Nuptials

Today, I decided to commit to a life of blogging! You may ask yourself; what is it about TODAY that has made this single little lady decide to BEGIN blogging? Blogging on a page that has been created for at least 1 year if not 18, 24 months...or more. As most of civilization knows, tomorrow is St. Valentines Day; a day that has NEVER really been of much interest to me...now that I look back on it. In the early years I suppose it was exciting to see IF you were going to get something delivered to school, but now...how excruciating was that?!? Living in anticipation of what MAY or in most cases, may NOT show up.



Anticipation. Anticipation I suppose it what inspires this desire to begin blogging. For 4 years...well let me first say I've had a boyfriend in my life in same way, shape or form for almost half of my life. For the last 3 years and 7 1/2 months I have been dating a man just almost exactly 5 years my senior. We have been through family births, family weddings, friends weddings, family deaths, friends near death experiences, career changes, bouts of jealousy, we've lived apart, we've lived together, we now live apart again, we've talked about marriage, we've talked about babies, I've bought my own house, he's bought his family farm, I've bought real estate, he's bought more real estate, we've been on work related reward vacations, we've been through A. LOT! As one may imagine, or perhaps be asking yourself....and WHY aren't you married? Well that's where anticipation and blogging come in to play. That life of anticipation I lived in my early teenage years...I've found I am living again in my late 20's. I fear and wonder and think and dream and sweat and analyze on most days WHEN this man will propose.(the anticipation) More so, 99.9% of the time there is not 1 single day of the week that passes without someone directing conversation with me to that very topic.(the blogging!) My significant other finds it very disturbing that people ask me such questions and he finds it most obnoxious that I share with him these conversations at days end. I am certain he is convinced that I seek such conversations and this new blogging of mine will be just what it's titled..'a day in the life...'. After an old friend picked up the telephone today and made a phone call to me to find out whether or not I was anticipating a ring tomorrow I began to chuckle. I said to her 'I swear, I am going to start keeping a journal of the conversations that I have with people regarding this very content'. Her suggestion to me? Start blogging! On my way home today my mother phoned and I was telling her of this new revelation and her reply was '(heeeheeehee) I wish I could remember all the people that have been asking me lately'. SERIOUSLY?! Yeah babe, it's just me, coming up with all these random people to  talk to about why you won't marry me. NOT! People are stopping my folks and questioning them too!



So...Blog #1, February 13, 2014 @ 9:55pm (after I've secretly dropped off his Vday gift and left a sexy card) I sit here in my bed, at my house, on my computer, with my 10lb guard dog keeping watch at my feet to tell you of TODAY'S episode of 'Do you have a ring yet?'



*NO! I. do. not. HAVE A RING! and I do not anticipate one tomorrow!. A good friend from across the state called today (you know it's serious business when your girlfriends are CALLING instead of texting or facebooking you) to see 'how I was'. I'm GREAT! Just focusing on work and being healthy and doing my thang! She says 'sooooo, no ring yet?' NOPE. No ring yet.



Welcome to my blog! :) please, do return for the additional episodes that WILL come as a result of the next time I'm asked about a ring or being married or what's he waiting on or what's your maiden name or doesn't he have a clue or what's the hold up or how long has it been etc etc etc!



At 29, the anticipation of being a wife and mommy is killing me!!!
