    9 weeks until one of the best/one of the hardest times of my life. Yes, we'll be long distance.. but SO promised he'd propose by then :) I'm so excited to be one step closer to marrying him. Then 2-ish years until we get married, if Fall 2013 still works out school-wise and career-wise. :)

    I'm at that stage where it feels like time is dragggggging and I'm feeling pretty jealous of engaged/married friends so I'm VERY excited for it to happen!! I just need to share and get a little support to keep holding on to the excited feelings so I don't get bitter about other people's engagements/weddings. I'm trying not to be that girl.. and trying reeeally hard not to talk about it to J.

    Anyone else in this incredibly antsy stage??

    Congratulations :) At least you know it's happening! I think we all feel that jealousy of other people sometimes, and the time can really drag once we start thinking about engagement non stop. All you can do is enjoy your relaitonship with your soon-to-be-fiance and enjoy this exciting stage in your life. Yay!

    Congrats DATE TWIN!! (hopefully, we haven't booked a venue yet) That is very exciting!! 

     

    We just got engaged last week and it was very hard not to be looking for it... he shocked me by doing it on a Thursday night when I got home from work because he knew I was expecting it that weekend. It's hard, but try not to be constantly looking for it. Enjoy everything you do and when it happens it will be AMAZING! 

    Don't focus on other people. Busy yourself by brainstorming ideas for YOURSELF and looking for inspiration online, that's what I've been doing!

    I hear ya! :P my bf told me he was going to propose soon as of yesterday and def. wants to ask before I go back to school. That is in 6-ish weeks. EEEK ! I am so flipping nervous because I know it's coming, I just have no idea when and I want to be excited not like... eh, sure...  yay okay! because i've been expecting it all summer.

    I think I'm most anxious for when it DOES happen. How will it feel? Will our relationship change at all? I'm not good at having lots of attention on me and I'm just wondering how his family will take it since they don't know me very well and live far away. His brother is getting married this Sept. and so far all the family focus is on them and engagement hoopla. I just want some of that for me.... but am anxious it may not be the same for us, happiness-wise with all the wedding stuff going on.

    lol. On a funny note, I realized yesterday that I've been doing my nails more lately and making sure my hands look nice before I go out with him... haha every time. A girl can never be really prepared I guess ;)

    Hang in there! What an exciting time of life, I'm sure when it happens it'll be worth it and then some.

    @SimplyChic11: Oh, I do the nail thing too! I say it's just because I like looking nice but never before in my life have I looked after my nails like I do now. Yay! I'm excited we're on a similar timeline :) I can't wait to see your "he proposed!" post.
