Well, I pretty much knew that it was going to happen. My boyfriend (I mean fiance!) can't keep secrets from me, lol. He basically told me that he bought a ring, lol. We went to my parents house last night and my dad went to pick up chinese food. David volunteered to go with him (this was pre-engagement) and when they got back, my crazy dad said,

"So, is there an announcement to make to Mom?"
My boyfriend was like, "Um, not really...."
"Well, I'll tell her. David asked me for my blessing for Jeanette's hand in marriage."

Apparently my dad isn't aware that you're not supposed to announce the blessing infront of the girl who hasn't been proposed to yet, lol. The good thing is that I already knew it was coming, but imagine if I hadn't known! I would have felt so bad for David.

Anyway, we went back to my place after we ate and visited and we were in my kitchen, and I was about to get into the shower, when he said, "Come here," and gave me a big hug. He told me that nothing really went as he planned tonight, but nothing in either of our lives normally does and he said that he loved me and that he couldn't picture his life without me and he got down on one knee and proposed. We ended up both sitting in the middle of my kitchen floor for awhile, lol. After that he was following me around like a puppy.

We're not sure when we're getting married yet. One thing we need to decide first is whether or not he should stay in the airforce. It would mean that we would probably move around quite a bit. I'm not really against that because I would love to see different places, but the only thing that is really keeping me here is my family. David knows that I am extremely family oriented. I would probably feel different moving away from my parents if things were a little different. My parents often need help financially so I like being nearby to help them. Also, they are getting older and they both look a lot older than what they are due to smoking and my dad's drinking. Sadly, I really don't think they are going to live to be very old and I want to be here for them when the other passes away. David understands all this. So we have some decisions to make about that before we are able to set a date.

What a wonderful story!

The day John asked my dad for permission the place he wanted to take my dad for lunch had suddenly closed up shop and was no longer open. They ended up at A&W which he hates and then he realized he forgot his wallet so my dad ended up paying and he worked for my dad at the point and my dad already knew everything about him so when he asked permision my dad said, "Do you know what she's like in the morning?" because he couldn't think of anything that he didn't already know about John.

But again WOOHOO!!!!

Lol, Tatiana, David said that my dad told him things that he thought maybe he didn't know already, like the fact that I can be very stubborn. David told him, "Trust me, I know." lol. He also told him that I become very quiet when I'm angry and he was also aware of that. I'm pretty sure David has seen every side of me. Although I don't think he's ever seen me cry yet.

So it looks like David is not going to stay in the airforce. That means he will be getting out in July of next year (2008). At first we wanted to get married in October just because we both like the weather but decided against it because it will be in the middle of the semester for me and also it wouldn't give David much time to get settled after getting out. That is going to be my last semester and then I will have my bachelor's degree, but I'll still need to get my teaching credential which takes about a year and a half. So, I think after I get my bachelors, I will take a semester off. I'll get out in late December and won't have to go back until August. That will give us time to have a wedding, honeymoon, and to get a little settled. Right now we're are thinking about March 8th, 2009 because that is my parents' anniversary :-)

Absolutely!!

Congratulations!!! My husband took me out for Chinese the night he proposed too! :) When Joe called my dad to ask permission to begin dating/courting me my dad laughed. Joe was so embarassed that he was being LAUGHED AT!! Well it turns out my dad was laughing because my mom was freaking out and being like "is it THE CALL?!"
