Hi,
I'm bad at this game. (I'm also terrible at remembering to introduce new people to eachother in person.) I have randomly posted on a few different boards but never really introduced myself here.
I was born/raised in North Dakota. I lived in Alaska during part of my schooling. I have a *very useful* degree in Art History.... .... ...In other news, I love to cook/bake and when I did live in Alaska I loved rock climbing. Well, I still love rock climbing, but North Dakota does not have mountains. FI and I are certified scuba divers as well.
We are gettin' hitched June 2 after a yearlong engagement. He tried to propose last Memorial day but by the time we had almost gotten to the spot he was intending to take me a huge storm hit so we started back home. And as we were heading back the tornado sirens went off. So we ran into a gas station and waited there with the lovely gas station attendant and a truck driver for about an hour for the storm to pass. I think he should have proposed then, it would have been a great story. But he waited until the next day.
After we get married we're hopefully moving out of NoDak so I can go to grad school in Virginia. If he can get transferred. Hoping for the best!

Re: Introduction
Tell us about your wedding!
That's story about your almost-engagement is funny.
Good luck getting transferred to VA!
We are getting married in a teeny tiny 100+ year old chapel in my hometown, and having an outdoor (hopefully!) reception. We have resereved an indoor location just in case. (See the almost engagement story ;-) )
Our colors are all shades of greens -- from FI's greens to middle tone greens in the bridesmaid dresses, to light green hydrangeas and roses. The accent color is bright yellow, and our 5 (yes 5) flowergirls will be in yellow. Our flowergirls are all the daughters of my mom and dad's 2 flower girls :-)
Food will be no less than AWESOME. This was my top priority. We are having an on-site rotisserie turning beef for hot beef sandwiches, polish sausage and sauerkraut (FI's family are Poles), vegetables, fruit, and cold bean salad. FI's mom is making all of the cakes.
I am excited and terrified that we are 19 days out.

FI believes there will be more opportunities for him career-wise in VA; and I do love VA and have family there. I still got into a decent school there so I'm not too bitter about Texas anymore. haha
I also believe everything happens for a reason... though that doesn't stop me from also analyzing everything to death anyways.
