    So I know it's happening this summer, and I think he might have the ring, or it's been ordered.

    Exciting? Yes. But I found out in a way that I totally didn't want to at all.

    We got in a dumb argument last night that never should have happened (NOT about waiting/weddings at all).. And apparently he talked to his mom a couple of nights ago and the convo was really positive, along the lines of "I'm going to propose and things are great with us, etc etc"..

    Anyway, in the heat of our argument he yells "I'M GOING TO PROPOSE TO YOU THIS SUMMER"

    Albeit, I totally expected it to happen this summer anyway (and would be worried if it didn't happen), but he has never, ever actually said it. I don't know how to feel. I honestly feel guilty and bad for the most part. That subject had nothing to do w/ what we were arguing about, it seemed like he threw it in there to get it off his chest or something lol.

    Don't worry too much. It sucks you found out mid-fight. But we're only human. We all make mistakes. Very exciting news though! The proposal, not the fight. :)

    @gocubbies: That sucks you had to find out that way, but YAY! From the sounds of it, since you weren't even talking about that in the first place, I bet he just got caught up in the intensity of the moment and couldn't keep the awesome news to himself haha.

    I found out (sort of) the same why. I had a COMPLETE girl breakdown on him because he said he wanted nice things (expensive) for himself before a marriage committment but little did I know he was lying to throw me off.

    Luckily we have both gotten over it :)

    Awww thank you ladies for making me smile like always :) I am trying to just block the fight out of my mind and concentrate on the fact I'll have a ring on my finger within a couple of months! AH! It feels crazy to even type that, haha.

    @armychica06: YES. Nice dinner tonight. Good call! I love cooking, so I'll whip up something extra special tonight.

    Exciting news even though it came out in the fight.  I'm sure it will be forgiven and forgotten soon. Especially with dinner tonight!! : )

    That is SO exciting! And don't feel too bad about hearing the information during a fight, especially since the fight wasn't related. It would be different if you were fighting about being engaged and he said it just to shut you up. Can't wait to see you crossed off the list! What number are you? I'm pretty sure you're ahead of me.

    @Tunacupcakes: I am # 59, just one above you! Good luck to US :) But I was on WB for about 9 months or so before I added myself! If I would have at the beginning, I bet I'd be like 20, lol.

    @Oneeleven: I didn't say anything at all. There was silence, which is probably the best thing that could have happened.  I was in a shocked stupor, lol. I didn't know WHAT to say! I had so many mixed emotions at that point in time. I never said a word about engagement/marriage the whole argument!

    I agree forget about the ring and do your happy girl dance. You're gonna get some bling!

    I think a lot of us go through arguments like that, but it's okay, it's how you grow. Honestly, when I found out that I was going to be proposed to by the end of last year it did help relieve my waiting fever. I mean, of course, he waited until the very last minute (December 29th... really?!) but it was still just as magical.

     

    I am SOO SOO SOOOO happy for you! I cannot wait to see pictures of your engagement ring!! :) *Happy dance*.

     

    Enjoy your last few months as a "girlfriend". :)

    @Ctinaditty: Aww!! Thank you! I honestly feel *a lot* better now.. Just to know for sure. I think he'll be surprised at how much I shush up about it and will wish he said something a long time ago.

    It sucks that you guys had a fight but yay for having a timeline now.  Just think in a couple of months you'll be engaged so exciting.

    @gocubbies:

    I hear you! I did hush up about it a lot more after I found out it was coming. It gave me a timeline, which I LOVE. I could stop stressing and asking all of those questions to myself like, "Is he actually thinking about marriage?" "Does he want to marry me?" "Am I the only one thinking about this?!" "Will it ever happen?"

    I'm sure you know the feeling! Can't wait for you to join me on the planning boards!
