Happiness and Sadness

School has kept me from really blogging lately... but here's how things are going.

Mr. III and I are doing marvelous. At the begining of this weekend, we got into a bit of a spat, but we're doing amazing. Actually, it was a fate-astic weekend. Friday morning he and I went to pick up my car from the shop (FINALLY FIXED) and then drop his car off at a different shop. Well, he got the directions wrong, and I had to drive back home to get the right directions. Tired and pissed off, I told him to "sit" like a dog when I left the car to get the directions. The car ride there was tense, and when we picked up my car, he drove ahead of me and made following him very stressful. My inspection was a year out of date due to a fluke with the car company and lots of crazy repairs I had to do in order to get it inspected. So, when we got there, I said I'm sorry, he said he was sorry, and we continued on to get my car inspected.

While waiting for the car, we went to a jewelry store and looked around. One of our things is we look at wedding bands, and he actually designed one, and put a downpayment on it!

Very exciting, to say the least. We as well saw one of his awesome teachers from high school, who he talked to about the whole thing, and she was really excited for us. Which made me really rather happy. After finally getting the car back, we continued about our weekend with love in the air.

And here's something pretty marvelous. He asked both my parents if he could marry me, and each said yes!! In a normal family, usually you shouldn't have to ask both, but since my parents are divorced, it ends up he has to ask both, because they don't communicate unless they absolutely have to.

On sunday night, he was talking to his Aunt and found out it was his grandmother's birthday on monday. Monday, he ended up playing her song on my CD player in the car, and said "Happy Birthday", and it just about broke my heart in two. I feel like I cried more than he did, but I'm sure he was suffering in his usual manly way. We talked about what we would do to honor her at the wedding, and have decided to put an invitation on her grave site.

I'm not sure if I've told you guys about his grandmother, but I'll leave that for another post.
