Officially Engaged!

Yesterday still feels like a dream. Andy gave me an early Christmas present, an engagement ring! I was so surprised! I'm still like, wow! He couldn't wait until Christmas to give it to me. We took it to get it sized, so I hope it comes in next week! I'll have pictures when I get it : )

We don't have a date set, because we're taking it one step at a time. This was the next step after 2 years dating. I feel like I've been with him forever already. 
Next step after this is to help him find a farm to milk his cows. If there's a small house on the land that would be an added bonus. It seems so hard to come by, being in an area that's surrounded by farm land. 

I'm just daydreaming. I told the woman I babysit for that I'm spending Christmas with my "well, now fiance.." She was so excited for me and gave me a hug and congratulated me! 

*sigh* : )
We've talked about getting married before, but we just left it at that. Which doesn't mean we changed our minds. I don't care if we're engaged for 5 years! As long as we can find stable ground to get our lives as a couple together. My rule of thumb, to be living together before getting married. We can get away with being engaged and not living together (for the first year or two - depending on how lucky he can get finding land).

Again, I'm in no hurry. I was perfectly happy taking it one day at a time before the ring came into play. But I'm just as happy!

He kept asking if I like the ring. If it was a "Yes". 
Of course I said YES!

I also said, "You know, a lot of girls look at the ring and go YES. They say yes to the ring and not the man it seems." So I looked him in the eye and said YES!

To hear him say I'm the love of his life, and he wants to be with me forever brings a tear to my eye, just thinking about it.

I don't know where I would be without him. He has helped me through a lot over the years. And not just the past 2 years. We've known each other for like, 6 years or so.

I have never loved anyone this much!
