proposal is coming ... waiting is sucky!
So I know my bf has been working with a jeweler on an engagement ring for me. He's been asking more and more questions about my preferences and double checked my ring size. We have even picked a tentative date for next summer (we know a spot on the beach by our house where we want to exchange vows, and needed to figure out how far out we had to reserve it, so we looked at dates). He has even started calling me "Future Mrs. B." So I know the question is coming, but I also know it won't come until after his sister's wedding in June. But the waiting is driving me insane!!
I need distractions, ladies ...
Re: proposal is coming ... waiting is sucky!
You could research some stuff in a few different databases for me. If nothing else, it'll put you to sleep.
Other than that, I got nuttin. How exciting and frustrating all at the same time!
I have a chapter in my thesis that needs finishing! It's all yours if you want it!!
Squeee! How exciting!
Haines, if you're on Pinterest, can I follow you? I am already following FormerlyAk
Absolutely!
All good ideas, but ...
The pinterest thing, well he wants to ask my parents and be all traditional like that. Too many friends follow me on pinterest and it would get back to my parents if I was pinning wedding stuff. But I do have a few wedding magazines at home that I thumb though.
Databases? I have had to do that for work when we thought of a transition from one to another. Definitely a snorefest, but maybe ...
Thesis!!?? Ack! I remember writing my thesis, and many a tear was shed in that process. never. again.
It is very exciting! Patience is just not my strong suit.
And Haines!! Any progress on your situation? Do you think it will be soon?
I'll make a separate post about my situation. Mostly good stuff...but I also feel like waiting sucks!
I'm always interested in seeing potential ring pics too. That could pass the time for both of you!
Looks like I already am a follower. I LOVE this dress:
I agree.
I don't know how to post a pic in post, but here's a link to the dress I like. We are getting married at the beach, so I don't want some big, poofy dress.

Um, LOVE this cut!!! Squeee!
I definitely wore this dress for my wedding. I LOVED IT! If you want to see some pictures let me know and I can send you some. I had a cute little blue sash that looked awesome!
Ooo, I like that one, too. It's similar to my dress, actually. I kept it since I loved it, and I never did get to wear it!
