Hello all! I've been lurking for about a year now, when BF started talking about rings and proposals and whatnot. Life got in the way for a while, though, so the proposal didn't happen last year. Now we are back to seriously discussing it, he's talked to my mom, and the talk with the dad is forthcoming. We've started designing a ring, and we approved the rendering to be cast in wax last night. I am absolutely giddy.
Now that it's becoming more of a reality, I wanted to introduce myself so you can help me contain the anticipation. I know once we approve the wax, I will remove myself from any further ring talk and the ball goes in his court to determine the final when. I want to be surprised.
A little about me: I have two furbabies: a cattle dog mix who was mine before BF came into the picture, and a cat we adopted together. Everyone says to immerse yourself in a new hobby to distract yourself, but I just completed an Ironman, so I am trying to manage my new-found free time. I am also still training for a marathon, so that keeps me busy. We have birthdays, an anniversary, and the holidays coming up, too, so I am hoping focusing on those things will keep me distracted.
Thanks for providing me with entertainment and advice from the shadows for the last year!
