Introducing Myself
I posted in a couple threads but wanted to formally introduce myself.
My name is Frances and my wonderful fiance is named Matt. We have been together over two years and engaged 23 days. The first 16 month of our relationship were long distance cause he was in the Navy.
We are getting married February 15th, 2014. The plan is a small family only wedding with meal afterward. Then in March my parents are throwing us a party.
Glad I found this board. I hope we can encourage each other. My wedding is "non-traditional" in many ways and I feel like many people would say we're not following "etiquette" correctly or some such.
Hope to get to know you ladies better. Where you all from? I'm in Illinois in the Chicago area.

On our 5th date--I taught my boyfriend how to play the card game cribbage. He knew some guys on his sub who played and wanted to learn. That became one of the things we like to do together.
On June 8th we went to a local river fest and walked around and rode the Ferris Wheel. After lunch we went back to my house. He told me, "I got you a present." So I opened a box to see a new heart shaped cribbage board. Inside was a deck of cards and a velvet bag. He got this big grin on his face and said, "Why don't you pull out the pegs so we can play?" Inside with the pegs was my ring! Then he asked, "Will you marry me?" And of course I said, "yes." We then later played a game of cribbage which he won. Also took a couple pictures to show people. Then we finished our day watching The Muppets.
I'm not usually big on large jewelry but he told me that's it's so big because he loves me so much. Took some getting used to but now I love wearing it and could not imagine a more perfect ring.
My sister actually knew he was right for me when he called me a cheater while we were playing cards. My family is very competitive in games and call each other "cheaters" in jest.

What do you do?
I currently call eastern Virginia home, but will be moving in about two months to either eastern Maryland or central Indiana (praying for central Indiana, as that's where FH lives).
I job hunt----I would love to be a librarian but that hasn't happened yet. I am working with a couple temp agencies and hope to get something more permanent that way. I really just want to work for a couple years and pay off debts. Then Lord willing I will be a stay at home mom.
FI and I are from SE Iowa.
