So BF and I have not been in any rush to get engaged. He's in his radiology program for another 16 months, and I was sure he wouldn't be proposing before then. Over Christmas, his brother got engaged - and we're SO excited for them! Although nothing is really planned yet, they've been discussing ideas. We can hardly wait to hear when their big day will be!
Well, the other night BF and I were talking about how unexpected this engagement was...and he says "I know, it sort of messed up my timeline". WHAT? Does that mean he was thinking of proposing in the near future? Every time we hear a couple's engagement story, BF whispers to me that he already has a plan...but I've always thought it was just teasing me. I really was thrown by the thought that maybe he actually is considering proposing within the next year. Excited...but totally surprised.
Anyway, I'm trying not to read too much into his comment. I must admit though, that I was immediately excited about the idea of getting engaged sooner than expected. Neither of us want to overlap his brother's wedding - but I suddenly "want it now". I'm like a kid who found out that Christmas was going to be in April this year...and then it was pushed back to December again. I shouldn't be bummed that my proposal was "delayed" when I never even knew it was possibly coming earlier...but I totally am.
Help keep me grounded here girls...
