sweet update with SYB
11
Thu, 07-24-2008 - 4:02pm
Hi everyone. So for the past day SYB has been talking about rings, babies, and engagement. Pretty exciting stuff huh? I didnt really see it coming although I dont know why. I havent brought these subjects up because I am happy and things are moving forward and I guess I have been concentrating on the house and finances....So I got asked about whether I like white gold this morning first thing as I woke up and he wanted to know if I thought I might want to be engaged by next year. No good morning btw just these questions instead in his sweet morning mumblings voice. Then as we are getting ready to go get breakfast together he asks me when I want to start trying to have a family together and how I want that to coordinate with the calendar as far as engagement goes. So I think we decided we might want to start trying this time next year. I am kind of happily sitting here with my mouth open as he just left for work. IN the shower before he left he asked me what I thought of baby names and said he had thought of a few. If it is a boy he wants to name him Ivan after his Dad. I love it. I almost cried in the shower - he is so sentimental and sweet. And it felt very genuine and sincere like he has been thinking for a while and wanted to finally talk about all of it. So the new house should bring all sorts of joy. I am so happy over here...
Only one thing - I signed the contract for the house but have heard NOTHING since then. So the owner has gone MIA again. Hoping to hear something later today and wondering if he is back in the hospital. So the house is a bit of a concern until we get that contract back but I am too smiley about the other stuff to let it get to me at the moment!
Just wanted to share!

Thanks Pac. I just read your update a while ago and am happy for you too. Things are busy around here and it is tough to keep up with the board but I try! I think it is so great that the two of you have reached common ground on things. I think that is so necessary after the 1-2 year mark. I know it happened for SYB and I too. It is like rediscovering our true selves with one another and trusting at a whole new level.
I am still over here imagining little Ivan....hopefully not the terrible!LOL. I am sure though that if he is anything like his father he would be hell on wheels. SYB is mischief in motion let me tell you!

Yay more engagements, more babies..


I like how sentimental he is.. From my experience I would say spread out every good event so you can enjoy them more..Me and Biker didnt have the opportunity to do that..but we are happy the way it worked out now. Seems like sometimes there is only one perfect way for things to fall in place and they do fall in place even if we dont plan for them exactly.

You guys are so great as always....I am holding off telling family since I dont want them to go APE and so telling you guys makes me feel calmer and like I can let it out a bit!
I am so thrilled that Ivan is John in Russian - did I understand that correctly? I was sitting over here after he left for work thinking "oh god I love the name Ivan but what if that insults my Dad that we named our son after SYB's father? " Guess what my dad's name is though? JOHN. HAH!
I have no idea what kind of engagement ring I would like but we talked today about including DS's birthstone in it or maybe that of his moms or mine. We were chatting and we realized that our other gender parents have our astrological signs -meaning his mom was a capricorn and so am I and my Dad is a Cancer and so is SYB. We had never thought about that before. Weird huh?
Anyhow, I would like to honor those who are gone and never got to meet SYB or me in this process of finding the right one. I so wish they were here because I know they would be thrilled for us. SYB has told me recently how many evenings he spent with his father in the kitchen growing up listening to the Tchaikovsky Concerto - he knows the whole thing by heart and his father had a thing for violin I guess. I can only imagine that while SYB was little listening to it I was seven and a half years older actually debuting it over here with the NSO. How weird is that? We are feeling very blessed and romantic these days!
