Epiphany 2010: or getting engaged sort of messes with your exercise routine
Not that I have a routine yet. I do have new running shoes as of yesterday (thanks to Beth at The Running Room on Hennepin Ave for putting up with me!!) I didn’t get to try them out today because my card key didn’t work on the building’s gym door.
And it’s all the talking on the phone.
If I was really smart I guess I’d take my cell phone to the gym and talk while walking but I’m a big fan of the “heavy breather” routine on a cell phone.
It has been really great to talk with so many people who are so happy for us (and thanks to all y’all here too!)
A couple of FAQs:
Where’s the jewelry? Don’t have any yet. There’s talk (and time) and when it comes down to it I’m not much of a jewelry person anyway so I’m a little stumped about what I would “pick.” Mostly it gets in my way but after a couple of days now I’m leaning toward thinking a “lil’ sumpin’” would be OK
Do you have a date? Not yet. Trying to gather calendar information for DS1 and DS2 and G’s kids/family not to mention a few friends who Cannot Be Absent.
Are you going to change your name? Probably not but again, haven’t talked about it yet. I figure I spent 22 years with my father’s name and 25 years (my entire adult life/career) with X’s name. Do I really want to spend the next 25 years with yet a different name?
Where are you going to live? This we have talked about. DS2 still has two years of high school left so G will be moving in to my house. No big rush to sell his and the process of what moves over and what doesn’t will take some time. Although that could all change if J2 & M find work here in the cities and want to take over his place. We’d have to move much quicker to clean it out and get it ready for them.
Were you surprised? Yup. Obviously we’d been talking about “it” but I had no idea that Sunday was the day.
On another happy note: 3 more sleeps until we’re in Mexico visiting Sr.K (and enjoying an 70/80 degree improvement in the weather!!!)
Blessings and light, my friends.

Still so excited for you…the details will all work themselves out!!
Glad the Running Room was about to help you – they are great.
Yea for 3 more sleeps! I will admit that I totally count things in sleeps too!

Those sound like mostly good things to wrangle. I’m so happy for you two.

Again, yay on the engagement! I hope it is more than a 70 or 80 degree difference from here (if you count the wind chill). That would still only put it in the 20-30 degrees F range. Much better than 50 below, but still not vacation-in-Mexico weather! Have a great time and give SrK a big hug from me and drool on her from Itty.
