Hi! I've seen several familiar faces here. I've lurked for a while, and JoyMatt's post prompted me to finally say something.
FI and I have been engaged for about a year now, and we're getting married June 4, 2011. We're having a long engagement because we wanted to wait until he finishes med school. He wants to go into pediatrics. I teach chemistry and algebra at a community college.
I've always been kind of hesitant about talking about my religion (one of the reasons I lurked so long before posting). I grew up in what I'd call a generic Christian home. I went to Sunday school and vacation Bible school when I was little, but my family never attended services. When I slept over at a friend's house I'd go to church with the family. I kind of interpretted things as "be nice to people and the 10 commandments seem like good rules to live by".
In college I started going to a few different churchs w/friends who had cars. Six years ago, when I was a soph I was having a complete breakdown, and one of my Christian friends sat with my on my floor telling me that I couldn't do this alone. That I had to ask for help. So I prayed (put loud!) for Jesus to help me, that I accepted Him as my Savior.
FI is Episcopalian, and when I went to church with his family I realized I liked services there better than other churches I'd tried. This is still a work in progress, but I've decided that I want to get Baptized. When I told FI, he said that he knew I would before we got married.
I want to do it in Richmond, in the same church we're getting married, so I'm not sure when it will happen yet. That's pretty much where I am right now.
