Ok, so if any of you have followed my posts lately (sorry they are infrequent, law school finals suck a big one, excuse my French), you will know that Mr. LR told me he is in the process of buying my ring.  I know this for fact because I saw his email and he was talking to a jeweler.

Well, last week, the night before my first final (seriously, good effing timing, right?) he told me that it wasn't going to happen before Christmas and he didn't want me to get my hopes up thinking that it was going to.  He said that with being out of town for work that there was no way he could make it happen because he hadn't found the perfect diamond yet and he wasn't going to get anything unless it was absolutely perfect (*sigh* isn't he the greatest?).  I'm totally fine with this, and I appreciate that he was thoughtful enough to tell me before hand.  He said he didn't want me to know anything about it period, but he felt bad it wasn't going to be before Christmas and he didn't want me to be upset (totally ridic because I wouldn't be, but the thought nevertheless is sweet).  He also said I'd get a Christmas present out of the deal lol Win win for me all around I think!

Well, fast forward about a week, and every time we talk, it seems like he bring up the fact that it is NOT going to happen before Christmas every time we talk.  I don't think I'm making up how often he brings it up because it's seriously every day.  He told me yesterday that he couldn't buy me a ring for Christmas (like a right hand ring) because I was going to run out of fingers to wear them on (presh), but then (very belatedly) he was like "even though you won't be getting your shiny ring before Christmas."

My girlfriends think he's messing with me to try to throw me off.  I think he's being serious, but I could see him trying to pull that because he knows how awful I am with surprises (I"m seriously the 24 year old who arrives at her grandmother's house Christmas morning and heads straight for the tree to see the presents and try to figure out what's in them.  I'm like a 5 year old.  I hate knowing something is coming but not knowing when, how or in what box.).  For fun, I'd like to see what you ladies think!  Y'all have way more experience in this than I do, so I figured it'd be a fun thing to do.

@spaneshal: haha I know right?  It's like "OK I GET IT!  You don't have to keep rubbing it in like salt in a wound here!"  Thank you!  I hope it's the latter for me too!  I'd love to have a shiny new ring and be able to say "my fiance" when we're with our families on Christmas!

@Caroheart:  Thanks!  It would be fun!

@LaviniaRose2013: My now FI then BF did something very similar actually- we were going on vacation for a week and I thought it was coming in then and he sat me down before we left and told me I absolutely would not be getting it on vacation and he didn't want me to be in a bad mood the whole week thinking it was coming (I was not so good at wait, but come on it'd been 6 months since we looked at rings).  Multiple times leading up to leaving he told me I wasn't getting it to the point that I got suspicious he had told me so many times.  But we got to our vaca spot on Sunday and still nothing by Thursday so I finally believed him and he proposed Thurs night haha.  It does sound like he's being suspicious, but expect nothing so then you won't be disappointed no matter what happens!  Can't wait to hear!  PS- I'm studying for finals now for my MA program and it completely sucks haha

Thanks ladies!  My thoughts are that it could happen and it might not happen, but either way, I'm really excited about spending Christmas together!  Of course, I want it to happen RIGHT NOW lol but unfortunately, we don't control those things!  It'll be perfect when it happens, but I think it's fun to talk about all the "what ifs"
