Backstory. Met when I was a senior in high school and she was a sophomore. Dated the whole year and summer until at the end of summer when I left the country and went to college (in our town) where we broke up within a month. We got back together the next summer when she was going into her senior year. Things were, of course, rocky at first (trust issues from the breakup), but we have been together for 4 straight years, and have lived together for 3.
We are rock solid now, current and future plans align nearly 100% as far as importance on career, family, friends, as well as views on politics, religion, handling finances, future living situations, etc.. We have talked about marriage extensively and I have even bought a ring (she knows that I was searching for rings, does not know that I have purchased one).
Situation. I am planning to propose in about 2 weeks, the day before we go on a 2 week vacation (to her favorite place in the world) with her family. They are all very supportive of us getting married, and she would love to show off her ring to them during the trip, hence the plan to do it then.
However. She, just last week, got accepted to an internship that will take her across the country for the entire summer (leaves the day after we land back in town), and when she gets back I will be starting law school (in our town). I am wondering if this is still the right time to propose.
It would be a long engagement either way due to the financial constraints of law school, but I just don't know if its right to profess this great love to her and the world right before she leaves for 2 1/2 months and gets back just in time for me to get locked in a library for a semester.
It might just be nerves, but I am starting to wonder if I should wait until she at least gets back from her internship to pop the question.
TLDR: Marrying high school sweetheart, wondering if I should propose before she moves across the country for the summer (so a piece of me will be with her) or wait until she gets back.
