  • My how times have changed...

    So he did it! 

    He finally wrote my dad for permission to ask me to marry him.  lol  (I'm sorry, at first breath, you all probably thought the engagement happened.  Not yet!  But it's closer!)

    He wanted to do it in person last Saturday.  But we ended up not going home because I wasn't feeling well yet and who wants to share that with your loved ones?  So we planned on going home this Saturday, however he realized he is actually working 14 days straight - so that's not going to work.

    Finally, he was going to write a letter.  A letter he felt unable to write yesterday.  So we cuddled & talked about it (and all the head stuff too) and he decided in the end to write an email.  To some that might sound impersonal, and it can be.  But the reality is that email is a quicker letter.  It's not like he typed in acronyms or anything like that.

    And that way the turn around of "permission" or whatever my dad will write back will also be that much quicker. 

    He would have called him on the phone, but I've never met anyone so anti-phone conversation in my life!  He sounds awkward just calling his own parents!

    And yes, I did read what he wrote.  He was like "Can't you just write it for me?!?! or help me?"  Nope.  I don't think it would be right.  And it probably wasn't right that I read it, but I have no patience for these things and pretty much as soon as I realized I wasn't falling asleep right away last night, I read it.  It made me cry.  He did great & perfect & beautiful.    I'll share it here, at some point, probably after he gets the response from my dad.

    And he did ask his parents on Saturday, how they would feel.  They were happy, said they expected it.  His mom smiled & said "Ya know, I know you guys have things that drive each other crazy about the other person, but you love each other enough to look past those things.  And you seem kinda lost when she's not around." 

    It was good to KNOW that they are okay with me... and perhaps they even already love me.  (Who wouldn't?  Right?  RIGHT?) 

    So there is my morning entry.  We'll see if I can't start blogging more.  That would probably be good for me if I did.

  • Tia, my dear, I hate to say I told you so... can you believe it wasn't that long ago that you were racing from one bad relationship where you weren't valued, right into the next? And feeling like there was something wrong with YOU? I knew that if you slowed down and really looked for what you wanted that you would find someone who cherishes you and respects you and sees all the good in you and here we are at that day! I am more than happy for you and can't wait to be congratulating you on being officially engaged! (((((((hugs)))))))

  • Yeah! I remember back just a few short years ago, you were just so desperately wanting this.. and here it is. :) :):):) And I can totally remember the sentiments of the above poster, all the heartache and soulsearching that you were going through trying to find the right fit in the wrong shoes. I also am ecstatic for you.

  • Woohoo!!! Of course his parents already love you! And I'm definitely voting for you posting more often.

  • This is so cool I am so very happy for you! Of course his parents already love you They'd be nuts not to, right? RIGHT? LOL And yes, blog more often!

  • BTW - I just noticed your quitmeter below. Congratulations on being smoke-free for well over a year!!! I was going to make one of those myself but the quit year only goes back to 2004 and I quit in 1998.

  • @Kallioph - The quit year only goes back to '04?!?!  wow... that's too bad!  And congrats!  I think you're a lifer now!    Do you still have days that the remotely sound good? 

    And thank you.. to everybody.  I'll even take the "I-told-you-so's"  hehe.    It's so exciting!  And fun!  And woo hooo! 

  • I new like when you guys first started dating...and no email is not bad...my DH was even more phone phobic then your guy....he could only talk to me 5 minutes or less....however, I will say it doesn't matter that he wrote it actually I thin kit is better you can keep the letter for ever and add it to your weeding scrapbook

  • Of course -who wouldn't?! Hey, I won't talk on the phone if I can possibly avoid it either. Sounds normal to me. =)
