I haven’t posted in a long while – I’ve just been really busy with work and summer – plus the 2 weddings I’m in this Sept. But I thought I’d still post that I am finally engaged!
For those that are interested – here’s a quick recap of my story. We’ve been together for 10 years (since we were 18), we purchased a house together 2 years ago – which is when I would say I started waiting. It’s been a looong couple of years waiting – but we did make steps to this point, going ring shopping and discussing more and more about our future together. There were very hard moments where I thought it was never going to happen – but I tried to remember that I am lucky to have found SO and to be happy in the relationship at its current state.
I’ll probably post my proposal story in the proposal section – but the gist of it is we went camping this week and went on a hike wed evening and we stopped at a cliff overlooking a river. When I turned around to continue the hike – he got down on one knee and asked. Even though I’ve been waiting a while and knew that it would eventually come – I was still surprised and startled when it happened!
I also want to say that although I haven’t been very active lately – this waiting board really did help me throughout the wait! You ladies have great advice – so thank you!
And here’s a ring pic 😀
