unofficialy engaged to be engaged

last nite was a wonderful nite. after HM and i made and ate our dinner of salad, shrimps and veggies, we went for a walk on the seawall. it was a very nice nite and we did a little window shopping and talked. we talked! we actually had conversation and communicated! it was awesome!

we talked about alot of things. things that mattered, things that didn't. he talked about me "being a guy". i talked about him "being a girly man"... j/k. he says i'm a "guy" because i like "guy things" and "guy movies". well let me ask you this... who said Animal House was a "guy movie"? and why are electronics considered "guy things"? so what if i don't want some pink frilly plant thingy or bath and body smelly stuff or some diamond earrings. yes, diamond earrings would be nice, but i would totally dig a new receiver, too. i like my toys just like anyone else. is that so bad? i think not.

the discussion got more serious at home. HM's been banned from "future talk" around me, but every now and then, he slips it in. i'm not gonna lie, i do it too. but mine is more of the fun-teasing nature (at least it is to me). so last nite he says he can't wait 3 more years. my original plan is that i can't marry you until i've known you for 5 years. i've shortened it to 3 for him (because i love my honey and let's face it, i'm not getting any younger). AND he wants kids. so we compromised.

i want to be engaged for a while. at least 6mos to a year. he says, "an engagement for longer than 1 year is stupid". so here's what we're looking at... we're getting married no earlier than Fall 2006, no later than Spring 2007.

p.s. i DO NOT want my walk in closet in the bathroom!

I think being engaged longer than 12 mos is stupid too.
