Pressors

To the medically-inclined, pressors are drugs that help raise in the blood pressure in patients (for instance in patients undergoing surgery). Pressors aren't used all that commonly because there are other things that can raise the blood pressure as well. For instance: giving a bolus of fluids, colloids (fancy word for large globs of fluids), turning down the gas anthesia, or having your family demand a change in your relationship status.
Today marks the first day where a family member asked, "So when are you two getting married? What's taking so long." This coming from Jane, my Grandpa's wife, who has recently married into our happy little family. I found it somewhat comical, seeing that they wanted to get married 3-4 weeks after dating each other. I guess when you get older, you become more impatient. Either that or you feel your life may end soon and consequently rush important life decisions. Or... just maybe... you are truly happy.
In any regard, I figured I would answer the common question that not only comes from friends (and now family). Kellie and I are happy. We are taking our relationship in stride, one step at a time. For those who don't know, we have moved into a house together and are trying to adapt to the situation. We have talked about the long term plan. Marriage, kids, even moving to a bigger house.
Marriage is a big step. And we will take that step when we are both ready. I know that step is along our relationship path.
I know this because when we were interrogated at my grandpa's house, we both laughed when the question "popped" up. Why it was funny I don't know (maybe because of her approach or that we were uncomfortable with the situation). It wasn't the laughing that convinced me, but it was the look Kellie gave me as Jane continued to press on with her line of questioning. That look of love, those are looks you don't forget.
So anyways, hopefully that answers some questions. In the meantime, keep your pressures normal, and pressors absent.

John, you and Kellie have something that a lot of married couples don’t have, and that’s a real friendship and mutual respect for each other. All that matters to us is that you two are happy, and that’s something not guaranteed by a legal document. What you two have right now is the stuff that lifelong commitments are made of, marriage certificate or not.
But, I’m still going to call you my son-in-law in the meantime.
