Not Engaged Yet

I hope this doesn't seem too repetative!

I wanted to take a page out of jstumps page and introduce myself as well! I'm also and engaged and was wanting a way to introduce myself on this board because it does seem to be more lively over here. From my lurking I've felt like I've gotten a feel on some of ya but I just wanted to get myself out there. I figured this would be the best way!. Again thanks for the inspiration jstumps!

    We actually went to a wedding together the day before the proposal and apparently let everyone except me know that he was proposing the next day. We went to a local dog friend park in town to take Maddie on a walk and he stopped me infront of a beautiful water fountain and got down on one knee and proposed! He actually got a friends sister to take pictures. It was lovely.

    Doctor Who is my favorite that we watch together but mainly it's Big Bang, How I Met Your Mother, Supernatural, Bones and a few more.

    We tend to go to the movies every other week on our days off so this past week we went and saw Thor 2 and Catching Fire the same day. ( wednesday is free popcorn day at our theater!)


    EDIT: words are hard

     

  •  Oh I forgot to add my picture.

     

  • Cute proposal and the ring is beautiful!! I'm a lurker, and a past reg. work and no internet tends to keep me off the boards at times. You'll see me randomly pop in every now and then.

    Welcome!!! How do you feel about wine? Favorite football team??
  • @jaydee4219 - Your ring is so pretty! I wish my movie theater did free popcorn day. I'd be there every week. 



  • @IrishDreamer Thank you! I'm not much of a wine drinker, the only kind I've tried that I actually like is Moscato. Red wine is just wayy to dry for me. and DA BEARS. FI and I are HUGE football fans. Come sunday you won't find us anywhere other then infront of a tv watching the game.

     

    @Swazzle Thank you as well! You have to be a member to the theater to get the free medium popcorn but being a member also gives you points everytime you go there and you can occasionally get anywhere from a free small popcorn to a free movie ticket using your card.  The best part is, it's absolutely free to be a member so I don't understand why everyone doesn't do it.

     

  • Hey @jaydee4219!

  • @jaydee4219 - That's awesome! I love going to the movies. I have an AMC Stubs card which costs $12 a year for the membership but then the fees on Fandango are waived, you can "upgrade" your popcorn and soda sizes for free (get a large but pay for a medium), and for every $100 you spend, they give you back $10 to spend on tickets or snacks. As long as you go to the movies a few times a year, the $12 is way worth it. 



  • Welcome! Your puppy is so cute!! Are you doing anything interesting for the holidays?
  • Welcome!

    Your dog is adorable, and I hate a lot of sounds too.

    What's your favorite kind of Christmas cookie?

  • @buddysmom80 for vacation I love to go to any type of rollercoaster park but unfortunately FI is not in the same boat as I.  We both though would absolutely love to just spend a week in europe traveling everywhere and hopefully if we keep the costs of the wedding down we will be able to go!!  I'm born and raised in very central Illinois from a small town of 200 people. Maddie is a Maltipoo, she's 1/4 maltese and 3/4 poodle.

     

    @swazzle thats an awesome deal! that $12 would go a long with our movie going habit.

     

    @southernpeach89 Thank you! She's our little baby.  We're not doing anything too special.  We have a ugly christmas party with my family and christmas the next day and just a normal christmas with his family.

     

    @lalalaurita thank you and I'm glad I'm not the only one! When it comes to christmas cookie I don't really have a favorite.  I guess it would be peanut butter with a hersheys kiss in the middle. My aunt always makes them for family get togethers.

     

  • Welcome!

    What's your favorite winter activity?
  • Welcome to NEY! Your ring is absolutely beautiful!

    What type of venue is your wedding being held in?

    Have you chosen a dress yet? If not, do you have any favorite styles? PICS!



  • Welcome!  Love your ring and your puppy.  Everyone has asked all the good questions so I'll steal one from @Swazzle's playbook.  Do you like guacamole? Think carefully about this one!

  • @KeptInStitches I don't like the cold at all so Id rather stay inside and read a book.

    @Imhollister thank you very much! Our wedding is on the Illinois River at a marina.The ceremony is out on the deck and the reception inside. Dress shopping is going to be done either this month or next so no not yet. I have fallen in love with a certain Alfred Angelo dress from his Disney line.

    @doubless07 Thank you ! I do not like guacamole.. I can't get past the texture but I apparently make a killer guacamole.. I used to work at Chipotle so that's probably why.

     

  • Welcome! You said wedding is on the IL river and you work for State Farm, does this mean you live in BloNo? If yes, what is your favorite item on Avanti's menu?

  • Hahaha @Suzie211 yes it does.  Does their bread count? No probably not, I'll have to go with MoStaccioli but they only offer it for catering which is unfortunate. Whats your favorite?

     

  • The bread totally counts. I can't have gluten anymore, but I used to be obsessed with their gondola's. My hometown has a copy cat restaurant with all the same menu items and I grew up eating lots of them.

    thanks for all the love!

    @BriSox81 my favorite part so far has been the cake tasting. I Love cake.  My least favorite has definitely been the wait.  Our package at our venue includes all the table linens, centerpieces, catering, etc and we have our bakery, photography, dj, flowers all booked so really its all about the WP attire and waiting for sept.

    I haven't found someone that i just don't like on here though there is someone on the nest i cannot stand.  So far I'm liking a lot of people! uh so far @livleightonI seem to agree with the most though.

    I sit at work for 8 hours at night monitoring alarms and we only get like 3 or 4 at most in so I need to kill time somehow at work.  I've been a lurker for a long time and decided time may go faster if I jump in and start adding my two cents
     
    EDIT: I figured out the SN of the person I was talking about
