Significant Other's Age:  29

What You Do:  Associate Veterinarian at a small animal hospital

What SO Does:  Manager for the wholesale department of a car dealership

State of Relationship:  Picked out a ring, going to purchase it on Saturday!  But SO would still like to surprise me with a proposal sometime in the next year...

How Long You've Been Together:  About 3 years

When You're Getting Married (if you're engaged):  Probably sometime in 2013, but who knows...

When You Got Married (if you're married):  I've actually been married and divorced before this current relationship

Fur Babies:
Well you can imagine, based on my profession, that I've got animals, but SO does as well.  Here's all 7 of them listed youngest to oldest
1.  Diablo, aka Puma, 8 month old jet black neutered male kitty (rescue)
2.  Rio, aka Bad Beagle, 1.5 year old neutered male Treeing Walker Coonhound (rescue)
3.  Ellie, aka Boo Boo, 3 year old female spayed Black Lab/Pit Bull Mix (rescue)
4.  Rhade, aka Biggie Man, 4 year old Yellow Lab (convinced a breeder not to use him for breeding because only one of his testicles dropped and took him for my own!)
5.  Kitty, aka Big Girl, 6 year old female spayed brown tabby cat (rescue)
6.  Dewey, aka Dewey Dewey Dumb Drop, 7 year old male neutered white and black kitty (rescue)
7.  Hewey, aka Skinny Man, brother to Dewey (rescue)

Favorite Color:  Green

Favorite Thing About Your SO:  He loves animals just as much as I do!  Really the greatest thing is that his whole goal in life is to make me happy.  He is such a selfless person.  Being with him makes me a better person, because I've learned how to be more selfless also.

Least Favorite Thing About Your SO:  He's a little hairy

Hobbies/Activities:  I used to play junior olympic volleyball back in the day.  I've gotten back into it by coaching little girl's teams.  I've also recently started a side business (to help with those student loan payments) as a stylist for Stella & Dot Jewelry.

Describe Your Personality:  I can be shy or quiet at first and I let other people make the first move.  I wish I were more outgoing.  Once I'm comfortable with the people in my surroundings I get loud and can be the life of the party.  My favorite thing to do with SO is go shopping or have a drink at our "regular spot".

Snark Level (1 [low snark] - 10 [high snark]):  3-I don't go out of my way to be mean or belittle someone, but if you say something out of line, don't expect me to sit idle.

Tell Us Something Interesting About Yourself:  I have been married once before.  I got married too young and didn't listen to my mother.  My former husband was very controlling and I wasn't a strong enough person at that time to realize that things he was doing and saying to me were not acceptable.  Although it was a difficult experience, it only makes me appreciate the person that I am with all the more.
