To my future husband....


who may or may not exist,

One of my biggest fears (hyperbole, it's actually one of those little nagging fears) in life has been that I would fall in love with someone who would propose to me with a hideous engagement ring. And my idea of hideous is pretty all encompassing since I am not a fan of jewelery at all. Therefor, I have found a picture to help guide you into finding a ring that I would love to wear. How horrible it would be to have to wear a typical engagement ring my whole life and hate it. Actually, Troy found the picture. Troy who was supposed to be my husband! since he is my perfect guy height at 6'2" and the sweetest guy a girl could ever hope to spend time with. even if he did punch me in the nose and shovel dirt in my mouth last year (he did worse to poor Katharine). Thanks Troy! I wish you every happiness that life affords. I will think of you when, if ever, I do get proposed to (is that weird? that i would think of you, now, when another guy proposes? poor sucker). Well, i suppose i mean if i take up a proposal since I have definetly been proposed to twice already. weird. can any of you see me married? oh man, would that ever get in the way of my nomadic, temptation driven lifestyle. hence the 'if ever'!

    ugly jewellery is a huge fear that we all have though! i do have my dream ring though i think, and its currently sitting in the back of my underware drawer. i wonder what i should do with it? i know, that i probobly wont wear it again, as its used and all, just by me, but then why do i keep it? that particular ting has old feelings behind it. it was given to me when it shouldnt have been, and it was worn when it shoudlnt have been. it almost seems like the ring did something to my relationship, but now that its off, both he and i are truly happy. wierd eh? and its si funny, because i say that i never want to get married. and i do and im sure i will, but its a huge fear for me. and we all do or do not get married for so many reasons, and the fear of failure i think is up there on my list, along with the fear of not going through with it! for obvious reasons! either way, whatever works for you, then do that!
