Popping the question?

BACKGROUND INFO: Ive been dating Greg for almost 5 years. At the beginning of our relationship, he made it clear that he knew I was the one for him, that he had no doubts...so I thought that meant he'd want to get married after a year or so.
Not true. I was confused about it all for awhile, but worked it out, and came to peace with our relationship. I even now LIKE that we have our own residences, and do our own things. We each go to work, then we do supper together and watch tv for a couple hours, then I come home to my house to go to bed. It's nice!
But lately, he's been back to saying, "When we get married.....", and "After we're married...." so I know it's been on his mind. Especially given his health status the past year or so. (he has heart issues on top of a whole list of other ailments) But I thougth we were both in the same place as far as "not rocking the boat" and "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

So tonight he says...."So, when do you want to get married?"

I replied..."I dunno. Are you gonna get down on one knee and propose?"

He comes back with, "Well..I need a ring first."

I say, "yep."

We laugh over the little repartee going on.

He then says, "so seriously, what kind of time line are you thinking about?"

I say, "well...the lease on my house is up June 1st"
to which he quickly comes back with "hell baby, I'm not worried about your lease. We can pay the lease out, or get someone to live in it if we want."

So I say, "Well...when are ya gonna clean your bathrooms? Cuz I ain't movin in til the bathrooms are all cleaned!"

He again kinda laughs, and says, "I know...and we need to replace the carpet."

This then led into a conversation about buying a new house, or building one out on his 20 acres, or out in the hay meadow. He's apparantly been doing a lot of thinking about all this lately. He even mentioned a different subdivision here in town....but then said that if he moves, he wants to move back "out in the country".
Me,not being a country girl, retorted with "But that would make it so much farther to drive to Walmart everyday!!!" (LOL)
The reaction to that one was priceless.....throwing his hands up in the air in (mock) dismay.."after that last statement, the whole thing's off!" (he hates Walmart, remember?)

We had a good laugh over it all...and did a little discussing about living arrangements. He hadn't thought about the fact that Alex and Molly would have to share a bathroom, or she'd have to use the one in the gameroom, or the fact that unless we close off the formal dining room and convert it into a bedroom (or do that to the gameroom), there would be no place for my boys to sleep when they are here on weekends.

So...
more thinking to do about living arrangements.

No wedding bells anytime soon I reckon.

and now that it's been thrown out there in the open....I'm not sure HOW I feel about it all.
