A while back my SO asked my parents for permission to marry me. I was there when he did it because it would have been hard for him to do it otherwise because my dad is an over the road truck driver so he's only home about once a month, which is why I knew about it. After that, I have been really anxious and so has he. We've been talking to people about it but I hadn't had the ring yet. I tried on rings a few weeks ago and then, today he told me that something is being mailed to him and the proposal will happen within the next couple of weeks. He told me because he didn't want me to think he was dragging me along. However, I told him I don't want to know the exact date or how because I still want it to be kind of a surprise and special too. I'm excited though! I think because of what my friend told me that he is giving me one of his grandmother's diamonds, which makes me feel great that his family thinks so highly of me. That's better than the yellow diamond that I wanted. :-)
