HI! I'm learning to love pesto. Will you share you recipe??

Mm Costco!

Hello!

Explain the wedding dress thing? I'm tipsy and the math is just not adding up for me. I'm confused.

What's your favorite alcoholic beverage?

Last movie you saw in the theater?

smalfrie19 · December 2013

Lol well my wedding is next October and i bought my wedding dress LAST November...
My favorite alcoholic beverage is amaretto and raspberry lemonade
Catching Fire on turkey day

QuiltingNurse · December 2013

I'm confused about the wedding dress as well. You bought it over a year ago? Were you engaged within 10 months of meeting (I'm not judging, just curious)? With such a big age gap I'm also curious how you met (again, not judging).

Pictures of fur babies?

KeptInStitches · December 2013

What's your favorite winter activity?

audrewuh · December 2013

Why are you doing an intro post when you've been around NEY for at least 6 months?

blabla89 · December 2013

Whaaat now I want an intro post!!!

But anyway, what part of the country are you from? What's your favorite kind of restaurant? What organizations do you volunteer with?

Also have you ever had arugula pesto? That stuff is the DEAL.

blabla89 · December 2013

double post...derp

Yes...we were engaged after six months. We met while working together, we were in the same department

I am from about 30 miles north of Seattle. Being from the pnw i like seafood and Italian. I like to volunteer at barns or horse rescues. I start at one on Saturday.

Sorry, maybe I missed this.

You mean to tell me that your FI began dating you when he was 34 and you were 20...and neither of you see anything wrong with this?

Are you SURE he's not out there on To Catch a Preditor?

(Insert apology for my frankness, but I'm drunk and I don't really care.)

smalfrie19 · December 2013

That's correct. I was two months from my twenty first birthday. Yes there is an age difference. i prefer it that way...boys my age are too immature in my opinion. i can understand on paper its really weird and creepy i agree...in person, its just different. If any of you ladies are out this way, I'd be happy to host you for dinner.

audrewuh · December 2013

Hey, she isn't like homegirl earlier today was was dating an actual pedophile. Age gaps don't bother me as much once the 20 yr old threshold is broken by both people.

Small, I get why you would think @swazzle's question would lead you to believe we didn't know you, but in fact that is not true. We just happened to not remember that aspect. A whole intro post seems a little AW-ish when you've been posting as often as you have AND you've been around since before my hiatus.

That's totally my own opinion. An AMA would have been a better option, or, you know, just having conversations with people.

audrewuh · December 2013

P.S. What part of the country are you in?

FoxandBunny · December 2013

Do you ride horses on a regular basis? What discipline?

We seem to have a lot of riders/horse-lovers on this board. This makes me happy.

natswild · December 2013

Add me in as horse lover (and horse painter...)

cu97tiger · December 2013

What did you do to piss off Linger?

What does your screenname mean?

Where did you and your FI work together?

Combo of young + dating short time before being engaged + big age gap makes me worried for you.

smalfrie19 · December 2013

Seattle, WA PNW (Pacific north west...however my phone had initially auto corrected to "wettest" which also works)

I used too before we got engaged. I have experience in western pleasure, Hunters/jumpers, dressage and vaulting. I have also driven a cart and pony once

Blackbird230 · December 2013

Yay another horse lover!

I'm kind in the whatever floats your boat with the age gap. My only advice is to just be careful as you're going to change a lot in the upcoming years and he won't be changing. If that makes any sense. It's early and I need more coffee.

Everyone seems to think I am the reason Stage and Linger got banned...whatevs...Its really not important to me

We worked at a branded merchandise agency in their inbound call center .

I see how on paper it's concerning. Its a different dynamic IRL. We definitely have our problems, but as a couple we work through it. We believe its important enough. Also, we are having a very long engagement (2+ years)

smalfrie19 · December 2013

Also Furbabies

I thought it started because of the FB group thing when you kicked out Stage for no reason?

How long did you know your FI before you started dating?

Meh, it is what it is.

5 months. He started in the department in August and we started dating in January.
