Ok well I know I hardly ever write on here, but decided it was time to write a post, and cuz I'm sitting downstairs with nothing better to do while T gets some extra sleep. As everyone knows by now we're engaged. Yes the proposal didn't go quite as I would've liked but we're engaged and that's what matters. I am so happy that the parents have all been told, what was weird is that T's parents were actually the ones that took it the best. Of course they've also been through a child getting married before and have never been divorced. My parents on the other hand got married young, we're together about 10 years, had me, and split up like 3 years afterward. Plus I'm the only child so it's a big deal that I'm going to be getting married. Needless to say this makes for a real pain in the ass because my parents keep saying well it's ok to get engaged, but could you at least hold off a few years on getting married. Except T's parents are absolutely against the idea of any of their children, well at least the girls we don't know how they'd feel about Victor, living together with a significant other unless they're married. Fortunately I think the fact that her parents forbid us living together without the wedding ring make for a good argument to my parents as they seem to accept that and move on. I know I still have months ahead of arguing with my mother. I love the woman, but she seriously needs to learn to trust my abilities. I could almost see shock on her face when I went through everything Teresa and I have already thought about and made decision on regarding our life together. She was actually clueless enough that when I told her we were going to get engaged she asked me, "Well what if you go to grad school in D.C. and Teresa is still working in Delaware?". I love my mother but her lack of faith in me and my planning, especially when T graduated with a degree in finance really gets on my nerves. But the good thing is that both my parents, even if they object recognize that its my choice and they can offer advice, but aren't dumb enough to try to forbid anything. Still have to talk to them regarding money, cause we are not making T's parents pay for another wedding all by themselves. Especially since we're trying to keep costs down it shouldn't be too much money for any of the parental units. Wow this is one hell of a ramble. Guess I should do this more often just sit down and start typing and whatnot. Alright well anyway, in case you guys are wondering my feelings, yes I am so incredibly happy that T and I are finally engaged. I mean I told her back in January that I wanted to marry her so yea the fact that we finally are engaged makes me a very happy man. I hope everything is going well with all who read this and yada yada yada, brain just shut off, so bye.

P.S. Very angering article, le sigh, time to seriously call up God and tell him he needs to straighten out the people who claim to be talking for him.
