So if anyone read my earlier blog from today, they saw that SO and I messaged BM yesterday wanting to know what school SD was going to be attending for kindergarten. We wanted this info for many reasons:

1. To be able to find out when the 2021 - 2022 school year is going to start so we can pick our 6 weeks of summer prior to April 1, following the court order

2. Have the information of the school so when it gets closer we can reach out to SD's teacher and make an introduction so not left out of any important information

So yesterday fiancé messaged BM to ask her what school SD will be enrolled at for kindergarten this September so we can look at the school’s academic 2021-2022 calendar to figure out what 6 weeks of summer we will want SD. According to their CO, we have to let BM know prior to April 1st every year what 6 weeks we will be taking SD or BM gets to decide. Since BM has been claiming she is moving for a year now, but has not yet, this was also a way to find out if SD will be going to school here or what the deal was.

So fiance and I had a pleasant conversation over dinner on Friday discussing how we felt about when to get married and when to have a wedding with guests, etc. So we decided we will be getting married end of January, with a minister at an air bnb, and then in the beginning of 2022 we will have a wedding with guests to celebrate on the west coast where we will be living after May 2021.

Yesterday morning, bf proposed to me! He took me hiking at my favorite spot and on the rocks by the water he asked me to marry him! I am super thrilled and happy about it! Afterwards bf also told me how he had planned to propose in August, but because my parents gave him a family ring and some stipulations on how the ring was to be handled, it prolonged his plan by months. Apparently, my parents were fine with him taking the diamonds out and putting them in a new band, but they did not want the ring shipped out to be customized.
