Yay! So me and my bf went to the jewelery store on Saturday!!
32.gif

My aunt works there so we always have a lot of fun looking...i even tried on a 15,000 dollar ring! It was ridiculously too large though. It was a marquise and had a bunch of side diamonds and i would never have picked it out much less could my bf pay for it, or even want to so that wasnt the one i wanted! hah anyways....... we found "the one".Not too big not to small just right for us!!! We didnt get it cuz my bf wants it to be his thing which is cool. I was smiling ear to ear though when i held and saw it! i just knew.
So we left there and went to eat. My bf then was talking about the ring and said that he was sad cuz he had a date and time picked out for when he was gonna ask. I bugged him and asked when and why he couldnt ask me anymore then he said well we arent going there anymore. So i though in my head and acted cool and figured out when!

So i''m backtracking now to fill you ladies in....i''m a colorguard instructor for a marching band and we have band camp the last week in July and the first week in August. I have to take off for work in the pm or i wont be able to make it for camp. well i work until 5pm most days and i forgot that the 2nd week of August is camp....My bf and i were supposed to go to a drum corps show on August 4th..(if you dont know what drum corps is then you can google it..its like marching band only 10x harder and they travel around the US all summer) but realized we couldnt cuz we thought i worked.so i thought i worked until 5pm on that day. Since the show starts at 7pm and it would take us 4 hours to get there..we would have to leave at like 3pm.
So i was thinking through things and realized that we could go since its band camp and it would be okay for us to leave early from there and I realized that that is when he wanted to ask me! (it makes sense cuz he was in drumcorps for 3 years and the show we are going to is in the stadium where his corps'' hometown is where the show is....so it would be very special to him and me there... and when ever there was a show there when he was in i would visit him and we would take a walk before he had to go beack and keave for snother show ina different state...so i tried to bring it up without him realizing that i realized where he wanted to propose at..so i started talking bout band camp and then I acted really happy cuz i "realized right then" that we could still go to show and that i didnt work! I was all about making it work and was gonna take a day off from work cuz i still wanted him to ask me there because i am really sure that that is where he was thinking of asking me..and I think that he didnt catch on that i knew which was a good thing! And so now we are back to being able to go! i obviously wanted to find a way to still go and it all worked out! So im pretty sure that he will still ask me there since he realized that we could go! I am so pumped and just so nervous! I just know that is where he was talking about how we werent going anymore! It''s the perfect timing..it gives him a couple more weeks to get some extra cash together and to ask me at the place that is so special! I just hope that he doesnt realize that i have found out where he was going to ask and not do it there anymore!
I am just so happy and so anxious! I thought that knowing the day that he will ask would make this whole waiting thing a lot easier...but I am here to tell all you ladies...IT ISNT EASIER!!!

So now it comes to the countdown until August 4th...I just keep telling myself that I have to be strong and try to keep my mind off of it. But i just think back to that gorgeous ring that i fell in love with!!After i realized when he was going to ask me i have been so much more happy and just excited which is nice. and i am so happy because he is just stepping up and doing something and actually talked to me about the ring and he really liked it and its all just falling into place! I do have to say that after we decided we could still go to the sow, he was really happy and talking about the ring all that night and when he came over the day after..he was super nice and just really happy and acting weird which is good cuz he now can stick with his plan! So along with all those good feelings and happiness that we both have...i am so anxious and just keep counting down the days!
So here''s a toast to the waiting game! Stick with me ladies because i cant do it alone! i am sure that i will have quite a bit of posting in the next 2 weeks! Which is good because if im posting on here then i wont be bugging him!
Also I am so excited because my friend''s bday is on friday so i was planning on going back to the jewelery store where my bf and I were looking at rings and get here a necklace or something...which means that we can look at the gorgeous ring somemore!
He even said pretty much that it was perfect.. He is very sneaky and tells me nothing about the ring thing though so he obviously didnt want to let me know that it was the one he was gonna get, but i just know because it was the perfect size and i loved the thin band. And when it comes to him, i always get what I want!

So stick with me and we will see how it turns out and hopefully the morning of August 5th i will have a great story to tell you!

I am so nervous!!!
 
Thats awesome :) sounds like you don''t have much of a wait :) just think 20 days is not all that long and you can sit back and enjoy being a LIW with an end in sight :).
 
Yay!!!! That is exciting news

Yay, congrats! I am so excited for you!
 
thats so nice to hear.. but honestly i wouldnt go back to the store.. ya know.. what if he got it or its on lawaway or if its gone or something... you dont want that let down or if he got it you dont wanna know cuz it might ruin his thinking he is suprising you (even though u know the date). I just know me and my bf picked out the ring and I told him from then on its his deal because I dont want to know when he has it or anything so its more of a suprise.. just my .02

How exciting though!! Cant wait to see a pic of it!! :-)
 
I can totally sympathise with you! I am in exactly the same situation, I really really think I know when it will be (on his birthday) in a fortnight or so and i am going stir-crazy waiting. I thought the same thing as well ... once i know the date that will make everything better, but it is actually worse! Good luck with your patience and wish me some as well!
 
Ooo, *dust* to both you and supergirl!
 
thanks for the dust and i wish you luck too supergirl!
B and I were talking lastnite and i wanted to see what he had to say about going to the show. I told him that i really wasnt sure if i wanted to because it was so far away...4 hours away and that i had to get up at 6 the next morning..which is true but i am obviously still going to go. Well he said "no you are going with me."

He usually says A its up to you but itd be nice if you came. Nope he pretty much demanded in his voice of i love you and somethings up. (which he never does!). and i then told him that i dont know if it is worth it driving 4 hours to the show when we could just go to a show that is only 1 1/2 hours away the day before. He then said, "no itll be worth it, you are going with me." (me? his dad and my bf are supposed to go too...looks like all he is worried about is me going and not them.) haha..i am so good at poking around to see what he will say in situations like this one. I mean come on, am i really NOT going to go based on the number of hours it takes to get there when I know that he will probably ask to marry me? No, i will go and still act all unsure about going with him. I have to pretend i dont know that he will ask and act normally. I am sly like a fox....i will play the game and i will play it well.

So an update!
B and I went to teach band/colorguard practice tonite. So I just got home. When he came to pick me up to go he was all super affectionate unlike he usually is and since we get paid differently from the director of the band, he always asks us at the beginning of every season if we would like all of our money at once or in parts etc. B told me that he said yeah that he would like $200. Ok so kind of random..maybe he needs it to meet the price of a certain sparkly item...? hmmm.. and then i was being mean to him and he said, "you better watch out and be nice...no engagement ring for you!" Ok, B never talks about the whole engagement thing as much as he has been lately. And then here is the real kicker....we were driving and he looks down at my one hand and he says "you dont have your nails done...well then what if im going to ask you to marry me?"

OK he NEVER comments on my nails and such! I always point out how done there are or arent and he just says "oh yeah" He has just been more about engagement lately. Not me bringing it up. I havent mentioned anything about it since Saturday night! Looks like someone has finally gotten bit by the engagment bug!
