Hi Roxxx and Monica!
heheh someone left coupons by one of the registers at joanns so i snatched one yeaaa half off my course kit
I'm glad you signed up for this class... this way Monica can write a new version of her hit song "Wilton School Drop Out!!!!"
Only this time you will not drop out!!!!
I bet I have you all beat. I was 17 and DH 18 when we got married. And our son was born 2 yrs. later so it wasn't a shot-gun wedding. Which most think because of our age. It was funny because the family kept waiting and waiting for me to start showing. Ha, ha fooled them.
It's almost 1:30 it took me forever to catch up.
I thought about you guys all day. I knew it would be a little slow because of the weekend or I would still be catching up.
Seems like Cathy and I are always playing catch-up.
I hope you all missed me.
Sleep tight and don't let the cricketts bite.
Oh Mite I see you already went There are worse stories. I am sorry that it is painful for you to think about. Mine is a little bittersweet as well.
Mine:
It was the winter of 1995 BF and I (he was BF then) had been dating for 9 months I loved him madly (still do) and he loved me madly still does or so he says and actsanyhow.
Valentines day was quickly approaching and there had been much discussion between he and I on the subject of marriage, rings and what not. I had always said that I would like my ring to be in one of those jewelry boxes that are shaped like a rose on a stem (dont know if you all remember those) any way I worked in a flower shop and for some reason this was important to me
About a day or two or so before I splurged to get my nails done thinking I just might be getting a nice shiny diamond to go along with my new manicure and nail art (I told you it was the 90s)
So BF calls his family to tell them that he was thinking of asking me to marry him. They were a little shocked, never having met me and all, but were supportive for the most part.
Future SIL had just gone through a really nasty divorce, and was concerned that her baby brother might be making the same mistake of marrying too young. I was 18 but on the cusp of 19 he was 21 and just out of the Army. So she called her baby bro to have a little talk.
He then decided that instead of an engagement ring that perhaps a Promise Ring was in order. Yes this was a suggestion of his sister. (Dont hate her she is really WONDERFUL) anyhoo
The night he mentioned his, Promise Ring idea I was, of course upset, but was holding it together pretty well. We decided to go for a drive so that we could talk. We walked to his car and when I tried to open the car door my hand slipped off the handle and I broke two of my freshly manicured nails!!!! Well that was the last straw! I broke down and was sobbing uncontrollably!!!! We still went for the drive when I could finally breath again he said, Julie, I have never seen anyone cry so hard over their nails (such a man!!!) I then told him in between sobs that I KNEW that he was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, and that if he was not sure enough o get me an engagement ring then I didnt want any ring. To me a promise ring means that the guy is trying to appease the girl just to get her off his back I told him. It also is an indication that he is NOT serious!
He apologized and told me that he WAS sure then I asked what the heck was all of this promise ring BS??!!! That is when he told me about his sisters concern for him. I said to him, So let me get this straight YOUR sister gets to decide when and IF I get an engagement ring? He again said that he was sorry, and that in fact it was a stupid idea.
He still thought that people getting engaged on Valentines Day was not the best idea in the world I dropped it but was still very sad. He said when he asked me to marry him it wouldnt be just because some made up holiday said that he should.
I went on my way worked like a slave at the flower shop Val Day came. I went to his apartment after work to take the cake I had made to him. We stayed at the apartment for a while (I was dressed to the 9s) had a nice little romantic evening, I gave him his gift first and he told me I had to wait for mine I did. Finally he told me it was time. At this point I pretty much expected an engagement ring. He told me to close my eyesI didopen them he said and when I did there he was kneeling before holding a rose shaped jewelry boxYes my engagement ring was inside that box. He asked I said yes and the rest, so they say is history.
Oh thats so sweet! Now I'm all teary eyed...

Yeah... me too a little... I don't think that I've ever told that story before... not in such detail any way.
Thank you all for the compliments on my cake... I still think that would have been cool for my top tier!!!
hey monica is that rest. good i seen one near dland when we went
Buca di Beppo's? SO &%$! Good. I love it. Just two things, make sure you know you are supposed to share these things (an order of pasta is a full pound of noodles before the sauce), the breadsticks are the size of a wagon wheel...and be sure to order the green beans. Yummy! I think I may have to go back soon!

Yes Janette we all missed you...It is not the same without you.
Did Roxx share her engagement story? And we gotta get Loops' when she comes back.
Darn you! Now I want ice cream! I think I'll have to give in and go to 7-11.
Oh, BTW, whoever was asking...Pirates of Penzance is an old funny musical with Linda Ronstadt. You can watch the whole thing on youtube, I think.
Roxxx said she didn't have a n engagement story.
Hi Roxxx!

Julie-Its so weird for you to say its 1am. I keep checking my clock and its only 1030...lol.
Janette-We missed you! Its not the same without you.

Wow sorry that was rough on you... sorry it was scary. But as you already know everything worked out ok!!! And after your sis broke them in should have been a little easier. Hope so anyway
Yeah..its strep and a sinus infection. I just hate all the pressure and pain in my face. Add pain in my throat...sucks. I'm on keflex though...should go soon! yay!!
mon if you get ice cream get the gob father one yummy
julie its weird it was worse for me for some reason i think because i hid it for so long and told my dad he had nothing to worry about but oh well everything worked out we are still together and so what if our son was the ring boy lol
Sorry Bree... hope you get well soon!!!! Sometimes I use vicks vapor rub and just hold the jar under my nose...eventually things will open up... Have you ever tried a Netti pot? The thought of it is kind of gross but when you are suffering you'll try just about anything!!!
Oh and I posted another kitten picture because I was getting lonely and I think he (she ) likes to eat crickets!!!
