Thanks for asking! Things are alright, could be better - could be worse. I've just been kinda sad lately, well besides my pound I lost lol. I was thrilled all day about that!

I'm jealous of my little sister as bad as that sounds. Her & her boyfriend, Julian, have been together for almost 3 years now. Well the other day Julian called my mom while Stephie (My sister) was in school (She's a senior in HS). He wanted to know if my mom was going to be home all day because he wanted to come down & talk to her. He showed up a little while later & asked my mom if she knew what size ring Stephie wears My mom told him, she wasn't exactly sure, but she was thinking 5 or 6. He is proposing to her for Christmas . I'm so happy for her & for the both of them really but I can't help but get a little jealous because it seems like that's never going to happen with Shane & I. It's pretty depressing that we've been together 8 years & have a daughter together & all & we're aren't even as much as engaged yet & they've been together 3 years. Is it wrong of me to be feeling like this? Everytime I mention to Shane about getting engaged, he ALWAYS says he knows exactly how he's going to pop the question, he's just waiting for the right time. He says it's going to be so romantic it will make the 11 o'clock news. All I want is to know that our relationship is going somewhere. I've told him time & time again that I don't need a pricey ring. I found a nice ring on Walmart.com lastnight for $170. I don't want a ring just to be able to flash it around to people. I just want to know that we're going somewhere as a couple. It's so frustrating being happy for my sister & feeling jealous because it's not me getting the ring & proposed too.. Okay that turned into a novel! But yeah, that explains the blah kinda look in my avatar picture

Edited to add : I'm off to bed for now, I'm beat & Kaylee's not feeling well so I better sleep while I can in case she wakes up anytime soon!

Aw hun, I'm sorry. I can see where that could make you jealous. But they have been together for a while, so they aren't exactly rushing into things.

Have you told Shane how it makes you feel? Do you think it's taking him a while because he wants to buy the 'perfect' ring? It can take a while to save that kind of money. (men tend to get a picture in their head of what they want, and they feel like they aren't 'providing' if they get anything less)

awww i dont blame you a BIT sweetheart!! I would feel the same way.

Shane couldnt possibly blame it on fear of commitment after 8 years...

Maybe he just thinks so highly of you that he feels you deserve a special unique engagement and he hasnt found one worthy enough yet.

im in the same boat... i hear a rumor that my best friends bf is gonna propose to her on xmas, they have been togeather for ALMOST two years, i meani would be happy for her.. but im kinda hoping he dosnt do it, because i'd be soo jellous! i mean i have a baby, i've been living with shawn longer then shes been with thom.. so yeah.. i unno... it sucks, i konw how you feel..

Rob proposed to me on Christmas lol

its so banal but still romantic.

Yeah.. I don't know when he'll propose, he swears he's gonna though so I guess I just need to sit back & relax!
