Almost Ring Shoping

I had to have some hardcore therapy from my father today after my date with Kade.  After all I have only been dating him 2 weeks.  He took me to the mall and as soon as I realized he wanted me to ring shop, I stopped DEAD in my tracks.  He was literally trying to drag me.  I sat down on a couch and wouldn't budge.  We finally left because I had promised Wray I would watch my nieces and nephew.

While babysitting, we were watching Mulan 2 and the same thing was happening to her.  Her boy was trying to propose, but she was thinking it was too soon.

I guess when you know, you know.  I have no question whether I should marry Kade, I just don't like the way i t looks.  After all, I am still kind of writing Troy.  I don't know how to break it to him.  My family has only met him once...so I know how they would feel about me marrying so quickly.

When I got home, I talked to my dad about it.  Can I just say he is amazing.  Not only have I always been a daddy's girl, but he has always had a soft-spot for his girls.  He always treats us like princess.  I told him Kade was getting pretty serious and that he wanted me to pick out rings!  My dad comforted me and asked how long I had known Kade?  I told him years, but I have only dated him for a little bit.  My dad said, see you have known him a long time, so don't be so gushy.  I think my dad could see how happy Kade was making me.  My dad has seen some of the worst depression spells from me.  He let me know that he was okay with me marrying him, and that he thought if we wanted to get married there is no reason to wait very long.

Did I mention my dad has been a bishop twice?  He has also been in the stake presidency, so I don't take his opinion lightly.  He said, "if you know you want to marry Kade, do it as soon as possible.  Waiting only gets people into trouble."  He also informed me that waiting is really hard and it only gets harder.

So with my dads blessing, I think sometime we will actually go ring shopping...but I am going to make him wait at least 2 more weeks.  That way I can say we dated a month, LOL.
