Hi I was debating about posting this because of the criticisms that I will likely receive. This past weekend I had one of the most exciting weekends of my life. My SO and I closed on our house and renovations are fully underway. The day we got the house and the keys SO popped the question down on one knee and everything. It was absolutely perfect and amazing.

I was in total shock and no where near expecting it. I knew we had kinda talked about it but I thought it was so far in the future. I just wanted to share my exciting news.

Also Thank You to everyone on here that helped me with advice these last few months it really helped.

Congrats if this is what you want...seems like a strange engagement announcement . I think most couples just say something like 'I'm getting married'.

I guess but I do not know when we are getting married no date set no plan for now just enjoying the moment.

Yes that is the term. I am happy and excited was not expecting it. I will say the way he purposed showed me that he truly gets me and knows me. It was simple and sweet and just us. The ring is so pretty and something I would have picked out. He did it on his own and did good.

I am glad it is shiny and pretty. I hope you like it as much when the shine is gone and it needs a good cleaning.

Good luck !!

Well, it will comfort me. I said we signed on a house never said I put any money into it. Actually my SO got mad at me because I kept say when I move into my house, he was just kept correcting me saying "our house". I said give me time I am use to being alone.

I am not a jewelry person at all. I never wear it except my cheap earrings. I will say it is fun to see the sparkle and it is pretty.

Congratulations!! You can always have a long engagement. Two of my friends have been engaged for awhile: one for 3 years and the other for 5.

They were really happy for us when we told them. Lots of hugs and congratulations. His mom was like we can throw an engagement party. I was like ok.... all is really good.

Thank you Granny. I know it will not be the easiest road ahead. I do have a lot of faith in my Fiance and I do believe we will try very hard to keep the lines of communication open. Thank you for the words of kindness.

Congratulations!

Now if you need help picking out the best and biggest room for your skid I'll send over my mother inlaw with her measuring tape..... she really did that!

Get a pre-nup, and one that covers what will happen when the skids fail to launch, don't graduate, ask for extra money, want a car, etc. Make sure it includes a clause that no children 18 or older will live in your house.

Honestly? None of that will be enforceable as a pre-nup.

(In every state of the US, anyway - I can't speak to laws in other countries)

congrats Ash - ....

but remember, getting married to SO, does not mean becoming a maid/nanny/driver for his child Wink
