Hello 
So, I'm finally getting a bit less socially awkward and shy on here, thus I'm starting the PJ today. We're a bit over five months out, so that's a good time to start, right?
Right. Well, I'm Kristen, and my fiance is Doug.
(I haven't posted an image on a forum in forever, so hopefully it doesn't come up ginormous!)
I'm 30, and Doug will be 29 in just over a week. We're both from MA, and met close to three years ago. I had spent most of my 20s living in CA, and when I moved back home, I transferred to a local Walmart and that's where we met. (It's the best thing that the company's ever done for me. One of the only good things!
) Our first date was March 5th of last year, and I knew at six weeks that he was the one for me.
We probably have the strangest, least romantic proposal story, but hey, I've never been the typical girl anyways! One night this past summer, I was doing a survey online (because, hey, any extra income is a good thing!), and I told him, 'ya know, I already feel like we're married' (we've been living together since July of last year), and he agreed. The next morning in bed, I remember saying, "I know we already feel that we are, but can you ask me anyways?" (Really, I am the world's biggest dork, and I'm completely okay with that) I still have to get the ring resized (stupid swelling fingers affecting my previous ring size!), but here's a pic of it
(A few years back, I went on an Alaskan cruise, and fell in love with all the tanzanite jewelry, hence my choice in stone. Plus it's really pretty and a bargain, too!
)
Let's see... about us. We're both pretty geeky in our own separate ways. I'm huge on reading (currently working on book 109 for the year!), LOTR, Harry Potter, all things Tudor-esque, and whatever other history sparks my interest. Doug's of the computer geek variety, being a programmer for a MA-based company that provides hospitals with computer programs, and he's big into Star Wars, Star Trek, comics, etc. We compliment each other nicely.
(I'm so terrible at intro type thingies. I feel like I'm babbling more than usual)
We chose May 5th of next year, because Doug felt it would give people a bit more time to save. I wanted March 5th, but ah well. We'll be there in time for the Flower Show at Epcot, so yay for topiaries.
I think I'll do a separate post for the wedding-y details. I hope I didn't bore anyone too terribly!

) Doug will also have another groomsmen, Seth, who's Vicky's husband, and their two adorable kids will be our ringbearer (David, who'll be 5 then) and flower girl (Kenzie, who just turned two). 
I may or may not have had a general timeframe listed about two months prior to the 180-day mark... 
Everything sounds & looks great! 
That must be hard. And, why the heck does the doctor care if you have a driver's license?! I didn't even start driving til I was 20 and I HATE driving!!!!! (But I love my car, so I guess it could be worse...)
