When are you getting married?

If I had a penny for everytime I have heard this question in the past 5 months I would be a millionare. I have been dating a boy for 5 months. I know, I can't believe it either. Usually at about 4 months I start to get a little antsy and wonder why it isn't working and then I freak out and then he freaks out and then we break up. I for some reason have had this set rule in my mind that at 4 months we should know and if we don't, that's it. About two months ago I made an amazing discovery, it's ok to not know at 4 months! I was so shocked at it that I told everyone about it, like it was a big secret that our Mom's had been hiding from us for years. Now I know that there does come a point where you have to make the decision, because in my opinion, love is a decision. I know that love is a decision because if it wasn't, there wouldn't be so many 28+ year old boys walking around passing by the throngs of beautiful, talented, educated women every week in church. (Boys, crazy, all of them I tell you)
Back to the 5 months, usually it hasn't gotten to me, but for some reason this past week it has bothered me. What if it isn't working? What if I am wasting my time? Why don't I already know? By the end of the week I have gratefully come to this conclusion. Everyone has their own time table, especially myself. I have always had my totally own time table. Nothing I have ever gotten has been the normal conventional way. Heck, I went through 5 try outs for different dance teams in high school before I made one. I talked with B about it last night and I realized that all that matters is that we are progressing. We both know what we want the end result to be and we feel like we are going that way. It may take us more time than people are used to, but we will get to that decision. Until then, I'll be makin my million;)
