Hello.......

skyler1108

Hello,
           I am a long time lurker and just wanted to introduce myself. I am 23 years old (as of this up coming Monday) and my FI is 24. We have been engaged just over a year and our wedding date is Nov of next year. We just celebrated our 3 year anniversary yesterday. We moved to LA right after my college graduation about a year and a half ago from the Midwest. I like this board because I like the ladies that post here, you are honest, fun and give good advice which I find helpful.  I like that no one has to walk around on egg shells on this board like you sometimes have to on other boards, which is nice. The whole sunshine and puppy dogs attitude gets old.

Hi! Welcome! How do you feel about Pandas and mac & Cheese?

skyler1108

Thank you. Well for one mac and cheese is one of my favorite foods! Especially when there is bacon in it, everything is better with bacon. As for pandas I would have one if it was legal because they are pretty freakin awesome.

Welcome!  You seem normal, which is a nice change for this board today.

And all this talk of food is torture for me.... stupid friends wanting to get dinner at 8:30... grumble grumble.

skyler1108

Yea I'm pretty normal, a little nerdy sometimes but in general I'm pretty normal. I have seen some of the trolls that have come through here lately through my lurking and all I can do is shake my head in disgust. But 8:30 is pretty late for dinner so I will not mention delicious mac & cheese with bacon again! Scout's honor.......

Hello, you sound pretty normal   That's a great thing.  Do you have any fun hobbies?  Like crafting or cooking or hunting or something?

This is all sorts of awesome! I had Macaroni and Cheese for dinner as for pandas, I sold my pet panda  at our garage sale last year....

Oh and welcome Skyler and congrats on your engagement, I get the whole tired of puppies and rainbows thing  <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-kiss.gif" border="0" alt="Kiss" title="Kiss" />

Well, I love to bake. I come from a family of professional bakers so I pretty much didn't have a choice in that one. 

I don't hunt but my FI and I are into guns and like to go to the range. 

My FI loves to collect animation art so we have a pretty big collection of that. 

We are pretty into sports. He is a Green Bay fan while I like the Browns. 

We are HUGE Disney fans. We met at Disney World while FI was living there and working as Goofy (yes I am marrying Goofy, in more ways then one) and he proposed at Disneyland so it is kinda our thing. This is also why we will be having our reception dinner at a restaurant at Disneyland. 

Guns and Disney, they go together so well don't they?

Hello and welcome. I promise I am not "yucky" as the pp called me.

Hey there!  Welcome and glad to have you around.  Could use some type of "normal" around here.  Congrats on the engagement!  There are a few other Disney lovers here on this board as well.  I used to be a season pass holder but alas I had to cut back. 

Bacon! I smell BACON!

Welcome! I also got engaged at Disneyland, so I have a similar photo to your avatar. I just haven't gotten around to touching it up yet.

Hi and welcome aboard.  I am the world's biggest Goofy fan, so you are most certainly welcome here.

And for those who don't believe the biggest Goofy fan, here are a couple pictures of my room - this isn't even all of my Goofy collection

I think I realized my FI was "the one" when he didn't get weirded out by all my Goofy stuff...he just doesn't like it when I have the Goofy phone turned on 'cause it doesn't ring, it talks.

Hi and welcome - I love your story it is all sorts of cute ! I just got back from my honeymoon at Disneyland and me and my hubby both love anything Disney as well so you are not alone Hope to see you around more

skyler1108

Thank you everyone for being so welcoming and for the well wishes. Loopy don't worry I know better than to believe creatures that live under bridges. Angie that is a lot of Goofy stuff but as I said I am marrying Goofy so of course I love him too. My FI loves Goofy too and about half the shirts he owns has Goofy on it. I have a super cute shirt that has Mickey Mouse on it and it says "I'm with Goofy". I love wearing that shirt because it is actually true. Coastie I love mashed potatoes. I love starches so if it is made with rice, potatoes or pasta there is a really good chance that I like it. Leia that is awesome. Did they clap for you guys after you said yes? There were a bunch of teenage girls around that started clapping and screaming for us. Can't wait to see your pic.

I hope you guys missed all the rain we had! It hardly ever rains here.

Um, more importantly, how do you feel about Chupacabras, SoBe, and Canadian Cheddar Cheese soup?

skyler1108

    Chupacabras- I hope I never run into one and lucky I do not own any goats so I should be safe.

     SoBe- I like SoBe. While I was working the Gravity Games I pretty much lived on the stuff. Now I just enjoy it from time to time. 

     Canadian Cheddar Cheese soup- Well I love cheese especially cheddar and I love broccoli and cheddar soup so I would assume Canadian Cheddar Cheese soup would be just as good even though I have not had it.

It was 10pm, and we were deliberately on the side of the castle with no people so we could avoid the crowd.  =) If anyone saw us (and I'm sure there were at least a few people) they quietly went on their way.

Welcome!! I'm glad you've passed the mac and cheese, panda, sobe, chupacabras, and Canadian cheddar cheese soup tests.


FI and I need to have a chat, I want a Disney engagement. I demand a re-do!

marleylikeair

Hi and welcome! I'm pretty new here, too.

Also, mac & cheese is good. Also, panda bears are cool. One of my pet names for BF.

Not into guns, but am a big fan of some of the older "princess" Disneys as well as the Disney/Pixar films. My mom says I watched Sleeping Beauty almost every day when I was like 4.
