Some wonderful news I received

Friday night my sister sent me a photo and showed me the belated birthday presents she got from her boyfriend. He had to work so he wasn’t home for her birthday. It was a crummy day for her on her actual birthday as her youngest child was sick with a fever so we couldn’t get together for cake and ice cream like my mother had planned. So when her boyfriend was home Friday he gave her an absolutely gorgeous engagement ring and pretty flowers. That was the first time anyone has ever given her flowers so she was so happy. He put the ring on top of the flowers is what she told me. He wants to wait about 3 years to have a wedding. I’m not sure why that is but I look forward to giving her a bridal shower when it’s time. Photo is totally unrelated to the post. Just something I thought looked neat and I wanted to share a photo to spruce up the post.

I love those guitars too! Congrats to your sister on her engagement. I hope your niece/nephew is feeling better now. Maybe her fiance wants to wait that long to ensure that they know and are as comfortable with each other as all husbands and wives should be.

@Chellezhere I don’t get to come here much. My niece is all better and I was just at her 6th birthday party yesterday. They’ve been dating about 9 years not sure why he would want to wait 3 more .

@shaggin Some people can be strange like that sometimes I guess.

@Tina30219 I popped in here yesterday to see if you made a monthly stat post but you hadn’t yet. I haven’t had time to. I’ll go see if you’ve got one up now.

Sometimes the best relationships are those where they aren't actually married.

@shaggin I believe The Horse would love all the guitars in the picture. Congrats to your daughter on her engagement. That is cool putting the ring on the flowers. Did she wonder why he wants to wait 3 years before they get married? I believe the engagement should make up for him not being there with her and her child being sick. I bet you want the child to get well soon so you can see the ring in person.

@Hannihar I’m not really sure honestly. For her sons graduation last year they only had a very small party that my sisters boyfriends mother hosted.

@shaggin Weddings cost a lot of money even if they are small. I hope they can do both.

@shaggin Sorry for my mistake. Congrats to your sister. It sounds like it will take a long time before they can get married because of the money they will be putting out for the graduation party.

I am glad he made her day better, belatedly. Picture is cool. For a bit I thought he might have given her a guitar.

@GardenGerty nope she definitely wouldn’t have wanted that as a gift but I can see with the photo why you would think that.

@franxav some days in the store it’s very noisy with people testing out guitars and other instruments. This day it was pretty quiet though thankfully besides my son testing out the base he bought.

It is really nice to hear good news. A long engagement yes, but they will have more time to get to know each other's habits. What a lot of guitars and so colorful too.
