I talked to my friend and he knows the story of how my sister and her husband met, dated, and married. He told me that with Betty, we've already bypassed the meeting/falling in love part and now she's a "limited time offer" because he thinks we're already at that stage where I should realize that if I don't do something serious soon, i'll lose her with the distance/time gap. I don't like the feeling that I have to rush faster into this. I'm totally down with getting something to symbolize how I feel, and in fact want to without his motivation. (I've even thought of giving her my graduate ring to wear but if my parents found out, they'd shoot me. I'd get the "You didn't work almost 5 years to give it away to some girl!" speach.
Anyway. I know she's willing to wait and like my sister and Mike did, they waited. I'm sure when she flew to greece to visit him, she most likely slept with him and they probably missed it when they were apart, i'm sure. But they survived and I know we can too.

Anyway, I have the weekend planned out. Tonight is just a relax day. (some lovin/massage/cook dinner etc.) Friday, i'm taking her to a zoo and then at night to Medieval times. Saturday, probably visiting my folks and maybe a friend and then off to Chicago to take her on top of the sears tower (but she still won't be higher than how she makes me feel) ;-) and after that, some romantic restaurant downtown that features fondue and private tables and wine. Then back home for one last night together before taking her home Sunday. We'll take pics, i'm sure. :-) Wish us luck and that we don't get harassed by homeless/crack whores. (always happens to me when I go ANYWHERE near Chicago!)
