I am sorrry I haven''t been around lately...but I wanted to say congrats to all of you who have recently gotten engaged over the Thanksgiving holiday! YAY!
Over the break I went to my boyfriend''s home in NY to spend Thanksgiving with his family. It was the first time I have spent a holiday without my family and it has given me a little flashforward of what life would be like when I am married. I had a great time and the only difference really is that his family is a lot smaller, they are a lot more relaxed, and laid back. My family holidays are wild, crazy and we like to celebrate till all hours of the night, haha! So it was a nice experience and I believe that his family enjoys my company and would love to have me be a part of their family in the future. His grandfather, who is in the senile stage, was giving us advice on marriage and it was hysterical. He said the cutest thing though, "If you are in a fight, which happens every so often, never let the other get the last word. It will leave the other person with a bitter taste in their mouth. Resolve it and everyone will be happier." So true!
Anyways, I was out with my boyfriend and his friends from high school at a bar on Thanksgiving Eve. I was having a conversation with one of his friends on a sofa and my boyfriend was standing beside the sofa talking with the rest of the guys. So, I was in mid-conversation and I heard a trigger word, "Engaged," well this caught my attention so I pretended that I didn''t hear. I guess the guys were asking my boyfriend when he wanted to get engaged to me, and my boyfriend said that he is going to propose on our three year anniversary! I am so excited that I know...it is such a relief to just hear those words from his mouth. So, that will put us at December 29, 2008! About one year away. I am so excited!
Now...any of you ladies been told a year and have had it been shorter? I don''t care...I am just curious, haha. I just want to hear some other experiences,etc.
