I must be working in LTC too long, because I hear the words "Amazing story", "grandparents" and "pictures" used in the same sentence and a cold, cold chill runs down my spine, my rectal orefice closes in on itself and I look for a deep dark hiding place............................

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Almost enough entertainment to make it my homepage (I said "almost"). Keep the thread going, we need more updates, and
Ok So here is the scoop. Friday night we basically did nothing, we watch a movie and kinda just unwound, the past weeks of school have been HECTIC to say the least so it was nice to have a quiet night. Then Saturday i worked all morning had to cancel plans with her so that i could fix some mac server issues that we have been having. Still i dont think everything is right but i will get it worked out eventually. I told her not to make any plans for that evening because i had a surprise for her. That afternoon right after i got out of work i went strait home and started making a fancy Italian meal it to my surprise it actually turned out good! I also picked up my apartment and set up a romantic dinner. Here is what it looked like
It was great! She walked in and loved it.
It was great, after dinner that night we sat down and watched a movie. Now for some reason when i told her to be hungry that night she decided that it was necessary to not eat all day. So by the time we finished up eating and watching the movie she was passed out drunk off her wine. I think she only had like 2 glasses maybe 3. Anyhow she was tired, i carried her into my room, luckily she has a collection of clothing at my place already so it was a matter of letting her change and then going to sleep. We got up the next morning and went to church, then we did homework all day long. She seems to think that i may have too much on my plate right now, she wants me to slow down with the working and school. I told her only 2 more weeks, and things should slow down.
On another note should i pay off school before i start saving for a ring or should i get the ring and then start paying school.

I too would pay off school first. I didn't get married until I was 28, probably a little too long to wait, but I couldn't go back. Those statistics are correct on the divorce rate being higher for co-habitated couples. I know it sounds bad, but I'd wait on the marriage, I'd maybe start out with the ol' promise ring, then move up to the engagement later. I'd also wait until your both done with school, people that get married tend to sacrifice one's school for the other then say they'll go back once hte other's done, typically doesn't work out.
Now my wife had already been married (she also sacrificed her schooling for her ex, and he never finished) and had a kid so I don't have any idea what it's like to be married with no kids. I do know I didn't get to have as many 'toys' afterwards even though she had told me the going to the races wasn't going to be a problem. That's fine, I knew my kids were more important than toys, if one had been finished (like your 'vert), that might have been a different story. I've slowly been collecting tools and getting rid of parts and projects that I know I'll never get to. I'm hoping to get a shop in a couple years, I've decided my '65 coupe will be my 6 year old son's first car, maybe a road race car and not a street driven due to the price of fuel. I'm thinking a Trans-Am deal. I have my '63 Fairlane that will be a drag car with a FE so a SBF road car would be fun, wished I'd got that Gurney-Westlake top end in college now, that would be sweet on the coupe.

Well i have 2,135 left on my school loans, i am pretty sure that i can finish off the payments by the beginning of July. We are both graduating on the 12th of next month. (May) I will be starting my masters program shortly after, like 15 days. So i have another 3 years of schooling to go. We don't live together and we decided that we wont till marriage. Working full time i should be able to make enough to start putting some money away towards the ring. luckily i have my car pretty much done so with any luck i wont have to put much money into maintaining it until after we get married. But we will see.
ok, i've slowly read this entire thread over the past couple days and wish i could find a girl like that at my college. you lucky bastard
but seriously man, you guys need to slow it down! you two shouldn't even be thinking about marriage yet. personally, i think you should move in together and actually live together... (then promise ring if you believe in that). even though it sounds like you guys fit like gloves, marriage should be an option after you get out of college. im not trying to burst your bubble but just dont want things to end badly cuz you two sound really good together.
btw, nice vert!

First of all; cool pics! By the way; I'm jealous as hell...... I mean Heather is great and all, but I'm well-known for my prediliction for Hungarian blondes, so it's not that. However, you have an air-hockey table right in your apartment! 
Sue and I used to have to wait in line for one of the six in the Game Room at UofA!
And, the last sentence in Larry's quote is definitely true; at least in my case.
Heather thinks you're over-working yourself and need to slow down? In my experience -which is limited, only one girl ever did that to me, and she still does it today- the female of the species doesn't usually start worrying about the health of the male of the species unless she's already made the investment. The ring is already on her finger in her mind. Deal with it, you are now
you lucky bastidge.
dc1gabriel: Sometimes the kids just know. I can't explain it because it only happened to me once; and my wife says the same thing. It isn't sex and it isn't security; because my wife and I had pretty much none of either at the time. But, four hours after seeing her for the first time minus her ex-fiance, I knew. She says it was about four weeks after I moved off the mountain and back to Tucson that she knew. And after that time we both settled in and stopped worrying about the relationship. Yeah, we didn't stand in front of the priest and our families and friends for another two years; but we were pretty much a "married couple" all the same.
EDIT: Hey BDT: If it's possible (I never tried, so I don't know if you can), you oughta try editing the title on Post #1:
"After meeting the "Girl of my Dreams"; I met the girl of my Life"
Sue and I used to have to wait in line for one of the six in the Game Room at UofA!Yeah, we didn't "officially" live together (although she was on my lease at my last apartment) until we moved into the little house on the side of the hill two months before our wedding. But, her Rottweiler moved into that apartment fairly soon after I did - because it was pretty much the only way the dog would see her. It was kind of sad (or hilarious, your choice); my Queensland Blue had a live-in girlfriend before I did!

nah man, not living together before marriage is a good thing. So many people think its good because you'll know what its like once you get married, but it's not the same, its different, at least if you take marriage seriously, like the rest of your life seriously. If you don't, then getting married isn't a good option for you. ALL the people I know that lived together before marriage are no longer married. Now I know people that didn't live together before they were married that are divorced, and I may know people that lived together before marriage that are still married, but I don't know they lived together prior, but all the people that I positively KNOW were living together before they were married are all divorced.
SD is an exception to the rule.
Andy's doing it all right, but I really suggest to everyone to date about 2-3 years before marriage. I do have a friend who's dad asked her mother to marry him on their first date and the date was the only second time he'd seen her and they were married within the week at the courthouse and were happily married for 40 some-odd years until she died of cancer and he died about a year and a half later, he was heartbroken and really lost the will to live, it was suprising that he lived that long.

Larry, we obviously must have been typing at the same time. 
I have to admit that Mrs StDr and I knew each other for about 8 months before we started dating; she was my drinking buddy's engaged sister and I was trying (with limited success) to get with every girl that caught my eye.
It wasn't until I dropped out of college (and life in general) that she and her fiance split up and she came up to the woods "for a few days to figure things out". Nowadays, I'd probably end up like your friends' Dad.
I have this theory that everybody has one shot in life for "the perfect relationship". Call it "God's plan/fate/kismet/karma/whatever"; but I managed to marry the girl that is my "one shot" on the first try.
Anyhow, I've got to get off this computer and into the truck before I end up late for work. Later, gang!
