So here it is.
We met at college this past November, he was a sophomore; I was a freshman. He joined the pep band I was already on as an auxiliary percussionist. He was the drummer. So we shared music and ended up meeting alot to organize our music. He was sure from the first time we met that he liked me. I fought my feelings off. We had late night facebook chat conversations from our rooms on different sides of the campus. Finally one day I guess I just stopped fighting it and I kinda invited myself over his room to work on a presentation in a "quieter place", which was half true. We ended up kissing for the first time that night and then 8 days later (because of Thanksgiving break) on my birthday we became official while watching Batman Begins and used the day we kissed as our anniversary.
Fast forward 7 months, and he proposed to me on our 7 month anniversary and I said yes. We havn't told our families yet and only one of my friends know. I don't even wear my engagement ring, which is my grandmother's engagement ring. (My grandmother refers to him as my almost fiance, she has been since he asked her for the ring, which she whole heartedly gave to him) We do plan on telling our families when we've been together a little longer and at time when it "makes sense" for us to be engaged. We plan on getting married after I graduate from my undergrad. He's out of college now- he withdrew, and is looking for a job that'll set us up for the future and his prospects look good.
Our LDR is going to be new for us; but we're kinda ready for it. Because he won't be returning to school we'll be 8 hours away. Me in upstate NY by Niagara Falls; him in Maryland. Even when I'll be home for breaks and stuff we'll be eight hours. I'll be in Massachusetts, he'll still be in Maryland. It's kinda a big 8 hour triangle.
Our LDR officially starts on August 31st. He's been living with my family for the summer because the Army was his original plan but plans change. We're leaving on Wednesday and he'll be going home to Maryland and I'm going to be with him until the 31st which is when I get on a plane and come home and pack up and go to NY for school.
