Just some updates while everything is in limbo with the house due to finance.
Keep your fingers crossed for us!
I am keeping fingers, toes, arms, legs etc crossed for Gamecock hoping it all goes well for you, honey!
One of my biggest issues now is what do I call BF on my blog now? I am so used to typing BF that I really don't know what to type instead!
I have told ONE PERSON about our engagement. O.N.E P.E.R.S.O.N!
We both want to keep it quiet until after BF's sisters engagement. And we're both a bit undecided about when we'll be telling people.
I'd prefer it to be a complete surprise. No putting it on facebook until AFTER the invitations have been recieved. (yes, that's the way a lot of our friends break the news - any news).
Initially we thought of having an engagement/housewarming party. But then I mentioned inviting my boss and some work colleagues, family, friends etc, and then I think BF realised the sheer magnitude of people that would be attending.
The house is big, but I don't know if it is that big.
Which would mean that we would be having a housewarming party, probably in April, and an engagement party.
And then BF and I were talking about how you can't expect people to come to a housewarming party AND an engagement party (a fair amount will bring gifts). So that would mean the engagement party gets pushed back for a few MORE months.
And then I was thinking, HEY that's not fair! We've attended and given gifts to a lot of engagement parties, and housewarming parties, of the same couples. So why CANT we have two parties? Just because they're a few months apart?
The main thing is the company anyway - we are not so concerned with the gifts. If people don't want to give gifts then they won't.
*sigh*
So this ONE PERSON I have told is something of a best friend. She was so excited she made me get up (in the middle of the coffee shop) so she could hug me. She's already bought me a small housewarming gift (a crystal - i think it is amethyst?) and has already got about ten plans for other things she is going to buy us, to which I've already told her to SAVE her money. She really is gorgeous and sweet. She doesn't understand how I can't be telling every single person I know. It is hard sometimes, but I much prefer it to be a complete and utter surprise to everyone once they get the invitations. I am just impatient over HOW LONG I am going to have to wait.
what do I call BF now?
