LIW update - quite a weekend!

leeNY Cut Rock Total Posts: 496 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 6/24/2008	Hi ladies! I just had a great weekend and am feeling so happy I wanted to share! Sorry this is lengthy! So, this weekend was our last weekend just hanging out before school starts up again and our lives get crazy! This is pretty much all we do during the semester: I know, we're totally boring. On Friday, after he enjoyed an extended happy hour after work with some co-workers, we met up for dinner downtown. He was a bit tipsy (not too bad, just jovial and chatty!), me not so much (ok, not at all!). So I order a cocktail (dirty martini, extra dirty with three olives if you're wondering!) and we are chatting. He says we probably won't have much time to get out together this fall with our schedules, and I agree. He says "probably not until we get engaged and go out to celebrate!" He usually doesn't throw these lines out there. So, I'm feeling bold, and I say "Oh, when might that be? Say...less than 3 months?" He says: "Yes" Me: Less than two months? Him: (thinks to himself, you can tell he's trying to figure it out) Yes Me: Really, before October 15th?!?! Him: Maybe...(thinks to himself again, you can tell he has miscalculated). Well, I will tell you this. It will definitely be before November 1st. Me: I don't want to push it anymore, so I just sort of drop it. Then like 5 minutes later he asks me how I picture my proposal. I tell him I don't, and we both laugh because we know that isn't true. I tell him I'm not saying anything, that whatever he plans is perfect, and I have no lofty expectations, really. Overall, this was a really fun, flirty conversation So then Saturday night, we went out to our favorite Mexican restaurant (I told you this was the last fun weekend before school!) and are drinking margaritas (on the rocks with salt, if you're wondering. Had one for you ladies!) Our ENTIRE conversation on Saturday night revolved around our wedding - ahhh! We talked about if we would do a honeymoon, if so where, what date we might get married, I gave him a little lesson on how booking and deposits work, we talked about who would be in our bridal party, etc. It was AWESOME! As if that weren't enough, we spent Sunday afternoon watching wedding porn: "Whose wedding is it anyway?" three times in a row and chatting about the episodes, etc. So not only did we have a nice, relaxing weekend with just the two of us before we dive back into the books, but we talked about weddings AND I got an updated timeline! I am about 85% sure he hasn't bought the ring yet, and unless he's REALLY trying to throw me off (which I doubt) I am thinking he might propose end of October! Yay, thanks for reading and sharing!

That is such good news! Your long wait is coming to an end! We totally did go to Mexican town! We were at El Zocalo across the street from Xochilmocos (sp?) so we could sit outside and pretend we were on vacation in Cancun (we went last year). Hehe, I love Mexicantown... I know, right?! Thanks for your enthusiastic reply!

We have done one "in-store" shopping session, but have decided to buy online. I've fallen in love with the cushion cut, so have given him my preferred specs and said I'd rather put more of our budget into a diamond than a band, so we're gonna go with a very simple, plain jane solitaire, with a .70-.85 carat cushion. Maybe I'll upgrade someday, maybe not. Sent him an email about it a couple of weeks ago, and haven't brought it up since! So we'll see!

I'm hopeful that I'll be so busy with papers, projects and deadlines that I will have no time to worry about when anything will happen! Deelight: thanks to you, too! I am thinking Nov. 1 will be coming awfully quickly this year!

I don't want you to have to wait fully until the end of October, of course, but I would love a Halloween proposal story Also, yay for being a fellow solitaire lover! It sounds like it will be a fantastic ring, engagement, and life together

It sounds like it will be a fantastic ring, engagement, and life together Gotta love the solitaires, and thanks for your kind words! Ohhhhh, Halloween would be awesome! Of course, I don't want to wait that long, either, but I would. That's my second favorite holiday, with Thanksgiving being number 1! I do love the fall... And I am just like you, the first day of school is so fun! Everything is all fresh and new. I always make SO take a pic on the first day of school to mark the occasion. I know, it's weird, but my mother lined myself and my three brothers up on the first day of school every year to take our pictures. Those are some great shots, a way to remember each year. Ok, I'm rambling. That's all to say that, I, too, love that day and it would be a cool day to propose, but I am sure it won't be that early. He starts school Monday! My ideas are: 1. I am running a 1/2 marathon mid-October, and have fall break the next two days with no school. Maybe at the finish line? Later that night in my post-exercise bliss? 2. University of Michigan/Michigan State University football game October 25. We both plan to go, and it's a big family affair! A tailgating proposal could be kinda cool....(go blue!) And I'm all out of ideas. Frankly, both of these would be a little "public" for him, I think, but who knows? Ok, thanks for indulging me!

Hey Pearl... recovered from your BWW thread (about the fam) yet?? I thought you got a bit of heat for a pretty lowkey topic! ah, I guess we'll all be mums (of boys?!)one day. anyway Haha, yeah. I basically just stopped checking it until I saw it was off the main page and figured people were done. His mom sent me a card today which I contemplated posting about, but figured it'd be easier to just not say any more on the subject. Oh haha and I one of your threads earlier today about wanting an upgrade and I definitely think you should talk DH into getting one! Haha. End of threadjack leeNY, the type of ring you're thinking about sounds lovely! I recently got a cushion cut and I am IN LOVE with it. Haha. I stayed home sick from work today and spent a good deal of my resting time in bed just staring at my ring. Good luck with the studies! I'm a married woman!!!
