  She said yes!

  Merry Christmas everyone. I'm now engaged. Pretty shocked. Pretty excited. Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday. Happy birthday, Jesus!
  
  Best Christmas ever.

  Uh oh, better do the Christmas blog

  Merry Christmas everyone! And a Happy Hanukkah to my Jewish brethren. I hope everyone is having a wonderful time and keeping safe over the holidays. If you're on the East Coast, sounds like a good week to stay indoors and play games - or build snow castles and have epic neighborhood snowball fights. My vote is for the latter. Then come inside, grab some hot cocoa and frag your friends over a little Modern Warfare.
  
  Keeping pretty quiet around these parts. My girlfriend flew in on Monday morning and we went out and bought a tree together that night. Still need to finish decorating it and apparently my colored lights (that I got for free out of a dumpster) are no good by her standards and next year we need to get white ones. And who's genius idea was it to make you purchase hooks separately from ornaments? It's like buying a car without tires. It's the whole batteries not included bit again - which by the way is an excellent movie... Sounds like we'll be spending Christmas day with her sister a couple hours north. Fine by me, I guess... actually, I hadn't really given much though... no games, no football, no nookie nookie... hmmm not so sure I'm into this...
  
  Anyway, still plan on proposing on Christmas morning. Pretty nervous. Second guessing everything. Wondering if it's the right move. Wondering if I'm ready. Wondering if she's the one... blah blah blah. I really just want to ask and get it over with.
  
  Not doing a whole lot of gaming right now. Letting my WoW account expire this month. Playing a little MW2 online here and there but nothing else. If you're on my list though and see me online don't hesitate to send me a message

  Poppin' the question

  Yes, THAT question. Finally come to that point in my life. Kind of surprised myself. I've always been content rolling solo. I'm only posting this because I'm 99% certain that there's no way she'll look here. My anonymous haven on the internet.
  
  So little question for anyone that's married or engaged here... did you all do engagement rings? I'm not a diamond guy. She's not really a diamond girl - though she wouldn't mind having one. I feel like it's almost expected nowadays to do a ring. Like there's something missing from the proposal if you don't have one. What do you do if you forgo the engagement ring? Do you replace it with a regular wedding band? I like the idea of having something that other people can recognize. I'm thinking about just giving her something cheap and then buying something nice with her if that's what she really wants. Just looking for other ideas and what other people have done.
