guys are so irritating sometimes!

[SparklyGirl*]

So again last night my bf and I were on our way to teach at band. Ok, so everything was going good, B was being very nice and then he mentioned that his father could no longer go with us to the drum corps show (the place where i pretty much figured out that he would propose at) on August 4th. Ok no biggie, he can propose without his dad there. lol.
So the thing that bothered me was that he then asked me which show i would rather go to. (there is another show but in a a different place the day before). Well since i thought he would ask at the August 4th one i obviously thought that he wanted to go to that one! So i said oh well that one. and he just seemed like he didnt care which one and asked me again which one! So i began to think that he had either never planned on asking then or changed his mind because he thought i knew he was up to something. So i said well you can just pick..thinking that he would pick the August 4th one and so we were loud about it and he said fine then August 4th! So we are still going to the same place but im not sure of anything anymore. The only thing that I can put together with this part is that he thought i had an idea that he would ask then and wanted to see if id freak out when he suggested going to the other show.
Then in my fit of madeness since i was driving B needed something out of the car during practice, so i had to call someone and leave teaching practice to the guard girls and have them bring my other key cuz i locked the keys in my car!

So then after we were done teaching, B and I drove home and he kept asking me what was wrong and i said nothing. Then he left. So i texted him and said, "im so sorry. It just kills me to know that the thing that i want the most in the world is for you to propose."
And we texted back and forth him saying the following things, which made me feel better by ALOT!
I know babe, and i want that too..itll be alrite..i promise, i love you.

I know its hard.. i love you.

I know, i hate seeing you like this babe it make me feel terrible,,u just need to know that it will get better here real soon.really.

i want to ask so bad right now. I wish you were me and understood.

Nothing is holding me back. I love you too much and want to see you happy.

Ok so i said a lot of stuff inbetween those and then i texted and asked him if what is holding him back is when he wants to ask...and he wrote..
Maybe..lets just say that my plans arent something im gonna wait around for i cant and dont want to.

Wow, so i am beginning to think asking at the show August 4th was "the plan" because by that message...it seems like he will ask sooner!
I was just so upset and its just hard not knowing what he is thinking. But the texts did help and its weird cuz i was ok with him asking me August 4th but he really seems like he cant even wait that long!

And it was funny because I keep my best friend updated on all of this and after i told her about the texts she was like...oh A its going to happen sooner than August 4th, its different this time he is really stepping up! I'm an outside source, I see whats going on! He wants it to happen sooner!
Haha it was just very funny. I guess she could be right as outside people that arent you usually see thing that you dont.
Well this post started out sad but ended happy...for now. Im only upset at the fact that i am clueless to everything he knows about the engagement..If he want to ask sooner than August 4th, go ahead baby! Right now i think that its best if i just breathe and just be okay with whats going on because to face the facts...i really dont know what he is up to because im not him. So i guess that I will just have to suck it up, believe what he texted me and try to enjoy this period of having no idea what the crap is going on with it!

I guess its moving along though because he is acting very different since we saw that pretty diamond so he probably is just figuring out when. which im sorry, i probably sound ungrateful but it so hard to know that all he is waiting for is the "when".
Thanks for listening any advice/thoughts that will help me?

First of all, YAY BAND AND DRUM CORPS!! Are you talking about the DCI shows? What corps do you guys like? And when you say you teach band, do you mean marching band? ''Tis that time of year, and I did that for almost 10 years--so much fun!!! (And so time consuming and tiring, but fun enough to make up for it.

)

Second of all, choose whichever drum corps show you want to, since it sounds like his plans for a proposal will either have already happened by then or are flexible enough to go along with whatever you most want to do, which is GREAT!! I realize it''s hard, but it''s seriously *SO CLOSE*--try to relax and enjoy your summer! A bunch of my friends are going to the July 31st DCI show in West Chester, PA and I really wish I could go too (I''m currently in England, where no drum corps exist at all, to my knowledge), so maybe it''ll be easier on you knowing I wish I could get myself to any corps show at all?!

I dunno, that''s a lame thing to say, I know, but it is true.

