Not Engaged Yet

Hi, new here!

Hi ladies!  I've been lurking here for a little while and figured I should introduce myself.  I filled out the intro information above but here it is as well.  Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Screen Name: flygirlmeg
Age: 33
Significant Other's Age: 36
What You Do: pilot (military, not airline)
What SO Does: In the winter he runs the ski/snowboard shop that he and his family own and in the summer he teaches golf at our local course.  He's a PGA pro but since we live in the mountains where there's only 6 months of playable golf, he has two careers!
State of Relationship: Lots and lots of engagement/wedding/etc talk - no action.
How Long You've Been Together:  Will be two years this coming July 4th (2011)
When You're Getting Married (if you're engaged): NEY
When You Got Married (if you're married): NMY
Fur Babies: Our FANTASTIC "son" Hogan who brings lots of extra love and laughs into our home.
Favorite Color: Generally, some shade of aqua/teal but also love mustard and eggplant.
Favorite Thing About Your SO:  The way he makes me laugh til my stomach aches at any time of day. 
Least Favorite Thing About Your SO:  He's not always great at paying attention/listening but he tries hard!
Hobbies/Activities: For me, photography, running (jogging, really), cooking.  For him, golf, mountain biking, skiing.  For US, hiking, boating, having too much fun with our friends and family!!
Describe Your Personality:  Outgoing, silly but not in a ditzy way, love to plan/schedule (which drives BF crazy but he loves that I do it so he doesn't have to!), impatient.
Snark Level (1 [low snark] - 10 [high snark]):  6.9 on the snark-scale
Tell Us Something Interesting About Yourself:  I've been in the military for 14 years.  I feel so, so lucky to have a man in my life who loves and appreciates what I do and never once complains about my trips, deployments, etc. 

ETA: Looks like the profile thing on the left side says I live in Orange County - I don't.  We actually live in Big Bear (beautiful Southern California mountains!)

    Welcome!  Your dog is cute!

    Have you ever been married before?

    If you had to be a mollusk, what kind would you be and why?

    Regular wine glasses or stemless?

    Sluttiest outfit you own?

    What kind of planes do you get to fly?

    WOW!!  Overwhelmed with welcomeness - THANKS!!
    So, from the top for the questions:

    Lunar - That's a big fat YES to drinking wine together!!  And, yes, we have a very, very fortunate, fun life together.  Where in Colorado are you moving?

    Hazel - thanks!  When did your FI live there?  It's a super small town so we may have known him!

    csousa1 - yes to cheese & mashed potatoes but enh to Harry Potter.  Our nieces LOVE HP though and just had a huge HP themed birthday party sleepover.  BF dressed up as a wizard for them!

    jorhys - Thanks!  I've been wearing Saucony Grid Omnis for a few years but am thinking of going for a new shoe-fit-test before my upcoming 10k (my first!).  Any recommendations?

    kbbouch - So glad you've been to my town!!  BF is originally from there and I moved up there last year and just love it.  I have lots of favorite things to cook but my specialties are bacon wrapped dates, loco moco, and oven roasted corn in chili coconut milk!  Guess I'll have to post those!

    IrishDreamer - WANT to that root beer cake recipe!!  Sounds sooo good!  Oh - and big fan of LOLcats!

    And everyone - thank you so much for the super warm welcome, the "thanks for service," and compliments on the pup!!

    rdr716 - Thanks! - he (Hogan) just turned a year old at the end of May.  I should post some newer spring/summer pics of him but I just love that one so much!  Pics of Lucy please!!

    Meg - I'll have to ask him tonight. My guess is about 3 or 4 years ago though and he's in the right age range to maybe have met your FI. He has similar snow photos from Big Bear with his/our dog Molson.

    Edit - Sorry, I meant BF.

    Thanks!! I wasn't a dog person until my bf suggested we look at his friend's puppies. I knew as soon as I agreed to LOOK that we'd be coming home with one haha. She's a good girl though!! 

    We actually just got back from a cruise about 2 wks ago, left out of NYC, stopped in San Juan, St Martin, St Thomas, & Tortola. It was amazing!! The countdown in my signature, though, is for a girl's getaway to Grand Cayman in December before my friend gets married!! I can't wait!! 

    What's your favorite vacation ever?

    rdr716 - That sounds like a FAB vacation!!  And Grand Cayman sounds fantastic as well!  I haven't been to the Caribbean at all but I'm hoping to so someday.  Also really want to go to South America but haven't managed a trip down that way either.  I've spent quite a bit of time in Europe for both work and vacation - Italy, Greece, Germany, England - and I have LOVED all those trips but my favorites are the trips I take with the BF.  We do Lake Powell as a family vacation every summer and have been to Maui and Kauai for a wedding and to visit friends.  Seems like a lot of our trips are for weddings - headed up to San Francisco for a wedding this weekend!!

    Lunar - I know!!  It's not that I don't like HP, just that don't follow it.  But I got the cheese & potatoes part!!

    Awww - raven I'm sorry!!  You gave such a warm welcome and then I completely left you out.  Wasn't on purpose!  Anyway, favorite place I've been . . . that's so hard to say.  The most exotic place is Malaysia.  Went there for work but didn't have any time to see anything so I can't count is as my fav.  I think my favorite place would be the Greek islands.  I've been for work and for fun to several of them (Crete, Santorini, Mykonos) and they are really spectacular.  You get all the history and culture of Europe but also the warm beachy feel of South America or Hawaii.  I highly recommend them!

    (please forgive me?)
