I hate surprises......

I don't know if everyone else (family) knows something I don't know?!?

Let me explain.. YES, Chris and I have been dating for 4 years!  So naturally I am always getting asked (mostly) by his friends when I am finally getting a ring. Well buddies.. your guess is as good as mine. I always tell them to ask Chris, and I tend not to eavesdrop because I don't want to get discouraged with his answer. His normal response is.... " She needs to get her act right first!"

Anyhoo..... lets bring it back to this past weekend.. Chris has started softball again, and the two things I get out of  his teammates are.... Are you engaged yet? or they lift up my left hand to see if there is any bling. Sorry again boys.. still nothing! 

My sister joined me this weekend, and one of Chris' good friend asked the infamous question.. to which my sister chimes in with....... "it will be soon!"..... umm.... WHAT??? As I choke on my sweet tea... I usually just laugh it off, but then I went to my Mom's house for my Birthday dinner and presents.. and her card said some sentimental stuff.... blah blah blah...... Love, Mom....... "This is going to be a GREAT year!!" ...  

So in my head, I know they know something. But lemme tell you if there is no ring, say by May.... I am not going to count on anything for the rest of the year.

And let me also add that I will be really really (insert sad face here).
