I'm sure of it. Oh, the anticipation!
I'm riding my bike in the summer rain, talking to my man on my cell phone. The ever-popular-during-long-distance-relationships earpiece is my favorite thing. EVER.
"Whatcha doin'?" A question I ask expecting detail. I want it to be like I was right there with him.
"Helping mom look at apartments and houses to rent..."
"Cool. That sounds like fun. Ya findin' anything?"
"Yeah...I'm going to sign a year lease to live with her."
"Oh." He's doing WHAT!?
Now he's going on about prices and other such details. But, I can't remember a thing he says. I'm stuck on "Year Lease."
"What about candidate school?" I ask. "You're going to be traveling a lot, too. Right?"
"Yeah."
I'm so confused.
"Cool." And I feel like a dork, because all I can say is "cool."
Silence.
"Well, I'd better go. I need to pay attention to where I'm giong."
STUPID excuse, since I always talked to him while riding my bike. No-handed even.
He doesn't catch on.
"Ok, babe. Love ya."
"Uh,huh....loveyoutoo."
And I'm officially sad, mad...feeling sick.
We hang up.
I call Gina.
I cry to her. "He's going to live with his mom for a year! That means...that means...he's not even thinking about getting married! A whole year with his mom!"
*bawl,bawl,bawl*
Drama. Queen.
This is the day...rainy day on my bike. Note the shiny object on the right (your left)side of my head. That'd be the hands-free phone thingy.
And two more pictures from back in the day...seeing a common "cord" between the two? Yes, I would be talking to Jim on that same hands-free thingy in both pictures. Yay for Free Verizon to Verizon during times of separation! Oh, and sorry 'bout the blur in that one. I'm cleaning my bathroom before I move. It's probably a good thing it's blurry.

OH!!! I got all frustrated with you! I'm hoping there's some awesome twist coming up, because if not, you poor thing!!!
I'm with Rachel - there better be a plot twist ... because if not then I am sad, mad, and feeling a little sick with you!! A year??? Torture!!!
You're just going to leave us hanging like that? LOL I guess we should all know it's a happy ending. =)
As far as the tutorials you asked about, I did the most recent ones on I Heart Faces about texture and Pioneer Woman about rounded edges. Hope that helps! Let me know if you need the links.
I LOVE this idea...I am a sucker for proposal stories and I have never heard yours. So excited to hear the ending :-D. And as usual, I enjoy reading your story-telling. :-D.
I'll have to share mine on my blog one of these days--I love telling how God orchestrated my meeting/falling in love/marrying Paul :-D.
I can't believe you just did a to be continued on your blog. Not fair. Spill it...I need to know.
Aaaa!! I can't wait to hear what happens!!! Joel & I were apart for the last year (except for two months in the summer when we worked at camp together) before we got married, so I understand the long-distance thing. We were so old-fashioned we had calling cards, though! :)
Long-distance.... stinks. Yes it does. I know alllllllllll about it, and I am experiencing that whole, "How is what we're doing apart going to affectin the future?" mindset. Scott isn't doing things like this though.... he has his own house. ;)
*sigh* Long distance. Been there, done that.
I can't wait to read the rest of your story!
EEKKK!! You have to finish the story!!!! Hmm Now I have to decide whether to bother your editing upstairs or wait till you repost!
