Not Engaged Yet

Late Intro :)

I never particularly introduced myself, so I figured I would do so:

Boyfriend and I are 25 and have been dating for approximately 3 years.  I'm an instructor at college and he's an engineer.  We're both rather big math nerds.  We live in VA, even though the Knot claims I live in FL (I'm in a wedding as maid of honor in FL one of these days.)  We started off as long distance, as I went away to grad school while he was finishing up undergrad.  We have been living together for about a year.

No pets or anything fun, but we are both the craftiest people in the world.  I doubt there are many crafting/woodworking projects we would be unable to tackle eventually.

Oh, and I like the Colts.  A lot.  And have since they were 3-13 (aka when they stunk)  I also like the Yankees, but well...they're not doing too hot right now.

My fantasy football & baseball teams have stunk notoriously ever since my first season when I beat the boyfriend in the championship (I think that's when his dad started to like me).

Anything else? :)
I guess, to tell you the truth, I've never had much of a desire to grow facial hair. I think I've managed to play quarterback just fine without a mustache. - Peyton

    YAAAAY me too :) True fans stick it out through good years and bad years. The yankees might have had a few bad ones recently but they have a fantastic history behind them.

    Hi, I really want to like you but you like the COLTS and YANKEES???? Idk how that friendship will work. (True Boston fan at heart, aka Patriots and Red Sox)

    We can be non sports friends? Or just hardcore rivals. I will try to look past that though..

    I am kidding (sort of). Welcome Laughing *waves*

    Hi, but I don't like you.  Colts?  Yankees?  Ugh.  Such bad, bad, terrible taste...

    I wear my Patriots jersey to work on casual Fridays.  And even though I am not as passionate about baseball, the Yankees are the devil of American sports.

    Helloooo :) Well I am a Steeler's fan thru and thru so nothing off my back. I am a Yankee's fan as well and have been for years. I have no idea why anymore but I am a committed person and feel that I shouldn't stop being a fan after being one for nearly half my life.  I have had to defend it so many times I guess I would feel like I am backing down lol.  Anyway glad to have you here, I've seen some great advice comin from you!

    I love that we have so many football fans in our midst.  The boyfriend is a Ravens and O's fan, so he kinda hates me on gamedays (mostly).  But since we get the O's channel here, I have my favorite O's players (Corey Patterson).  It's a good combo I think!

    So cde, you probably hate the boyfriend too.  But we can be friends :)  But not on Sundays.

    moto, I've been getting into quilting lately (lots of friends have been having babies, so it's a good time to quilt.)  I'd love to learn how to patchwork quilt, but I'm bad with scissors and sewing machines, so we'll see.  We're making really cool woodworked potpourri boxes with holly leaves on top for our parents/gparents' Christmas presents.  (We've been making the parents crafty presents since we started dating, because they won't take anything else, haha)

    oh and coastie, I've never ever ever met a Yankees fan that also liked the Steelers, so at least you're original :)

    I'm a traitor since I don't have a Jersey team (since I am from there...) but I lean towards the Giants if pressed.  Only because I don't like Rex Ryan.

    Hi and welcome aboard...I'm a NASCAR nut, not really into any other sports; however FI has got me watching baseball this year and if were to even think about cheering for anyone other than this year's AL East champs, I'd be in some serious trouble (FI grew up in Tampa and his dad and sister still live there) . Tongue out I'll still talk to all of you, though.Wink

    LIES! I am a "real" fan, but only two teams play every Monday. So if we played Indy on a Monday, then the rule applies. If not then w/e IMO.

    Breezer, I actually respect the Saints.  I will always root for the Patriots regardless, but when the Saints are playing any other team I'll root for them.  I like an underdog, and they really pulled themselves up over the last few years from a nobody team to a Super Bowl champion, and pulled their city with them emotionally.  It's a great Cinderella story!

    Mets are just silly.  It's like being a White Sox fan.  Why bother? Innocent

    Sharks all the way! But I like it when Canadian teams come to town so we can sing "O Canada."

    SeaTea! Your 'Canes totally stomped us last night. It was not pretty, and the arena was half-empty with 5 minutes left in the third period.

    The only football in my house is the European kind (aka soccer). FI is a big fan; me, not so much. I'll just stick to hockey.
