too would be worried that he was getting cold feet, and (even though it would''ve been predictable, which is maybe something he didn''t want?) I was thinking you were more likely to be proposed to on your anni than any other day and that THAT was why he was waiting so long. I was hoping you were a bit delayed in getting back to this thread (ok, so maybe you weren''t actually gone for that long, but hey, I like instant updates
2.gif
) because it had happened.

I would try to chill out and trust your friend, like you said you''d try to do, even though at this point it may be kind of hard. Yay for turning 30 on Tuesday!!
36.gif
I''m 30 and I am loving it! Maybe he will do it sometime between your actual birthday and the party, so your birthday party could be a combo birthday/engagement bash? Dunno, but then he could keep the element of surprise (more or less), and still give you the chance to party it up with your crew and share in your happiness with everyone? That''s my new theory, anyway.

I think if you get past your big birthday party next week and there''s still no ring, I think you should sit down and talk with him and tell him your worries. You have been patient for a VERY long time, and I know that the proposal is supposed to be the guy''s thing and everything, but once it gets to that point where you are feeling like he has doubts about getting engaged, then I think a convo needs to take place. Clearly I hope that doesn''t need to happen, but I tend to feel better about my life if I have back-up plans, and even if that back-up plan is just talking to someone, it can help me feel loads better.

Hang in there, sweetie. I think your friend is probably going mental trying to reassure you without spilling the beans she knows.
2.gif
Which, all by itself, is pretty exciting, I have to say.
9.gif
Anyway, just for good measure, I''m sending you tons of big hugs and positive thoughts, my lovely. Like your friend, I think it will all be ok too.
1.gif
 
Awww Honey, I just want to give you a big hug
huggies.gif
, I am sorry your anni didn''t turn out the way you wanted, I don''t think your being a bitch, or irrational your feeling what you feel and I just think you were disappointed. I have been there many times before in my bad LIW days so I know how you feel and being with someone for a long time it makes it a harder as well. I am certain he has a plan and time it just hasn''t happened yet, it could be your 30th it could be some other day chin up chicken it will happen :).

I agree with Gwen he would have been completely exhausted on your anni, as someone who''s BF works 12hr shifts 5x a week when he is tired he is completely useless (fair enough) when it comes to making any kind of romantic gestures or such, until he gets the required sleep.

30 on Tuesday a whole new era for you :), time to celebrate.
 
aww honey i feel ya. mainly becuase i get annoyed and feel like the boyf doesnt care about me becuase he didnt take out the trash - LOL! - talk about irrational! At least you can admit it, but don''t feel too bad about it! You got to vent, and its not like you took a bat to his car! I''m sorry the day didnt go perfect but you do have some big celebrations coming up! hoooray for your birthday!!!

oh yeah - my bestf''s bf told me about the upcomming engagement.. and of course SHE called me the next day thinking that her boyf was never going to ask her, yadda yadda. let me tell you, it is HARD to keep that cat IN the bag!!!!!

Happy birthday!!!
 
Sigh.

Men can be such turds, but can''t live with ''em - can''t live without ''em

I feel for you both. He must be so exhausted, no wonder he was focusing on his trip with the guys. It probably feels like a lifering to a drowning man. You felt awful, tense with the waiting and hoping.

Based on the convo with your BF, I think I vote for valium and a lot of long relaxing baths. He''s got to be getting something together soon. He can''t be that much of a boob
2.gif
 
Thanks chickies! This place is exactly what I need!!

Yay for being 30 soon hey, I think I will survive. I have got a lovely bottle of Cape Mentelle Sem Sav Blanc Marg.River WA chilling in the fridge that I plan on drinking all by myself - BF isn''t really a wine guy so he''s happy to have a beer while I am celebrating with my white
11.gif


It''s all good in my life I know. I am a lucky girl. I can do this waiting thing for a bit more!!!! I have got heaps of stuff to do for my party on Sat night, at the moment I have half my oven ripped apart cleaning it (
14.gif
) and lots more things on the list to do to keep me busy for the week, so I won''t even have time to dream about that stunning little ACA that''s locked away in the safe............

It''s funny but I really wish some of my favorite PSers were there at my BDay to celebrate, it''s funny how you feel like some people who post here are actually you''re friends too. If only we were all in one place hey! Any PSers in Melb without plans for Sat night please let me know!!!!!!

Party at my place
