So we just got engaged on Christmas Eve (popular date!) and I've been lurking on these boards for months. In the past couple of days, we've tentatively set Nov. 5 2011 as our date while we check with parents and out-of-town attendants (we both work full time, me with monthly travel, and I also go to school part time, so we're trying to schedule it between travel and school terms). I have some serious monkey brain and I'm already freaking out about, like, everything. But I am so happy! We are so happy
He keeps calling me his fiancee and it's just adorable.
He proposed Christmas Eve morning at like 7 a.m. I had just gotten back from walking the dog and was on my computer when he came out of the bedroom. And I was mildly irritated because I wanted some alone time lol! So it turned out he'd gotten the ring - my mother's wedding band with her engagement stone set in it (she passed away in 2006) - from my dad on Monday, and had been trying to knock me off course all week long. He was pretty successful, because I was pretty surprised! We'll have been together two years in March and moved in together this past May. I'm 30, he's 32 (33 in January), and we love our crazy family of a Shar-pei mix and a curmudgeonly cat
Looking forward to posting more of my craziness here and on other boards. Merry Christmas!
