Hey ladies,

I thought I would introduce myself and join the LIW community. I''m 27 and live in Florida. DBF and I have been dating for 6.5 years, and we''re moving in together at the end of this month. We''re planning on buying a home together around November/December (must take advantage of that first-time homebuyer tax credit!) and plan to be engaged before then. So, not long left for a proposal, I hope! Waiting another six months is nothing compared to the 6.5 years that have already passed

We''ve been discussing what kind of wedding we want, and we''re hoping to set a date for sometime in October or November of 2010, after the engagement. So far, it looks as if we''ll be getting the marriage license here in the United States, bypassing a formal ceremony and maybe having something very intimate on the beach - for example, our parents, maid of honor and best man - and heading to Europe for 12-14 days. We want to make things all about us as possible, and we want to focus on having a fantastic honeymoon, rather than a huge wedding.

Anywho, my main interests are running, swimming, cycling (I race in both running and triathlon races). It seems as if all I do is sleep, train, work, eat, train, race, sleep, repeat

I also enjoy doing anything outdoors, reading, kicking back with a good glass of wine or a cold beer, traveling, and hanging out with DBF, friends and family.

welcome welcome. You should put yourself on the list. It''s fun to watch yourself climb (to some pple anyway. To others it''s torture). There are lots of great people here!

Thank you, everyone!

I just looked at the LIW list. Can I be added? Or do I have to create a separate thread?

To add yourself to the LIW list, just request to be added in the sticky thread up top ("the official LIW list"). The list''s moderator, currently the lovely LadyPirate, will add you.

Welcome! I''m also a marathoner (I do 2-3 races a year), so I love your screenname. Haven''t gotten into tris yet, though, I''m miserable on a bike.

Wow, thank you for all of the nice welcomes! I''m hoping that my becoming an LIW doesn''t further my obsession with a hopefully impending engagement. As it is, it''s tough not to snoop around DBF''s place and look for hints of anything promising!



inhisarms - June 9 is not far away! I look forward to hearing about your proposal

rialaine - I''m on the east side of Florida, in Jupiter. St. Pete is nice; what brought you to Florida?

misskitty - All right, another marathoner! Triathlons are a good way to utilize any cross training you might do, and, much like running races, it''s very addictive. The bike wasn''t bad, once I mastered the art of not crashing and clipping in and out of the pedals. Do you have an upcoming marathon? I ran the National Marathon in D.C. in March, and will start training in July for the Philadelphia Marathon in November.

Thanks for the all the welcomes!!

Cristina- I think I''ve heard of Jupiter. I''m actually interning for the MLB team- the Tampa Bay Rays. I''m having a blast here, but I do get terribly home sick. Thank God there''s so much fun stuff to do around here! It wasn''t until I got down here that I thought-- "We should get married on the beach!" & the ideas just keep rolling in. lol. I text DBF every morning with a new idea. We''re in the process of looking for our first home too! We currently live in a small town about 30 min north of Nashville and are looking to move to an upscale suburb on the south side of Nashville.
