Out of Lurking

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!

    Still here and still fabulous!

  • Thanks all! @Keptinstitches, I don't have pics of the scruffy ones on this computer, but I will upload some later.
    @Kait, let's face it, potatoes are best consumed in fry form with cajun seasoning, but there is really no bad preparation.
    @Amapola14, cupcakes. Plain white cake with plain white frosting. I like simplicity. My drink is more complex. I love a very heavy, rich Belgian ale.
    @Bethsmiles, we met at a Halloween party. I was dressed as a cat. He and I became friends, and he was steadfastly in the friendzone for a solid three years before he finally admitted he actually liked me and wanted to date me. I was not interested. He wore me down. ;-)
    @KateJ16, somewhere new and exotic. I like to explore, hike, get to know the real country. My favorite vacations have been to the Amazon ,so I think Brazil would be the next dream locale.
    @southernpeach89, Ironman is a triathlon (swim, bike, run). It's the longest standard-distance triathlon. 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and a marathon (26.2 mile) run. All in one day. It took me 13 hours, 55 minutes to complete. I had to train exclusively for that event for 10 months, in addition to the years I spent doing shorter triathlons and marathons.

    Keep 'em coming!

  • I prefer the run. Run training brings me the most peace and richest reward. My best event, though, in terms of comparison to other athletes is the swim. When triathlon training is over, though, I always go back to running. I haven't swam or biked since the event!
