Dravin Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Yes, I am engaged (heh) in some self-promotion/crowing. It’s one of those things that you feel like sharing with pretty much anyone you bump into, but since I’d rather get strange looks here instead of at school I’m sharing it here. Anyway, I’m now engaged and thought I’d share; it’s been torture holding it in for as long as I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenamarie Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 My DH took me around to his Home Teaching "families" (Single's ward, so he was assigned a few town houses to visit ) after we got engaged, so I understand the feeling! Congratulations!!! Now you know you have to tell us the proposal story, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dravin Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Now you know you have to tell us the proposal story, right? There isn't much to it as it's a long distance relationship. Since I couldn't be there I bought a webcam and recorded my proposal (she doesn't have a webcam and at any rate if she'd seen me all caught up she would have known something was up). So after recording it I sent it to her (entitled "Don't Watch" with a warning not to watch it without me) and I called her up. While I was on the phone I told her to open the video. As I don't have the ring yet (we have to get that part arranged still as she knows a jeweller who she wants to make it) I presented a ring-pop. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dravin Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I am, tis part of the reason for waiting for the end of the semester.

rameumptom Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Congrats, Dravin! I've been waiting for this since I ate dinner with the two of you last year! Will you move here, she move there, or are you moving somewhere in the middle? Or is this a long distance marriage? :) We have lots of great schools here: IUPUI, Ivy Tech, and GWU online!
