    So, I might have gotten myself into a little trouble yesterday... I was putting his laundry away when I noticed a strange bump at the bottom of his drawer. The female in me couldn't resist lifting the small stack of shirts covering the subtle hump, and when I did.... A RING BOX! Let me tell you, I never expected to nearly have heart failure over a navy blue leather box, but I just about did.

    To make matters worse (ducks from super judgement & snarky commentary), I opened it. I know, I'm absolutely horrible and I have nothing to say for myself, no excused what so ever... but, I am SO relieved that it is in the house, COMPLETED. The last time I saw it was back in February, it was an empty setting and now? It is this outrageously incredible ENGAGEMENT ring. It sparkled even at the bottom of a dark dresser drawer. It honestly took everything in me to close that box and cover it with that stack of shirts, but I did and now I can not get the image out of my head.

    So NOW I can't even attempt to stop my mind from wandering... WHEN?! It HAS to been soon, right?! How is he just casually strolling around the house, knowing that beauty is just hanging out in the bottom of a drawer?! I want to shake him!! lol. He is such a perfectionist, I am certain he is waiting for the RIGHT moment and blah blah, and I know I'll adore whatever he has up his sleeve, but COME ON!! Let's get this show on the roaddddd!!!

    Someone send SO a goose in the bum for me. ;)

    @With Love Whitney: Instead of a goose in the bum I want to give you a foot in the bum!  But I totally inderstand - Around X-mas and my B-day I am ALWAYS snooping - it's the spoiled only child in me.  I know you're way too excited now but try to pretend like you haven't seen it or else you're going to end up torturing yourself and thinking that every moment will be the moment he is going to propose.

    But on another note ... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

    @CrystalBlackheart: I know, I know. I'm the EXACT same. :X I have been doing everything in my power to act like it was nothing... If anything, I'm probably more relaxed now that I know it's definitely sooner than I had imagined. Oh, it was just SO pretty... I can not WAIT! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

    Nooo, you're not snooping.  He should have done his own laundry!  For such a perfectionist, he sure didn't handle the hiding spot well!!!  

    At least let the proposal be a surprise.  It's bound to happen soon!!  EEEEEEEEE!!!!!

    Oh and always have your nails done...

    @gocubbies: I needed extra whites so that I could wash my small load of whites. ;) Typically, I don't do his laundry! lol.

    If you happened upon it by accident, by all means you had remarkable control not putting it on and spending some quality time with it! Props :) try to hold it all together while you wait, good luck!

    I agree with @texasgirl29 no judgement at all - I could not have stopped myself from opening the box. It is taking all my might not to snoop because I know he has organized the ring - just not 100% sure its in the house yet. 

    I agree with the other girls: get your nails done and look exited - and try never to tell him Wink Hopefully it will be very soon!!

    Aw that's so cute! I would have put it on to make sure it fit and possibly snapped a quick photo so I could look at it again and again... I was in a horrible mood when I knew my ring was in the house and had a week and a half left to wait... gah (he ended up proposing sooner because he knew that's why I was annoyed lol!) I hope you get to wear it sooooon!

    Hopefully he won't torture you much longer and proposes.  This is so exciting but try your hardest to not try it on!
