I agree with bee. He''s just trying to throw you a curve. ''She thinks she has this figured out; well I''ll surprise her!''

I totally agree with you Holly!! Thanks for the helpful advice. Especially since you totally understand and have been there before. You are wise in this area!!

Well thank you for helping me with this. And also WELCOME. I noticed you are somewhat new and wanted to say it''s GREAT to have you.

Thanks so much! I''m enjoying my time on the board (though I have 2 other message boards I "live" on!) I really didn''t know if there is a place to introduce myself so I just kind of jumped in

Thanks for being so welcoming!

Well looking at a few of your other posts, it looks like you will be a a huge asset to this site. You have a lot of knowledge and will be very helpful with most of these topics. I am so happy to know you now. Enjoy pricescope and the LIW board!!

I agree with the others... it sounds like he''s up to something sooner rather than later and trying to throw you off. I think you might be a lot like me; I over-analyze everything and then I get disappointed when I''m not surprised. Though I definitely think you are right to be suspicious that he''s up to something, try not to think about it too much, because the surprise will be half the fun!!

Yes I totally agree with you. And I need to STOP being so sneaky and just let him do what he needs to do. I do over analyze A LOT and sometimes because of it ruin plans.

So I am going to try REALLY hard to be good and NOT be so spy crazy.

I forgot to ask-- what does your ring look like! Do you have a link to a post or a pic of it! I''m so nosy

Miss Erin all signs point to good news! Disneyland is a great place, I''ve only been once, but I''ve been to Disney World! Anyways, enjoy your time, although you seem to have no trouble doing so. You must be one of the most positive LIWs I''ve ever seen.

I am not very diamond savy but I''ll try to explain. It''s a 1920''s round cut with a simple band that fits right into the setting. It won me over in one sitting. I used to be a three stone girlie but saw this and fell madly in love. Sorry I don''t have pictures. All my friends ask me to see it but it''s in a tiny jewlery store and I thought they may consider me crazy if I was photo opping in the store. hehe Thank you for asking!!

*awe* Make me feel awesome why don''t you!! hehe I appreciate you giving me your feedback especially since you are QUITE lucky yourself darling!! I hope to keep in touch with you as you work your way to a lovely wedding.

 

[ktdid]

sounds beautiful! I guess I was thinking the ring was already in his possession! Oops! I will wait patiently till you get it to see pictures

I was originally thinking of a 3 stone, too, but have since changed my mind totally!

 

[Mannequin]

I have a feeling you are going to get your dream ring and proposal from a handsome prince on your trip or just before.

Keeping my fingers *and* toes crossed for you, Erin!

It may very well be in his possession. I''m not fully sure. I know there is a dp on it and it''s basically mine since he reserved it. But I PROMISE to post pics when it gets slipped on my finger.

BTW - You are such a perfect addition to Pricescope!! I am SOOOOOOO glad you found this site!! Meant to be I think.

 

[bluebubbles]

oohh-la-la MissEric, your post sounds so promising. You know your BF will propose and now it''s just a matter or waiting (the hardest part) hehe. but for this one, the wait is well worth waiting for. I am so excited and happy for you. Do report back if it happens in February or May. Or your BF might be super sneaky and implant those thoughts and proposes in the months in between. hehehe

*awe* Thank you so much BlueBubbles!! All the well wishes and "what do you think" advice has been so helpful. I look forward to the upcoming months even more then I did previously. I feel very blessed and ready to be with my dream man.

OMG!! How could I have missed your post!! Shame on me indeed!! Thank you for the help in my "what do you think" thread. hehe Everytime I read a response from you ladies my heart goes wild and I get the school girl giddy feeling for the months to come. I know things will pan out as they should and I will be happy no matter what.

 

[MissErin]

Dreaming big... hehe

 

[MissErin]

Update-ish...again...

So

Eric

being a TOTAL sweetheart came over yesterday and took care of me. (I despise being SICK

) So yet again the ring conversation came up. He keeps teasing me that he will propose on Valentines Day which he KNOWS I am anti about. (No offense to and V-Day fans - I am just not in love with a holiday that should be celebrated EVERYDAY, not just Feb. 14th - I know most will not agree with me) So after the teasing he said, "I promise I won't propose in Feb". So now I am BEYOND thrown off.

Silly boy has me turned around and upside down on this engagement thing.

Luckily, as I have indiated before, I'm not disppointed. I'm confused and intrigued but NOT disappointed. As I have expressed WAY TOO OFTEN, I am really loving this time as a girlfriend. Not to mention the excitement of butterflies.

I am calmer then I have ever been and ready for it, when the time is right. It's a VERY good feeling overall.

So the saga contines and I am enjoying every minute!!

The minute I saw this I thought....''He''s going to propose in Jan.''

That''s how he can promise it won''t be Feb. But I doubt he''ll make you wait til March. Enjoy the wait...you will look back on it and remember the anxious butterflies fondly even though it doesn''t seem like it now.

This is the part I agree with the most and I think I am doing a decent job keeping sight of.

For now of course. I am loving the butterflies tremendously because it dosen''t last for very long at all. I love being his girlfriend and I am looking forward to being his wife but there isn''t a rush at all. Like I said, I am calm and content. Just loving this special time.

With the Jan proposal - I''m not sure that is in the cards. As far as I know (or think I know) he does not have the ring in his possession quite yet. He is still paying it off.

And if it comes in March then GREAT!! :

I can handle that.

Heck, I could handle anytime as long as I get to be his forever.

Either way I will be happy - VERY happy.

Thanks for the input.

You ladies always think of something I may not have touched upon.

***Sidenote*** This was just Eric being sweet... Not sooooooooo much about the hints and stuff... Well until the 2nd post...


I had to include this as well - Since I have been sick and he came to take care of me he was sweet enough to bring this:

 

[MissErin]

And here is when I said "hmmmmm" interesting. hehe

 

[ktdid]

I''m getting butterflies for you! What an exciting time and in the scheme of things, such a short period of time! Can''t wait to hear the big news

 

[MissErin]

hehe I am working REALLY hard NOT to get my hopes up because he said the "not in Feb" thing. So we''ll see. Either way, I think it''s adorable he went out and got me this magazine. He is really paying attention to details and I am more impressed then EVER!! hehe

 

[MissErin]

He''s making me CRAZY girls!! haha I know I need to CHILL OUT about what he is doing to throw me off the proposal scent... But that is easier said then done... haha He was over to take care of me and bring me my necklace (it needed a longer chain) last night. We were just sitting watching TV and we saw a ring commercial. At the end he says "Feb 14th?? HAHA" and I gave him the "you brat" look and said "but you said NOT Feb". So he sits for a while and then says "But what if it is Feb?? Then what??"

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I am starting to feel like Amore with the LIW fake out comments. haha

Thankfully I can come on here, listen to what you girls think, and gain some much needed sanity for the time being.

 

[FrekeChild]

Ha ha ha ha!!!He''s got your number. I''m sorry Erin. I know I''ll be driven nuts just the same way because D is evil like that too. Jerks.
