soo my SO and I just said goodbye to each other 3 hours ago, after spending maybeee 34 hours together? (collectively) He drove from VA, where hes based, to his mother''s house where I met him after working all day Friday. I work Fri & Sat, since I''m in school from Mon-Thurs, so I couldnt take off Saturday; but I got back from work and was able to have dessert with his family and all their friends (they had a pig roast during the day and although I dont eat meat it killed me to sit at work from 930-530) and we watched a movie on the couch late into the night. ANYWAY, although thats a sweet little summary I know it doesnt satisfy the juicy LIW details your looking for..
Sooo we were talking about when he goes on deployment in October. His mother and I are hopefully going to fly over and meet him for the holidays or for new years (whenever he''s allowed leave) and we got on the subject of how romantic it''d be if I left his girlfriend and then came back to the states as his fiance.
(esp because the meeting point currently working itself out to be a European city)
!!!!!!!! It was a shortly visited topic and I told him we can''t talk about it anymore because I''ll only daydream myself into insanity the closer it got to the holidays plus I couldnt bare the thought of self inflicted disappointment AND having to leave him after the vacation knowing we wouldnt see each other again until mid May. (As a side note... I should probably advise him that shipping an engagement ring to a navy ship overseas may be a bad idea.. right? Idk what he was thinking as far as that goes but does anyone have advice? I guess theres always the option of buying it and bringing it on board when he leaves in October or purchasing something in Europe?) I know that we''re going to get engaged eventually, but its been creeping closer and closer the more we talk about it. I wouldnt mind waiting to get engaged next summer, when I''d expected all of this to happen because we would be through the deployment period and have time to start planning... AND he''d be with me when people congratulated us. But I''d absolutely melt if SO proposed to me on a chilly winter evening under the stars on a centuries old street in (cant tell ya'' specifically, hehe) Ahhh
To end this little short story.. my SO texted me about and an hour into his drive back to VA and my separate drive back to my own home to tell me that he "can''t stop daydreaming about when and how to propose" I told him I wished he could share
