I was so surprised last night I think I was actually speechless.
A little background. This weekend E found the perfect car. He''s been wanting a new one for so long and this one was just perfect. Absolutely amazing, exactly what he wanted and on my dad''s lot. I have to admit I did think "well here we go back to square one on saving for the ring", but I wasn''t upset really b/c he just loved the car and I wanted him to have it b/c I knew how happy it would make him. To my surprise he did not use all his savings as a down payment and was very firm about not putting more down than he had decided on. I was so proud of him.
So last night he drove the car up to visit his sister. He wanted to show her the car and she has a new Wii she want him to check out. So he get to my place and we chat about our days and stuff and out of no where he says:
"When is your lease up?" I say the end of August he asks what I think we should do then b/c he doesn''t want me to sign another 13 month lease and be locked in *in my mind I''m jumping up and down*. Then he starts talking about where he thinks we should live and he very sweet about compromising so my dog will have a yard etc. *I''m speechless*. Then he says we probably need to start planning now so by August we have the perfect place all picked out and everything is in place! He started talking about buying into an urban development we both love and some other areas we would both love to live in. So we decided we would go out and look around and see what we can afford etc. maybe this weekend.
The best part is neither of us wants to live together before we are engaged, and we''re very stubborn about it. His sister bought a house with her now FI before they got engaged and it caused a bunch of drama in his family. So, I asked him if this was going to cause a bunch of drama in his family and he said "No, because it won''t be like that." *EEK* Which means he''s now thinking we will be engaged this summer!
I am so in love with this man I can hardly wait to begin out life together! I was so excited I was almost speechless so before we went to sleep I told him I was very happy and excited about our new plans, and that I didn''t want him to think I wasn''t since I was a little quiet earlier I was just surprised. He said he knew I was happy and excited and he was too.
Hmmm maybe I need to make him a ring book now.