Anyway, it''s coming, and so soon!! And because your sweetie can''t wait to propose! How wonderful is that?!!!

Try and calm down a bit. August 4th, if that is the date, is NOT far away at all.

Stop doing this to yourself. Seriously.

Give him some space and let him do his thing.

ok, so first it is AWESOME that someone else knows what drum corps is! and yes i am talking about DCI!!!!! My bf marched with Glassmen for 3 years and we are planning on going to Toledo, Ohio to see them! I tried out for their colorguard but something would always fall through so then i wouldnt be able to march! So i know a lot of the members from visiting my bf during tour and also knowing the guard from when i tried out for 3 years.
Yes i am also a colorguard instructor! The style that i teach is very much the drumcorps style! I love it so much! My girls rock! lol. Practice is killing me though because i work until 5 on days we have practice from 6 to 830 pm!
My mind is also in other places too which is good cuz then it helps me keep my mind off of the ring. I am organizing this fundraiser with my colorguard. We will start to do performances that will raise money for the Susan G. Komen cure for breast cancer Fund. So all of the fundaisers we do will be colorguard related and all of the proceeds will go to them. I have been talking to a lady and we are going to help the cause! We will also do bake sales and are walking in a cancer walk in octover. I love that we are trying to do something for someone else. Its called Colorguards Care, specifically Spin for a Cure. I am getting it to be a big deal and plan a lot of big performances like a show, that we will do with different routines onstage every month. So i'm beginning to feel like a proud mama. lol

So i agree with you about the whole it will have already happened or he is flexible, thanks for the reassurance! Glassmen have always had a special place in both our hearts and so we just love it! I love their style too. Very different. I do have to say though that i am also a big fan of Carolina Crown. hott stuff right there! haha. wow, i am so relieved now! Thank you so much. It is also nice to hear that someone else is about drumcorps too besides the people i know here back home. People need to get into it more! lol. Thats sad i wish that you could go to a show! I definetely will think of you..hey maybe ill get a video recorder and hide it in my coat and tape the show for you!
(it would be illegally though

) and then i can post it for you! Hey its the thought that counts. Maybe I'll get a jail proposal then...

haha no they are too dumb about it though tape recording and all. I will def. be thinking of you and ill let you know who won etc so you will feel as if you were there. haha thanks for making me feel better gwendolyn!

So now i will just calm down and let him do his thing. Thanks keepinghthefaith

I agree with Gwen - sounds promising! Relax...it sounds like it''s coming soon. Enjoy the next few weeks - sending lots of dust your way!

Gwen - West Chester is pretty close to where I''m located - small world!

I think we need an emoticon for "LIW SMACK!"

That''s what I put down when you need a smack to snap out of it!

Juuuussst teasing. I know it''s hard to relax when you know it''s coming. Just be thankful that you''re waiting on a "when", and not an "if".

It''s coming! Breathe!!! and SMILE!! He loves you!

 

[trillionaire]

Yeah Chica, you really need to RELAX! Whooooo-sah!

Seriously, leave him alone about it. It''s hard, but let the man make his plans. Also, don''t get yourself so worked up about the 4th, because if it doesn''t happen that day it is NO BIG DEAL, it''s still coming! Enjoy your last days as a single lady

.

Oh, awesome, Glassmen are great! I''m originally from the East Coast (Maryland), and so I know a lot of people who marched with Crossmen and the Cadets (I myself tried out for Cadets and went to a few camps but didn''t have the money to do it

). I play/teach pit percussion, and was a marching band instructor for almost 10 years! It''s so much fun, but oi, so tiring!!

Anyway, I just posted in your other thread announcing that you are engaged (WOOOOOO!!!!!!) but I wanted to reply to this message because DCI is AWESOME and I was so excited when I saw you posting about it!! Dorky, I know, but whatev, I embrace my dorkiness!

You are too sweet to offer to video tape (and consequently get jailed) for me, hahaha (I totally loved that!).

Just have a great time enjoying some fantastic shows and have a lovely time with your honey--just try not to get distracted by that sparkler on your finger!! Congrats again!!
