get engaged

Cat and I were tlaking about marriage and such, and all the stats that goes with it. Apparently, if you live together for more than a year, the likelihood of you having a divorce goes up a LOT! So I convinced him to ask after less than a year. I’m kinda hoping that, depending on whatever happens, he’ll ask me sooner. He wants to be married by the time he’s 30…he’s got less than 3 years.

He finally told me that he wouldn’t ask me until we’d actually lived together for at least a year. I understand it, and I’m glad that there is something solid. He’s right, as usual. It’s frustrating, because it’ll be at least another 3 years or so I spose. Ah well…it’ll make the bond better or it will fall away. I should feel secure where I am.

we barely have time for each other right now, let alone money or gas. I keep feeling that being together is so far off, and it depresses me more than a little. In my book, it’s about 2 years away…in my dad’s probably more like 4 or more. The economy sucks, so I don’t know how well we’re going to do, especially b/c he doesn’t have a good job right now. All these little worries about the future….all I can do is pray and be thankful for what I have. “Someday” is pretty far off, but it’s getting closer all the time!

so during the middle of the Renaissance Faire we were holding on campus, my friend literally out of nowhere grabs me and gets me to come with him to the mall so he can buy an engagement ring for his beloved. it was so amazing…he got her a small, pretty ruby ring (she hates diamonds) and we were all on edge the whole faire, waiting to see if she’d come. But, she had to work and she’s got finals, so he’s going to wait til everything’s done and keep us posted. It brought out the wistful in me…but hey, I’m a lonnnnnnng long ways from that. Lord bless them <3
