Blood pressure is about 235/110 right now...(aka freaking out)

[Angela1977]

Well, just found out that my BF called my mom last night to set up a "meeting" with her for tonight at 7pm. He cracked when I asked him what he was doing tonight. (We work together and we were just chatting.) I asked, "so what are you doing tonight?" and he got kind of coy and quiet and said, "well, I''ve got a meeting tonight". And then he told me that he''d called my mom last night and was going over there to have "the talk". Oh, mom is good...she hasn''t let on at all. I, on the other hand, am completely freaking out. The ring is arriving on Thursday (he''s having to take the day off work, so that''s how I know). So my heart is pounding...
I need to calm down. If I went to the hospital right now, they''d give me a valium. Actually, that doesn''t sound like a bad idea at all!

awwww thats great!!! I can imagine how you feel.... thats crazy!! good luck...

 

[ilovesparkles]

WoooooooooooHooooooooooooooalsikujfgosujrngirgmne thats freaky and exciting!

Good luck to him and you and do you get the ring right away? LOL the all important question of course! Sorry don''t mean to cause you more stress and anxiety if you aren''t I''ll shut up now.

 

[Angela1977]

No, I don''t get the ring right away. I don''t know what he has "planned". I don''t think it will be anything elaborate...I hope not anyway. I just want something intimate, and sweet, and simple. And truthfully, I don''t care if it''s 3 months before I get the ring...it''s just nerve wracking. I''ll be glad when the "talk" is over...for both him and my mom. My mom tends to get nervous about things, and I know he''s nervous doing it, so it''ll be good when that roadblock is over, you know? I don''t know...I could get it this weekend. I could get it in June. I have no idea. This butterfly in my stomach needs to DIE though...he''s evil and he must be stopped!!!

 

[ilovesparkles]

Sorry bout the butterflies! What do they need to talk about? Is he asking permission for your hand? I think thats romantic. I just can''t imagine what they need to have a meeting about? Hmmmm now you got me wondering too.

How exciting angela!!!! you are a brave girl I dont think that i could wait 3 months for my ring if i knew he already had it. But good luck!!!! its just around the corner

Angela1977, this is fantastic news!!!

Do you guys have any special occassions or dates coming up? If you are both hoping to do something low key and intimate for the proposal, it could come at any time!!!

I''m sure the meeting with your mom will go well --- I think it is adorable that they are both nervous!!! Sounds like you have two great people in your life!

 

[Angela1977]

ilovesparkles, yes, he's asking for "permission" to marry me....seems funny to say. I'm 28 (29 in July), he's 35, we both have our own houses, we're adults, and he's asking my mom to marry me. But it's cute. I can't believe he wanted to do it, but I think it's great and I know my mom really appreciates it.

Yes, it would drive me nuts to wait 3 months, but I guess all in due time. Truth be told, I don't think he'll be able to wait that long. He alluded to something like no more than 2 weeks once the ring arrives, so we'll see how far into two weeks (or past two weeks) it is! I think it will be burning a hole in his pocket.

I'll just be glad when tonight is over. I'll be able to settle down a little bit and just sit back and "wait" for him to do it. There won't be any roadblocks left...he'll have the ring, he'll have talked to my mom...all will be greenlit. Still, I'm so nervous, and I really don't know why!

Oh, and no special occasions coming up...we're in a dry spell for a few months. So I don't really have any "clues" as to when it will happen. Good and bad! (I'd like to get a manicure!

)

CONGRATULATIONS!! It sounds like things are moving in the right direction! YAY!! I am completely feeling the same way (being nervous) even though I am NO WHERE near as close to a proposal as you are.. I think it''s just the anticipation of the proposal and waiting so long finally dwindling down. Anyways, I hope he does it soon, I want to see plenty of pics!!

 

[anchor31]

Wow, I can see why you''re excited!! That''s so great!!! Congrats!! Yay!

 

[Angela1977]

Well, the talk we great! I was having a panic attack the whole time, but he stopped by my house when he left her and everything was good. Now we''ll just see if everything goes as planned when the ring arrives tomorrow. Then we start the waiting game...
I''ll be on pins and needles everytime I see him wondering if "this is it." I''m really not trying to hurry it along. I just don''t want to be nervous everytime I''m going over there to hang out and just watch South Park.

 

[anchor31]

That''s great to hear!!

Keep us posted!

This made me laugh, I think every LIW knows that feeling!

I''m glad to hear that the talk went well, now hopefully everything works out with the ring.
