best New Years ever...

[Shadow]

I finally got up the nerve. Ever had that shakey feeling in the pit of your stomach because you wanted to do something you knew was so right but were scared to death? I had that... but I got through it. The strike of 12 for the new year, the special kiss and the drop to one knee. It was almost like time froze. None the less, she said yes. ;D The high of highs in my life so far... hearing the one I love say yes to forever....

Congrats sweetie! *hugs* I hope that the two of you have a happy and prosperous future together.

Congratulations !!!
I'm delighted for you both .

Thats so romantic getting engaged on new years .
I bet neither of you will ever forget it

[Laurasia]

Congratulations sweety. I hope that you both have a wonderful future together. ;D

[Shadow]

Oh I doubt we'll forget it... Brandybuck knows exactally why too! ;D But it's ok. I'm thinking about going as far as to transfer colleges to help things along the way. Having to leave her again, for like the fifth time , is really making things hard. But I'm not about to let something as simple as 8 hours tear the love of my life away from me.


Ahora, para siempre, y siempre
Adoro Bretaña

I think that transferring is a wonderful idea, love. As long as you remember to wait until you have some money saved aside for the inevitable time period of finding employment out there.

Such a move may very well do wonders in relieving the various stressors in your life at this point. Your worrying about your beloved while you are so far away...your worrying about what your parents will do if they find out about the two of you, etc. Is her mother willing to let you stay with them at least temporarily? You can always get a place of your own once you have your savings built up.

As for explaining the transfer to your parents you could tell them that the new school has better programs for what you are studying, it's also closer to your "best friend". This way you don't have to say anything about it to them. You are an adult now & your personal life is your business - they don't have to know anything about it unless you want them to.

Or you can tell them why you are making the move. Just be sure to weigh what the full consequences of that may be. Especially if something happens & you end up needing to return home due to financial or other circumstances. If they are the type to literally cut you off due to your preferences it may be in your best interests to simply leave them "uninformed".

Sincerely,
Laurasia

I really think my mom knows now, which is fine. She knew about Amy... didn't really care to much for it, but she knew. The only people I'm worried about telling would be my dad's parents. They're very much Christains and well, yeah. I can always get a job transfer, and it's just inside of town like not even 20 minutes away from her house. Hopefully I don't jynx myself by saying this, but it looks like things are finally turning in our favor.

Good for you .Your dads perants reactions might surprise you if you do get around to telling them .sometimes family care more about happiness than following the rules , but not everyones and you have the rest of your life to discuss it .
I hope the move goes ok for you and wish you every happiness.
Like Laurasia said though it is wise to have some money for the gap if there is one .
