Is it terrible of me to be disappointed that I won't be engaged within the next six to eight months?
I mean, we've been together for over 5 years. Come on already.
Is it okay to talk about a wedding and expect a proposal any day now?
But unless Nick's tricking me, it doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon. Nick wants to go back to school and he wants that to happen before he proposes.
Because once again, he has this grand idea in his head that I want something I don't. This time he thinks I want an expensive engagement ring when I am perfectly happy with spending $125 or $150 or $200 or still $200. But no. He wants to get me a diamond ring or something equally gross and normal.
I am thinking of proposing to him. Just so I can get this party started already.

Numbers
Nick and I have known each other for 2164 days.
Nick and I have been together for 1646 days.
Nick and I have lived together for 512 days.
I have been a college student for 1210 days.
I have been alive for 7991 days.
On the day I met Nick, I was 5827 days old.
On Tuesday, December 25, 2018, I will have known Nick for as many days as I was old when I met him.
If we get married on the day I want to get married and don't have kids until we have talked about having kids, I will be 28 or 29 years old when I have my first child. I always wanted to have a kid before that. My mom had me when she was 29 and turned 30 when I was three months old. I want to have a kid before I turn 30 because I want my kids to spend more time with their grandmother than I did with mine. Nick's grandmother is still alive and they get to talk with her and share everything with her. I want my kids to drink and party with their grandmother like Nick and Katti do with theirs.

Crosslisted
Nick's little sister got married on Saturday. She turns 20 in November. As much of a horrible ideas as I thought getting married at that age was, after it all, I am so happy for Jess and Ryan. They obviously love and care for each other quite a bit and share the same ideas and faith. They're both silly and a little ditzy. And besides, people probably think the idea of Nick and I getting married is ridiculous too.
In the end, I had so much fun dancing and dressing up and partying and celebrating with them that none of it mattered. Not waking up at 7 to get my hair sprayed into a fake updo with 38 bobbypins at 8:45. Not getting my makeup done and feeling guilty about Nick's mom spending over 200 dollars. Not the stupid fights we had only weeks before. The only thing that mattered was seeing Jess walk down that aisle yesterday and feeling so happy for her. For everyone.
Congratulations, you two. And good luck.
I love you all.
P.S. I did not cry at the wedding (I almost did when she walked down the aisle and was sure I would) but I cried writing this.
