If you know me, you know I can be impatient, I want what I want and I want it now. Whether it is the weekend, a new tool, or Chipotle (which is always), but right now the only thing I want feels miles away.

It has been only 1 of 6 weeks that I was told I would need to wait for Jayme’s ring to be ready. I felt that amount of time would be fine, we have the rest of our lives to be together, so a few weeks waiting for the perfect ring to be ready would not be a problem. That was so wrong. Being within a seeable distance of that day makes it feel forever away. At this point I would take a twist tie and use it for a ring if it meant we could be engaged. This keeps me up at night, it makes me check my email every two minutes, it makes me nervous, it makes me excited, and most of all it makes me grateful that I will be able to give my life and my promise of never-ending love to the most deserving person.

So while I might throw internal tantrums about my waiting plight, this impatience perfectly captures why this is the best decision of my life.
