Traveling for work is different now that there's someone nice that I leave at home.
So, Foxy Grandpa has been promoted to Foxy Fiancé. It wasn't a huge surprise because I literally gave him pictures of rings that I liked a few months ago, but I honestly thought he was going to sit on it for a while.
The thought did cross my mind that he might propose that night, because with both of our families gathered it would be a good time to do it. But I kept watching him the day of, looking for signs of excess excitement or nervousness, or anything out of the ordinary, but he was cool as a cucumber so I figured it wasn't the night... until he was down on one knee!
I wouldn't say I'm in a hurry to get married, but I'm not trying to dawdle, either. I'm ready. I'm also not trying to spend a bunch of money but I do want to do all the wedding stuff that I missed out on the last time. We'll see how this works out.
Speaking of promotions, I got a promotion at work that came with a hefty 8% raise so heck yeah! The current plan is to put the excess into my retirement plan because now that I'm about to marry someone 15 years older than me, early retirement is the goal. I'll be damned if he retires and I keep going to work for 15 more years.
