Big News!!

Hey all!! I've been an infrequent TRFer over the last six months, as my work seems to completely consume all of my time.

And, when I do have free time, I usually like to spend it with a certain special lady...who...

Is now my fiance!!! We got engaged about two weeks ago, and I just wanted to share (cause I know some folks on the forum were expecting it soon...).

We're planning a small wedding here at our home in July, then we're going to hop around the Greek Islands for a bit in August. We're so excited!!

Here's a pic of us from a few summers ago. (I'm wearing my Sub, which she has confiscated and has been wearing on a NATO for the last two months.)

Good luck and Godspeed to both of you.

Heck no; I bought my watches first--ever heard of separate property?

I am, however, going to have to be creative in coming up with the dough for the wedding, honeymoon, and her new DJ. I hope I don't have to sell anything.
