HOW DID HE PROPOSE?????
Lets hear how your guy proposed to you, if he hasn't then lets hear how you would like him to do it.
My husband tried to be sly and pick up my ring one day earlier then I had thought, but the jeweler actually accidently called my house to tell him it was done. I then told the jeweler to call him at his parents house to tell him. Well we didn't tell my husband that I knew. So he came and picked me up and was acting all nervous. (The reason I knew about it was because he talked to my father a couple of days before). Anyways he took me to the lake where we like to hang out on the back of his truck and look at the stars.................I know exciting right. Anyways he got down on one knee and asked if I would marry him, and I said of course. hehehe

I dont care how he does, I just want to be engaged!! Its been four years already!! lol
No, never had kids. I was just never sure about them & with my ex, it just didn't feel right. I tried for a while but never got pregnant. Now I am too old and can't anyway ...lol...Plus, the rest of my family is great at reproducing so there are lots of nieces & nephews and seems like there is always a baby somewhere.
Here's something for young mothers - my sister-in-law has her first child at 16! When she married my brother, she had just turned 16 & was 4 months pregnant with the first of 3 kids. That daughter is now 31, married and has 2 children of her own. They are great kids, extremely bright and fun to be around - but I'm not prejudice ;D. (I'm Godmother to the youngest) . I know it's hard to be a young mother but I've seen the success of it as well. My sister-in-law says that she is happy she had kids young b/c she had the energy to enjoy them. And she was - is - a good mom. Now she is able to enjoy her grandchildren and still have lots of energy!!!! She looks young too. I think kids can keep you young.
That's weird that you knew you should leave during the x-ray. Sorry that you missed the 6 generations of females. That would have been cool. I'm sure you're grandma is looking down from heaven smiling though....
Your husband sounds like a good man. My youngest brother lives in a house full of women and he loves it too. I know he worries about his daughter but he's been a great dad to her so I hope she choses a man like him when she finally gets married.
They should have classes in high school - maybe during health class - and talk about marriage and budgets and careers and children, life stuff. At least it will give kids a chance to think about the struggles they will face and maybe how they can deal with them effectively. Our role models are our parents and for some of us, that wasn't so great. However even with bad role models, there have been kids that went on to have great marriages, successful careers and be wonderful parents to their kids. I have seen miracles happen within my own family. I really believe in possibilities when people look on the bright side of situations and have faith in God.
I've been helping a friend move today so am exhausted and need my sleep now...have a good night!

Thanks Laura ~ sometimes I love your quarky questions ! They help me think back and make my heart flutter!!!
It was december, we had a christmas tree up. I was sitting on the couch when he walked over to the tree and said "where did we get this ornament from?' I continued to sit and said i dunno probably your sis, what does it look like?
He said "come and see " I said " no my leg really hurts," so that night he gave up... lol
Next day , same attempt , I again on the couch, him at the tree asking for me to come and see this ornament, I was whinning that my leg hurt and couldnt he just take the darn thing off the tree and show me. Well I decided to get up and look , and he moved away from the tree, i was asking where is this ornament? he says towards the back. I could not find what I thought he was talking about.
What I thought was just a regular ol ornament, was a star shaped purple velvet box.(w/ a screw through the top and some fishing line to hang it !! LOL )!
I did'nt know it was velvet at the time until I touched it......thats when I knew what it was. Inside was a poem to me, I read while he was on his knee...when i finished he proposed! Only to tease me about not getting up the night before! We cried and laughed
He asked my parents before hand too ! I love his old soul !

There was an old man that once said the reason that him and his wife lasted 60 years was because neither one was out of love at the same time.
My inlaws aren't really too much in the picture anymore. That was most of our fighting issues at first, and we finally just had enough. I think the day we walked down the ile was the day that his mother started hating me. Then she loved me when I was pregnant, but after I gave birth she hated me again.
She never won though because now she doesn't see her son that often, and she doesn't get to see her grand daughters but every few months or so. I guess she lost.
Sad that his mother couldn't stop being jealous long enough to be happy for her son. I believe that is what her problem is, she is just jealous.
You know one thing that I have figured out is females need to stop worrying so much about the actual wedding day, and worry about what comes after the wedding day. My husband and I should've done that, and that would've saved many arguments between us. We still argue, but not at all even close to the way it use to be. I guess your right it comes with maturity.
Have I told you the story about how we ended up pregnant with our first daughter?
My doc put me on predizone and didn't tell me it messed up birth control pill. Well the day that my great grandma died, the doc asked everyone who could be pregnant to leave the room because he needed to do an x-ray. I laughed because I didn't think I could be, but I left anyways. It turns out that I was pregnant. My family missed 5 generations of females by 6 months.
I think that was the other problem with my husband and I fighting, we not only had to get used to being married and living together, now he had to get used to living with a pregnant female, and then our first daughter had colic really bad too.
That is why I am so stern that females wait to get pregnant till they have been used to marriage first. Too hard to do everything all at once. Sometimes it can't be avoided though.
Do you have kids?
My house is no where near spotless. hehehe
It is live in clean. If that makes sense.

That's funny abt the mother-lin-law.....Ahh, at least it gives you something to do during the day, keeping her on her toes.....Must give you something to live for, doesn't it??? Don't let the ***** win.
People think that love is enough to make a marriage work but that's only on tv and in movies. In real life it takes love + maturity + the integrity to keep your commitment to the marriage vows. Sounds like you and your husband have those qualities, and were able to work through the rough times. Everyone thinks of walking out at some point. That's perfectly normal. And if you had waited another year to get married, you wouldn't have your daughter and could either of you imagine life without her?? I'm sure you can't. There's a reason for everything Laura.
I almost think it's better to marry young because you haven't had time to develop so many bad habits and have those habits harden into your personality.
Ruts are easy to get into. I can't really give marriage advice but the ppl I've known who are still together after 20 yrs have made time to have date nights and make time to just enjoy each other's company.
That is true abt my apt looking the same at night as when I leave in the morning. I'm really girlie so my apt is really feminine. I don't like junk or clutter so it's always clean. My bf is a professor so his house has a ton of books, magazines, student papers all over the place. And what is the deal with computer stuff? He's got a ton of cords, cables, old printers, hard drives, I would throw that **** out if I could. Another big difference is that he has cool toys (flat screen tv, nice stereo) while I have the same old bulky 24' tv that I bought 7 yrs ago. Still, the older I get, the less I worry abt neatness b/c enjoying family and friends are what life is about. What good is it if you have a spotless home but no friends?

You wanna know the main reason that my husband and I didn't get divorced. I didn't want my mother-in-law to have the satisfaction................. hehehehe
No seriously, it was really really hard at first. Actually my husband and I were talking about this the other night, and I told him that if I had it to do over I probably would've waited another year before we got married. He agreed. But then I thought well if we would've waited then we wouldn't have had our first daughter. So, I guess I can't really say that.
There were many many times though that I just wanted out, and it really was hard work to get through it. It's almost like one morning we woke up and everything got better. Which that was a couple of years ago.
The one thing I am very careful of though is that we don't fall into a comfortable rut.
It must be nice to be able to walk into your home though and everything is exactly where you put it because you don't have other hands messing stuff up.
