| | ....The day I got engaged!  F.B. & I decided to get engaged yesterday. After talking & discussing things. Of course there is no set date of when we will be marrying. Only that we decided to get engaged & start planning for our future. It could even be 2-3 years more before we get married. F.B. will be finishing college in May. He's starting his OJT this semester. He is in college getting his bachelor degree in computer science. If all goes well- the company he does his job training with may hire him after graduation. Then he can also begin saving for our future. We need to get our finances in order before we plan to marry. I need to look into all the legal procedures for the Philippines. If we get married, it will be at Justice of the Peace in the Philippines. Not really a wedding. We don't really want that. Just some family & friends & maybe a dinner after wards. I would be moving to the Philippines. That would be a big adjustment for my life. Yes it is a big step & a big change. But it's something I want to do. I've been back here in the US a little over a week & I'm going crazy. I miss the Philippines... I want to go back. I would like to visit again in the late summer this year if it's possible & works out. I need to find out all the legal procedures for me to stay over there & work legally- without giving up my us citizenship. We need to save money- so that when I moved over there we would be okay financially while I secured a job. I would like to work in a call center and be a customer service rep. I understand the US is better off economically & I might only be making half of what my US paychecks were over there, but I'm not looking to get rich or have a career. That's not what I want. What I want is to be with my boy, and for us to have a little house somewhere and start our own life.  Which reminds me- I applied for a job with General Electric (GE) to be a customer service rep in Fort Washington, PA which is out somewhere past Willow Grove? Anyhow I am getting a phone interview this Monday around 5pm. I already filled out an online application & someone will be calling to interview me Monday evening. So please pray for this. Work has really changed. And they were saying we are overstaffed & that there's really only supposed to be about 46-49 employees between day & night shift- and that in the future they may not be calling seasonal back anymore... so I need to find a new job to save for my future. I ordered a ring guard for the ring F.B. gave me for Christmas- so that I can wear it on the proper finger. Though F would like to be able to get me a nicer ring in the near future & propose properly. But yes... it's official we are engaged!!!  *~Sarah~*  1-13-2007: Turns out I have to smack F.B. because he spent more money on the ring he got me for Christmas than I thought he did... tsk, tsk, tsk. We were talking and I told him if he really wanted to get me another engagement ring some day that I only wanted him to spend $80.00 or under on it for me. And then yesterday I found out that he spent more than that on the ring he got me for Christmas... ack! We talked about it and decided the ring he got me for Christmas would just be my engagement ring. I don't want another ring. I told him I would get it re-sized so it would fit better. So I took my ring to a jeweler on Street Rd. this afternoon to be resized. They are going to resize it to a 6 1/2. So I'll be able to wear it on the proper finger. I found out the band is white gold, haha. I thought it was sterling silver. It's going to cost $50.00 to resize the ring, but that doesn't matter because it's my engagement ring!!! I miss my ring right now though... the store said they will call in a few days when it's ready to be picked up.  *~Sarah~* My pretty ring from Christmas: 1-17-07: Called the Jeweler, my ring had to be sent out somewhere else to be repaired, cuz it's a little complicated- so I should have it by next week... I miss my ring! I just hope it costs about the same when they call me to come pick it up. 1-27-07: Got my ring back today! Yay! And now my engagement ring fit's on the proper finger. hehe. The little old lady with her husband at the Jewelrer place said, "Congratulations." haha. I'm happy to have it back, I was getting worried, because they said it was taking a little longer and they had had it for 2 weeks now. Now it's back on my finger! It doesn't even look like they did anything to it, I don't get how they resize stuff, haha. Only now, it won't fit over the knuckle on my middle finger, so it was definitely resized. It's purty. hehe. |
