So, here is the promised Squee post:)
Now that I have squeed to my heart's content to Hagar by phone, time to post the full details of last Friday.
(the poor girl had to deal with both of us squeeing one after another. She took it well, though, thanks for the ear,Kitten:)
Anyway: I have been badgering
antongaru for some time now that this 01.03 we are four years, it's obvious to both of us for a good part of that time that we want to spent our life together - let's make it official. he kept postponing each time, and he had some logical reasons too, but I really wanted to get on with it.
So. This time, I had a hunch something is plained - he took care to verify I will be free this weekend. But, I had no idea what he is planing - just a special gift or a Ring.
So, we are sitting at a nice restaurant called Hugo ( nice food, delicious view and location - we sat outside and had a view to the sea, and lovely soft wind. I was purring loudly for this).
And at the dessert stage, we exchange gifts. He hands me over a beautiful, hand made karmic cup from an artist we know and love for some time - he ordered another cup for himself. And I was very happy with the gift, but thought that's it, he is postponing again. ( there is a funny story here. A week after he had our cups ordered, I am calling A (the artist) myself, and saying I want to order two cups... she nearly died laughing, told me to call next week, and then ignored my attempts steadily since than...apparently the good lady did not want to make two identical gifts for the both of us. )
Anyway, I could not help but mentioning - "um... it's our fourth year, when will we go official"?
He said with a completely straight face: " Amm, OK, what say I will give you some general forecast in March? I promise a preliminary answer till the end of the month. "
I was happy enough with that and out we went, for a walk by the sea.
And as soon as we were there, he is saying " well, looks like it's March already" and hands over the rings...
and me, I start to jump around, with everybody in the general area ( complete strangers, but - (Israelis ) cheering us.
Than we were so high we went for another dessert in a beloved place, and here we are.
Today morning, I walk into my office, and as soon as I get in, every one is on their feet, cheering and screaming. I nearly buried myself alive, since so much attention made me really awkward but it was also sweet.
Now, all the family and friends already know. We will meet with the family in two weeks to celebrate - before the shit because of the operation and the anger about me not telling them and going my own way will fall on our head.
And I hope also to have a private הרמת כוסית with Hagar soon, since she is much more family than friend for both of us and we are really close. And she was involved with the Ring planning from the start - her close friends Mother is the one who designed it for us. So.
Now I better give
antongaru his computer and go eat. ( My laptop is dead. I asked Shear to recommend me about a new one, and also Hagar, but meanwhile will have to share, alas.
