Guess what?

I’m engaged! I’m so happy and so in love! Do you know what this means? In one short year I will be done waiting! I am officially 4/5 done. I have waited four entire years (+ 18 of being single) to have sex and I only have one year to go. One year!

I get to plan a beautiful wedding with the man I love, and at the end of all the planning we get our reward for patience: No STD’s, no comparisons, no babies, just the beginning of our life together in all ways. I can’t imagine a better start for the two of us.

I know this last year will be hard, but I don’t care. We have dealt with hard, and we can do it and make it to the end. No one thought we could do this, and we are going to. I can’t even begin to explain how proud of my fiance I am. The fact that we were willing to commit ourselves to this goal together makes me feel like we can commit to our marriage entirely.

And do you want to know the best part? I feel like through our relationship, we have inspired others to follow the same path. My boyfriend’s (oops, I mean my fiance’s) little sister is waiting. I don’t know if she’ll wait until marriage but she is waiting for love! That is something in this day and age! And my best friend from college has decided that in her next relationship, she will not have sex until marriage. How great is that?

I have helped some people I am very close to see how great this goal can be. No matter what they choose to do, in the end I feel like they will take sex that much more seriously. I have proved my point the only way I can: practice.

And now I can’t wait for the reward! I am so excited and thrilled to be engaged to this man, he is who I want and I am who he wants. So yay for us, and for all the others who are closing in on this goal! It is possible, and I’ll let you know in a year if it was worth the wait. ;)
