I got engaged!!
To disable ads, please log-in.
My boyfriend of a little over a year proposed to me last night.
I kinda thought that he had something up his sleeve. We've been talking marriage for better than 6 months. But, he's been saying a lot of stuff lately, I didn't think he'd wait for Christmas because that'd be obvious... Turns out the ring was ready yesterday and he planned on proposing anyway. It also would've been my dad's birthday.
Nick thought about not doing it, he wanted the engagement to be a special day. He did talk to my mom about it again. He had talked to her and my brother on Thanksgiving. My mom thought that it would be good, something really happy to associate with the day too... and a way to remember my dad too.
He proposed to me at the bar that we first met at. We had met via an online dating experiment. We knew some of the same people anyway, but who knows if we ever would have met. He lived in a town I grew up near, half an hour away. He works for a man that was my dad's best friend as a child. It's been a good year.
Just yesterday a co-worker asked if I was getting a ring for Christmas.
So, even more incentive to log those miles this year! AND lift some weights to make sure that my arms look smashing too. Hmmm... 10 year class reunion and probably a wedding in one year. Now, as long as I don't break my arm this season. Because it'd have to be the right arm again so that I don't detract from my left hand. It was tough last spring. I'm right handed.
Do you suppose that I could register for a mountain bike? The fiance will ride with me occasionally, but he likes going fast with a motor in front of him.

Congrats Hammer!!!!
Sounds like he's quite a catch, and the two of you were meant to be together (so many coincidences, eh?).
I wish you the best for the upcoming year (you know; no broken bones, lots of fun planning, riding a lot with DF).
Congrats!

Congratulations!
Why not register at a bike shop? If that is what is important to you!
Make sure your honey registers for what he wants too!
