Hmmmm- maybe i''m wrong???

Well- BF and I sat down this past weekend (after going to a jewelry store to check out settings) and made a joint budget. We realized we blow threw Way too much money and need to be putting it towards our future house- which we hope to purchase by X-mas time. Anyways, I said- well what about my birthday- I just bought him all the stuff he wanted for his b-day without regard to a budget- mine is in August. He assured me not to worry about my b-day... alluding to I''ll like what I''m getting- well just about the only things I Ever tell him I want is an engagement ring and a house- soooo hmm.

Later in the conversation I said- well with this budget- how does that play into our understanding of being engaged by the end of the year- and he said something like- well, it may be a month or two longer blah blah blah. Which, was not the answer I wanted to hear! and he saw how it made me sooo sad, and he said- "well you KNOW its going to be a surprise and I don''t care if you don''t like surprises- but you have no choice in that matter and there is a 85% chance that its going to happen by our original plan.

THEN I found out that he has a little chunk of change saved up currently- and I asked just where that money was going along with the tax bonus check we get next month. (Meaning- towards his car or the future house) and he seriously stumbled over his words... well uh.. uh uh.. to the house of course.

hmm uh huh suuure.

I''ve been wrong many times before, but I don''t know this time I might be on to something. Not to mention that lately he''s been into looking at bridal sets. He''s given me a price range and basically told me to pick out what I want and drop him the hints and he''ll see what he can do. YAY! He''s Never been even slightly interested in all of this. On Saturday when I did find a setting style that I liked he was asking me all kinds of questions about it. And I don''t know- but Saturday we went to lunch and a movie- but drove seperately. He followed me back to my house (this is RIGHT after finding *The* setting i liked) but he ended up having to "go to the bookstore" or something he was about 30 minutes behind me- I don'' tknow that I asked where he went. As soon as he came back he was like... now you liked that ring didn''t you... like you Really liked it?


HMMMMMM I just don''t know- he''s a tricky guy and LOVES to torture me and build me up when I REALLY want something... and then try to throw me off of his tracks completly... this just seems very different to me.

I''ve honestly not even sat down and thought about how.. differently he was acting this weekend until just now.. and I''m feeling all jumpy inside. I even have a little theory as to when he just might do it.... Yay!!!!! I''d be soooo happy!


Ok- I''ll try to calm down a bit... but i''m just having one of those LIW moments of pure joy over the prospect that maybe just MAYBE my time is soon coming.


Thanks for listening to me blabber!

Not to exacerbate the anticipation or get you all riled up for nothing....but I''d be peeing my pants with excitement at this point!!!

I''d be jumping up and down too if my SO acted that way.

I think you and I are on about the same time line! At first I thought fall was way too far away and now I''m just loving every minute of this journey. I just love that every time we have a little talk I come away with a few little things to get me even more excited, and personally I think he slips them in on purpose b/c he loves to see me this happy. He so sweet

This sound suspicious...suspiciously exciting that is!!

*crosses fingers*

**sends dust!**

I hope that he got it and has it stowed away somewhere! Does he know your ring size?

Thanks Ladies for replying--- I''m trying not to think about it b/c I''m suspicious its going to be the end of July before anything happens- but its just one of those things I keep tucked in the back of my mind and get all giddy when I momentarily think about it.
He wouldn''t know what size I wore if someone asked him- but I always just wear the rings out of the case- so I''m guessing its a 6.5-7 (I don''t even officially know- yikes). He just knows they typically fit right when he buys them- I''ve never had to have anything sized for my left ring finger.
I brought up how I''m so happy that I found what I wanted- for a price around what we want to pay- and he was like oh- send it to me again- I really want to look at it too. It was just funny b/c typically he acts like he has no idea the website or what store something that I want is at (all the while in the past he''s had the gift or scoped it out on his own many times- and knows Exactly where it is)- and he actually commented on how he was excited about it too and that he really liked the design of the ring. (we have very different taste in jewelery and we agreed it was important that we both like what we get- since its a symbol of our relationship).
On top of this- I was looking at wedding-y type of things last night just b/c I was in that kind of mood. Dresses, stationary, cake toppers, etc. (its all on the David''s Bridal website- and I was just browsing through- as I had no idea they had so much stuff). I showed him these invitations for I''m guessing a Vegas wedding- they looked like giant playing cards. He''s into all things Vegas and plays a lot of poker- so i thought they''d be funny (not for our wedding- but just as a hey- look at these- hahaha) and he got a good laugh (BTW- I do not mean to offend anyone if you have chosen these wedding invitations- for particular couples and weddings they could be cute- they''re just not for us). But then was asking some genuine questions about wedding ettiquette. Usually he just laughs and kind of moves away from the wedding conversation.
Anyways- once again- I''m sorry for just blabbering on. I''m off today so I''m way super excited thinking about all the possibilities as I do my laundry.
