.....and he proposed me!!!! No WIWs, PJs are my new BFF

So I am back again to my daily old routine and daily old office. The only thing new to me everyday is Angie's and all YLFers fab posts. Your talks, WIWs and comments really make my day otherwise the house, the city feels like haunted to me without my BF. And after he went away I have not got any chance in these 3-4 days to wear something fab and show you all gals. I am just being a couch potato with a bag full of chips and watching too much TV. I am ruining myself. My tummy is upset with chips and no exercise or water and I feel my PJs are the most fashionable thing in town today. I can't get out of them. Yes my BF would kill me seeing me in them but ....
The only good thing that happend because of his departure.......he proposed to me and yes most probably if everything goes ok, we will be marrying same time next year. Made me the happiest person before he left. So after he comes back we will tell our respective parents and then have a grand wedding the traditional style with gold, sarees, guests, wine and food. Can't wait for 2013.

Congratulations! This is great news. Are you going to wait a whole year until he comes back to tell your parents? That seems like a long time to keep this good news back.

Congratualtions!!!!! That is so exciting for you. I know you miss the BF more than anything right now but do try to take care of yourself and also have this time to visit friends and enjoy yourself.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I also spent A LONG time long-distance from my husband before we married. I know it is very hard, but you will make it. That is sweet that you can fill some of your time by wedding planning :o)

Deborah

Congratulations! What wonderful news. I am thrilled for you and trust thennext 12 months are speedy:)

Sylvie

Congratulations to you and your FIANCE! I did the long distance thing with my husband both before and *after* we were married and I can assure you that while it is incredibly challenging being apart, having a "finish line" makes it easier, and of course it is all worth it once you are together.

Agree with Cocolion that a whole year seems a really long time to not share the good news with your parents. Completely understand why you might not want to let it slip to the extended family until you know, a month before the wedding or so.

Kirti

Congrats! I am sure time will fly.

Wow! Such wonderful news! Congratulations. Being apart is hard, I know --- been there, done that, still doing it from time to time --- but in this instance, the anticipation and thrill of planning should really help the time fly, like Kirti says.

But won't it be that much harder to plan if you have to keep it secret? Though having a delicious secret like this one can also be fun and put that spring in your step!

Congratulations indeed! I know it will be hard being apart and waiting but there is always the phone, Skype and email to stay in contact and re-affirm your love and commitment to spending your lives together!
ETA....I had to correct my spelling of the word commitment!

Congratulations! I hope this will help you manage the distance better, knowing what you have to look forward to together. Enjoy your couch time - at some point soon I expect you'll be done with it and ready to take on the world!

Yay!! Congratulations!! I LOVE weddings!! I can't wait to start hearing all about yours.

I also had a long distance relationship for a year. It's not ideal. But you will get through it! We will help you get through it if that makes you feel any better.

Congratulations!!!

If you spend as much time here at YLF as I do, that year will go by in a flash!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Wow, your fiance knows how to make a dramatic exit! I am so happy for you, yet I feel for you at the same time. All I can say is that at least we live in a time of the internet, skype, cell phones, and all that. You are going to be a stunning bride!

Congratulations. I know it must be tough with your other half gone but time to get off the couch and start planning for 12 months time. Hope you are able to share your news with your family sooner than 12 months. Any chance of you being able to vsit BF?

@all... thanks so much for all your kind words. Am now strong enought to get my ass off that couch. Your healing words have acted like magic and as goldenpig rightly has said,, spending my time here in YLF will surely make time fly.
And thank god we live in the internet age.......I met u people by accident and now you are a part of my family now.
@kiwichik.. i have my office and can't get that much of enough time (at least a month) to visit him. I would have either to leave the job to visit him.
And yes I am planning to break the news to my family when the appropriate time comes. Love you all and will keep you updated about this.
