I am technically not waiting since we had a very un-romantic conversation that basically consisted of "hey we should get married". . ."you're right we should" "ok let's do it". And since we are young professionals on a budget, I told him not to worry about getting me a ring, it didn't matter, we were going to get married either way. So I thought it was settled, no ring, o.k. I can deal with that . . .

Last night my parents were over at our apartment getting ready for the four of us (the boy, me, and the rents) to head out to a Sting concert (which was awesome!). It was a little chaotic, my dad on a conference call impatiently tapping his watch, my mom and I trying to figure out where all the concert tickets were, we had two, but where did my guy put the other two? He was in the shower so I couldn't ask him, and my dad was freaking out that we were missing two tickets. My mom suggested, "I think he stuck them in his wallet, go check". I walk into our room and grab his wallet open it up to search. I saw no tickets, but a yellow piece of paper fell out onto the floor. I pick it up and start to put it back without looking, but, what's this? . .

I saw snippets: It was a layaway ticket. Jewelry store name on top. I see words, band, carat, diamond.

And then my mom walks in, sees what I am holding, snatches it out of my hand, stuffs it back in his wallet, tells me to stop being nosy and walks out of the room. Um EXCUSE ME?! She totally knew what was on that piece if paper. She is in on this.

Oh my good lord you guys I am sooo excited! Is this what I think it is? I am so tempted to go back and read the rest of that paper when he is not looking cause I am dying to know! But technically I shouldn't have seen it in the first place, and some small part of me feels bad for seeing it, even though it wasn't intentional. Arghh how do I keep myself from going back and looking?!!! Is he going to ask soon?!

@VikingPrincess: I know! It really makes me excited and hopeful but totally guilt ridden and anxious at the same time! I am really wrestling with myself whether or not to go back and look. shameless, I know!

@menobride: Thankfully my mom is not the type of woman who would say anything about it, she knows that he would be so sad if he knew i saw it. I asked her to give me a hint and she just smiled and said, "I have no idea what you're talking about". Sneaky mama, very sneaky . . . And you're right! i have no idea when, which is a good thing for me, I love to be suprised!

@dance: that is so cool that he proposed to you the next day!!! Silly him for leaving it on the counter. I know one part of me is saying not to look, but the other half is soooo curious. I am so picky with my style, I guess I am just curious as to what style he chose

thanks for the advice! I will try my best to keep my little hands off his wallet. I think. . . argghh

@picturemeurs: thank you!! I am such a hard person to suprise, I ears and eyes in the back of my head, there is no way that I would tell him that I found it, he would be so crushed. I have resolved to stay away from that piece of paper and be as suprised as possible when he asks me.

I am just so truly truly humbled by how selfless he is. No matter how big, small, or what style the ring is, I feel so grateful that he is getting me a ring no matter what it takes. I am one lucky girl, for sure.

I wish I had found the reciept! haha! I knew he had it somewhere in the apartment and I was the biggest snoop EVER! I looked in the airvents, under dresser drawers, between cushions, everywhere!! When he finally proposed one of my first questions was were did you hide the receipt? I TOTALLY would go look, but thats just me :)
