Trying to relax!

[Tuesday]

BF and I were out shopping this past weekend (trying to get a head start on our gift list) when he asked if I wanted to go look at rings again. Of course I said yes! We''ve gone a few times before. He wants the ring to be a surprise, and while I''m confident that he has a good understanding of what I like, I think he''s still a little nervous about choosing jewelry for me. I''m not incredibly picky, to be honest. I really do think that just about everything we''ve looked at it gorgeous! For the sake of practicality though, I told him that you can never go wrong with something simple, and if I decide later that I would like a little more sparkle I can always get a fancy wedding band.

We talked some more when we got home, and while I don''t think it''s going to happen by Thanksgiving (as I did originally) he said for sure by the end of the year. I''m so excited, but I''m also a little relieved. I''ve got a zillion things going on at work the next couple weeks, and we (well, ok, he!) volunteered us to make dinner for his family for Thanksgiving. It''s nice to think that I can focus on getting through all of it without having to be on eggshells waiting for a proposal. I''ve been feeling a little anxious and overwhelmed the past couple days and when I actually stopped to tally up everything on my to-do list, I finally understood why!

So I''m going to spend the next couple weeks trying to just relax. After Thanksgiving, and once my new project at work is underway, maybe then I''ll let myself go crazy with anticipation.

YAY for you! I''m expecting a proposal by year''s end as well. I know how hard is it...the anticipation is killing me. Just trying to stay busy and focused on other things. Making Thanksgiving dinner for the family and your work project should help keep your mind off of things. Unfortunately for me, this is the slowest time at work so all I have to do is dream/research rings and weddings...Good luck to you and hope your days are indeed relaxing!
