Great idea. I think if I can make it to NYE without bringing it up I will buy myself a present.

Ooof! I'm in too, but come Dec 26th, all bets are off! I hope I can make it! It's gonna be hard! Good luck to us all!

I'm in!  I just have to remember that I agreed to do this or I might accidently slip.  I have well over  a year to go so this should be a breeze.  Well it might be easy as long as no one mentions their wedding plan to me.  I can't help but have to join any wedding related discussion.  You can count me in until NYE.

*hopping onboard!*

I'm in, Lets Do This!

@Chipmunk: You can do it, use here as your support system.

I'm already married, so I can't join..but I am wishing all of you girls good luck and the patience needed to make it through the challenge.  The holidays are by far the hardest time to be waiting.

Last year, I was in your shoes.  I had mentioned to my BF (now husband) around Thanksgiving that I wasn't comfortable with our living arrangement.  While we had never formally decided to live together, he had been moving in a bit at a time and by then was really pretty much living at my house, just not "officially."  He told me that things would change "soon" and that he planned to ask me "when the time was right,"  Of course, I secretly fumed about how how unfair that was and why HE got to decide when the time was right for HIM.  But I had been very clear with him about what I wanted and he had said the he did plan to ask and he had used the word soon, so I decided not to mention it again.

Christmas came and he bought me lots of presents.  He made sure I saved the little ring-sized box for last.  I can't tell how how crushed I was to open it and find earrings!  And then I felt guilty for feeling disappointed in a very beautiful (and expensive) pair of earrings.  I know he didn't miss any of the emotions that were showing on my face.  But I had promised myself I'd not say anything,and I didn't.

New Year's Eve came and he took me out to dinner.  I was all dressed up and "ready" in case he had a ring.  Which he didn't.  So we went home and decided to stay home and watch the ball drop on television.  We put on our jammies and snuggled on the couch.  Around nine, he said I have another present I forgot to give you at Christmas.  And yes, it was the ring.  He'd planned all along to do it on  New Year's Eve at midnight, but he was too excited to wait -- so I got it a few hours early.

Later he told me he had decided long before our talk at Thanksgiving that he was going to do it on New Year's Eve.  He also knew I'd expect Christmas, but didn't do that on purpose because that was what I'd expect.  Go figure.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I know what you guys are going through and I sympathize.  I was in your place this time last year.  And I did the Christmas Challenge (even though I wasn't yet a Bee)  and it WORKED.  I hope you all get what you want this holiday season too!

I kind of made a boo boo yesterday. I brought it up only because I wasn't thinking.  We were watching t.v. and it was talking about the chilean miners.   I was like oh you know that one of them proposed to his SO once he got out he was like ok.  Afterwards I was just like dang it!  I owe this to my SO mom for telling me about it.  I guess I have to start today.

@Chipmunk:  Yeah, my husband likes to make me suffer like that too.  It doesn't change after the wedding!

Good luck on the LSAT score!  I remember waiting for that was much more stressful than waiting for bar results.  Probably because the bar is pass/fail, but with the LSAT, there's the extra stress of worrying about just how well you did.  What if I did OK, but not as well as I'd hoped?  I can remember seriously considering cancelling my score...but am SO glad I didn't.  I hope you are happy with your results!
