Thread: Wow.....what a turnaround!! :)

  1. #1

    Wow.....what a turnaround!! :)

    Okay....I really can't decide if I'm supposed to be happy or sad, lol.....something bad happens, and then two seconds later something amazing happens.

    Unfortunately, no good news about my dad yet.....however, the story has definitely changed as far as my boyfriend [er, well.....you'll see ] and I go.

    As you know, we were in a little bit of an argument for the past few days [roughest few days I've had in a long time]. Josh [my boyfriend] called me earlier today and asked me if he could come over later tonight. He ended up coming over at 6 or so, and we sat down outside on the porch and talked for about an hour and a half. He told me how much he missed me over the past few days and how much realized that he doesn't want to be without me or lose me again. I may be an idiot for letting myself fall into it, but my heart melted when he said that.....and just the way he said it.....-->sigh<-- lol. We worked everything out and things were basically back to normal, and before I knew it he was down on one knee, holding my hand, and asking me to marry him.

    Silenced in complete shock, all I could do was stand there, mouth wide open, and stare at him for a good five minutes or so. lol. Even after 4 years of a serious relationship, I could never have pictured the day he would ask me to marry him. Surprise, surprise, I said yes.

    Hold on, though....before you start thinking I'm an idiot, lol. Yes, I'm only 21.....but I never said we were going to get married anytime soon. We've decided to have a long engagement and probably won't even consider actually getting married for no less than like a year and a half [even two years, possibly].

    I know I sound crazy, but I really love him....and when I'm not with him, I'm miserable. He makes me so happy, and when I'm with him I forget about most of the things that are really bothering me. He has been right by my side through all this crap with my dad and his cancer, and he has helped me work through it from the beginning to now.

    I don't think I've ever been this happy in the longest time. Eek!! lol

    Okay, now that I've rambled on about this and spilled my guts, lol.....I want to know what you think. Do you think we're being ridiculous??? I really would like your opinions.......please? Are we too young? My parents got married when they were around 24....and by the time we actually set the date and really decide we're ready, we'd be around 23 or 24. The key point in that last sentence was that we won't set a date until we're ready. So, what do you think?

    Thanks so much, guys! I'm absolutely ecstatic right now!

    Emma, he loves Moose....and Moose absolutely adores Josh! I think sometimes they pay more attention to each other than they do to me. lol

    That's great news too!

    I mean how could this go on if there wasn't a bond between them? That's great that they both like each other.

    I am so happy for you!

    Congratulations! I am very happy for you.

    I think *many* people are mature enough to marry by 23ish. Age doesn't matter if you are meant to be.

    Thanks, Tonya....and I completely agree! Thank God, my parents do too. I just called them to tell them, and amazingly, they support us. Wow, didn't see that one coming. lol. And yes, I told you guys before my parents.

    Congratulations!!!!!! I am very happy for the 2 of you.

    I think you are fine, agewise. You are mature enough to consider your age, that says something. Plus you are not rushing into anything that is good also.

    I think you'll be fine.
    Bob & Joey,
    and their happy and willing slave, Bryan.

    Many Thanks to Kay for the Picture.
