a hooray, a vent, and a stomach full of chocolate milk

i hope those who had a 3 day weekend enjoyed it well! I took friday off so i could have a 4 day weekend, becuase boyf agreed to go shopping with me on friday for... RINGS. yep, you heard me right! I''ve been pretty indecisive about what styles i like. well i finally found a perfect ring (okay, a couple, but one i REALLY love), great price (i do have to keep a budget in mind), fits like a glove, etc. E and i spend a good hour at EE robbins looking at styles for me, styles for him (found him some great ones!) and enjoying the free soda we went to the mall as well to look around, but since we had been there plenty of times i didnt feel like looking at the same thing over and over again. lucky boyfriend!
so we leave EE robbins (and they now have all the styles down for us) and we get on the topic how "how soon". E informs me that it will be soon, enough and not to worry becuase "he has a plan". Well, E''s idea of soon is within a year. my idea of soon is within 6 months (and honestly by the end of the year is soon). So imagin my dismay when E tells me that its going to be "awhile" (read, up to a year). So, i get annoyed becuase whenever we are out with friends and he''s had a few he always starts telling me how he''s let his good friends know, and leads me on to thinking it is going to happen in my definition of soon. on top of that, i know he hasnt even talked to his parents about it. So E will say that the reason it would take longer than i thought is not becuase he is rethinking marriage, but becuase he has a "plan."

Thanks for letting me vent. Everything besides that is great and wonderful, and even when we walked by the wedding dress shop he said "oneday, hun, oneday"

oh, here is a picture of the set i am in love with. it is a scott kay rope design.

the ring is lovely, i''m glad to hear you''ve found something you love!! talking timeframes with boys is always frustrating, mine gives me confusing little clues, too. but since you''re already in the ring shopping phase, and since you''re pretty sure you only have a year left, you should try to just enjoy yourself!! i know that''s WAY easier said than done, but i really think you''ll be happier if you try not to think about it.

(i''m currently taking this approach, it''s definitely making me feel a little bit more sane.) good luck!!

it DOES make it easier for upcoming anny''s and birthdays (including christmas) and valentines day.

but man. 6-12mo is SOON?? boys ARE weird!!


thank you for the compliments on the ring. its so delicate in person, and it fits our "traveling" lifestyle (sitting on a boat doing nothing

)

I know it''s hard...trust me, I''m going through the same thing...but try to leave your bf alone on timing. If you''re already involved in the ring selection, then leave it to him for the when and how of the proposal. I''ve been bugging my bf on when he''s going to propose and he finally just told me to let him have this one surprise. And it''s true. As hard as it is for us to wait - and as much as we have the "I want it now syndrome" this is the one thing that he really gets to look forward to and plan. Let your guy surprise you. It''s probably the one part he''s been dreaming of for his whole life.
