My boyfriend and I have been dating for three years now, and we finally moved in together this past September. He is from DC, and I am from Chicago.
When the attacks happened in New York and DC, we were terrified. His father works in DC on a military base. As a matter of fact, he had an appointment at the Pentagon the very next day. We couldn't call into DC, because the phone lines were busy, and we didn't know where in DC his father was: the State bldg, the Pentagon, his office on the Military base--we didn't know. It was so scary for us. About three hours later we reached his father, and found out he was safe.
But then we focused our attention on the laregr picture. We were so set in our ways; going to college, working, apying the bills--we had put off many things. I don't want to die, and wish I had done so many things. Before, I said I didn't want him to propose till he had the perfect ring. I wanted the perfect wedding. But now, especially now, I feel that I am waiting for something that won't ever happen. What happens when I do get the "perfect ring"? I'm sure I'll find something else to wait for. That's why....*smile* we are pondering the idea of getting married in Vegas when we go in November. The ceremony will be for us..and then later we could do the whole wedding/reception- dress-catering thing.
I just don't want to put off years of my life, our life, our married life, waiting for something, and then it's over.
And that's my speil
