I know, in THIS day in age, why the HECK would we do this? Anyway, I was completely content with remaining engaged, for the rest or our lives. :) At Christmas he announced to everyone, "are you all ready for a wedding this summer?" Confused I looked at him and said, "who's wedding" As it came out of my mouth, I was so mad and embarrassed. So yeah, he was talking about OUR wedding, which meant I had to get my butt in gear and plan the darn thing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327991964710241536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18394742.post-44928853661243141172007-11-17T06:24:00.000-07:002007-11-17T06:24:00.000-07:00You'll probably never read this, being down at the...You'll probably never read this, being down at the bottom of 61 comments!

(can I, can I, Please??) I know that my family is lurking on my blog, but they don't comment... I REALLY hate that! <BR/>I loved this post about engagements... mine went something like this: <BR/>Him: Hey! We're pretty good at this, what do you think?<BR/>Me: Good at what? <BR/>Him: Oh. You know. This. Us. What do you think?<BR/>Me: I don't understand. What are you trying to say?<BR/>Him: -sigh- Us. Being together. Don't you think we should get married?<BR/>Me:Oh. That. Yeah. Sure. I guess so. (Never mind we too had only been dating for 3 weeks... silly silly, silly Mormons! If my kids do that I am soo grounding them!) <BR/>Here we are 14 years later... still going strong!! I am not usually that dense... but it was necessary so I could actually 'hear' those magic words!!<BR/>Your blog is a fantastic read, and might I add, an exclamation point on many of my same feelings!

So fun and sweet.<BR/>Our engagement went something like....."So, should we go look at rings tomorrow?" Come to think of it, I don't think he actually asked me to marry him, I just assumed that's what he meant, and went ahead and bought a dress, planned the reception, sent out invitations.......... I hope that was what he had in mind.<BR/> We dated for a year, and were engaged for 4 months. We probably would have been married sooner, but my mom made us wait until my brother got home from his mission. We got married one week after he got home. I later found out that my brother's mission president asked him to extend, and stay a few more months. He said he would love to, but his sister would kill him.<BR/>We have been married for almost 15 years:)<BR/>Loved your post about the Leprachauns. I think you must go to the same pre school we do.<BR/>We finally had to tell one of our kids the truth about Santa last year (he was just getting too old, I was afraid he would get teased at school) He happened to answer the door hen Mr. UPS man brought a very large package. He could see that it was something that his sister had asked Santa for. I explained to him that the gift was to be from Santa, and I would be very dissapointed if she were to find outw here it really came from, and then I said "Get my drift?" He looked very thoughtful for a moment, and then said o.k. he wouldn't tell her. The funny part, was that after that, every time anyone in our house said anything about Santa, he floated by and said "I'm drifting!!!"<BR/> Yesterday, he came up and asked me "How much is "Santa" (Quotation marks done with fingers") willing to spend on me this year? At least I could tell him "Sorry dude, we're broke, you're getting socks."<BR/>I love your writing, I will be back!<BR/>JillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18394742.post-66411181852708309692007-11-16T09:42:00.000-07:002007-11-16T09:42:00.000-07:00it warms my heart...I have been hearing so many an...it warms my heart...I have been hearing so many and i mean sooooo many marriages that didn't last...or turned out terrible...<BR/><BR/>I told myself, I must make mine work...so far its fantastic 7 years.<BR/><BR/>Yours is 11 years, and I believe many many more loving years to come....<BR/><BR/>3 cheers for your great marriage!<BR/>*big smile*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18394742.post-47737109226778614312007-11-16T08:17:00.000-07:002007-11-16T08:17:00.000-07:00Hey Sue - Thanks for coming over and leaving such ...Hey Sue - Thanks for coming over and leaving such nice Anniversary wishes - take care and see you soon.Kellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882991320065439298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18394742.post-90663193562216851202007-11-16T07:05:00.000-07:002007-11-16T07:05:00.000-07:00p.s.

Now, as I look back on it, I feel jipped. <BR/><BR/>About 11 years ago, we about lost a house (layoffs, etc.) and we were desperate for money. I ended up having to sell my beautiful dream ring. He keeps promising me a new ring and when he makes good on that promise, he best be on one knee asking me to marry him again!Carihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14088250453390627338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18394742.post-53237905429254444782007-11-15T20:57:00.000-07:002007-11-15T20:57:00.000-07:00Hey I'm number 45! :)Great story.
