OMG
Oh, Miss Matatora (soon a Mrs-to-Be)- Your ring is going to be perfection!!! All that hard work and research and trying-on and emailing is producing the most amazing ring that is certainly YOUI''m so excited for you!!!!! Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!
I wish I had an update now...I know the ring is supposed to be finished tommorow! Is that just amazing? It is forever and so soon at the same time. I am so curious about how the head will end up looking... the only hand constructe heads I have seen are the wire basket ones from Facets and I dont think this is at all the same...
Of my close friends none of them are engaged actually at this moment none of them are even going steady with anyone. But most of the girls that I run with here are sporting some major rocks…though not many are ideal cut. A few have HOF rings or rings from major stores like Tiffany’s.
Actually he is a tiny bit younger then I am, four days. He is an engineer though and his university has them go on 9 month internships while they are in school. He saved wisely and had scholarships as well and was able to use that money to pay off his loans. His last internship which just finished around Thanksgiving was mostly put toward my engagement ring.
Where do you want to live where you are older, do you want to stay in the academic world and be a professor?
I know what you mean about the sorority girls in their pearls with their big rocks... and sweatpants! Now that I am at UNC I see a lot of the same. To be honest I''m not sure I could have handled all the pressure to be super thin and beautiful and made up at all times while I was in undergrad. I went to school in the midwest (Northwestern) and loved it. Maybe it is a midwestern thing but people seemed pretty down to earth and perhaps a bit less focused on appearances than in the south (while at the same time, stylish, cultured and classy). In my circle everyone was so focused on career that most didn''t have marriage on their radar at all. Some of my circle thought I was foolish to get married and tied down so young but it was right for me and my career has still been pretty good so far. And now most of those girls are married too! My husband is a few years older and I just knew he was the one. It is almost 5 years of marriage now and it has been great! The early years are rough especially when you have school and student loans and trying to buy a house, relocate etc...
I''d like to stay in the city for right now, although eventually I want a cabin in AK and to be a hermit with my uncle who drives trucks up there.

Yep, I totally want to be a professor
That is very cool about your FI, I have heard of schools like that. Engineers tend to be great guys as well.
Right now I''m at UPenn...where are you doing that psych degree? Do you want to go into practice or academia?
OOooh, and a more forum-appropriate question--any hints about where or when he might ask the question?
I want to counsel Family Systems/Intimate Relationships...I really believe that the people we surround ourselves with have the most impact on our lives, more so then perhaps anything/anyone else. But I would be happy being a professor at a small university, not much interest in research though. Shame on me!
He is a great guy, he has made my life so much brighter and happier, I am at peace when I am with him.
I am an Air Force brat so I have lived all over, I went high school in NJ but have also lived in two places in GA, four in TX, VA, MD and DC. But I love the south, and not just becuase I hate the cold.
