Not Engaged Yet

I just had a realization...

So I was sitting here and read the headline for NEY, ya know the "You've planned your flowers, found a gown...but no ring (yet)? Welcome to NEY.".  

It hit me that  have planned the flowers, and I have a gown (hanging in my closet), and there is a ring (in the box and bag in his closet).  I'm not BSC though, for those who don't know...I'm just dating my exFI.  I don't know why I read the headline today, but I realized that it's been almost an entire year since he had his melt down and we broke up and I moved.  I guess I just I feel like time is flying so fast anymore, every time I turn around it's time to flip the calendar again.  I can't believe that it's almost 2012 already!

Back to the BF and I, we are good, better now than ever before and being back on NEY has helped solidify the fact that I want to be with him and only him, despite the previous speed bumps and detour.  So thank you, ladies for having this board and posting to the newbs about how if he is the one then it's worth waiting for the timing to be right...I know the advice wasn't directed towards me.  We don't get to see each other that often with our busy-ness, he has two jobs and I have one job and school...sometimes our communication suffers because of us being unable to see each other or talk beyond emails and text, but we are dealing and doing pretty darn good considering.  I'm just happy that we are together, in love and on a better path than we were a year ago! :)

Sorry for rambling, I just wanted to share my I'm not really BSC moment!

    Thanks for the encouragement and the hugs! 

    I am really happy that we've been able to overcome and we are definitely stronger for it...and we will continue to get stronger with time!  I know that some people who don't know us and the situation well enough think we are crazy, but some of the people who were skeptical at first have already came around and said some really nice things to us, including his one cousin this past weekend.  Not that we need any validation, we made the decision to try and work things out with the assumption that a lot more people would be unsure or even unsupportive than were in reality, but it is always nice to have family and friends who support you.

    Thanks Sun, so true.  I think that you're right...we are working on becoming invincible...or close to it!  The love that we have for each other is enormous, I truly belive that we are meant for each other.  :)
