I so wish I could be with you to celebrate in person. The world is right in itself, tonight.
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
Okay, so forgive me for asking, but was this one of those things where, like, you were sitting on the couch and staring into each other's eyes and Bob said, his voice low with emotion, "You know, Dana, I feel like I've known you forever. I'd ask you to marry me, if I thought for a second you'd say yes." And then Dana would go, "Well, heck, if you've got some rings, I AM an ordained minister...."
Seriously, you two look very happy, indeed.

Bob, isn't she just the most beautiful, wise, funny, heart-wrenchingly awesome woman ever? Her long silky hair, her luminescent eyes, her sweet laugh, her everything? Aren't you the luckiest guy in the world?
Dana, isn't he just the neatest guy you've ever known? Isn't he incredibly cool, handsome, witty, and deep, so strong and so radiantly perfect? Aren't you the luckiest girl?

Dude, she's wearing his stegosaurus cap. What more proof do you want? Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Just spoke with them on the phone a short bit ago -- they were considering waiting until April first to announce, just so we'd all assume it was a joke (which would have been mighty funny, especially to LDS members like David Bowles), but they couldn't wait that long to share the news. They were meeting with the clergy member who will be officiating the ceremony, so I think it's pretty real.
I'm still in a bit of shock myself, but ever so happy for them. Congrats again, you two lovebirds....

btw Dana, whenever you get around to reading this thread again. Were your baskeball obessed friends that we met from Iowa City?
My friend that is the cello and orchestra teacher in Davenport is taking a leave of absence from his job, and going to whichever university is in Iowa City for a PhD. The problem is that he needs to find dog-friendly accommodations. He's going to place the two puppies he has left, but his two older dogs he couldn't possibly give up. I was wondering if you knew anyone that could help.

I think I'll deal with the engagement shock after I get over the dating thing. I'm not sure I'm strong enough to handle both. Come to think of it, maybe I should do it the other way around. You know, get the big one out of the way first, like ripping off a bandaid. <represses memory>.....<done>

Oddly enough, I wasn't shocked when I finally figured this out (took a little reading through) - wasn't expecting it, but it wasn't shocking.
Produced an immense grin that is, of course, impossible to really explain to colleagues here. (The fact that I am a romantic deep inside is a secret that Diane helps me keep.)
There are very few pictures I've seen recently that can compare with the pure happiness radiating from the both of you.
This is great! Congratulations!

You know... Hatrack is basically your built-in wedding planner. You have a photographer in Mack, invitation designers in Annie and the other Jatraquero artists, plenty of food planners, and any number of other duties. But, perhaps that's just a little too much for now. Plenty of time for details to come.

I hope planning the food for the wedding after-party that hasn't even been planned by the bride and groom isn't considered thread derailment...

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
We're trying to NOT worry too much about "sides" in the church, but Dana's extended family is huge and many (but not all) are within easy travel distance, whereas my extended family is small and unlikely to travel there.
So, plenty of seating on one side, crowded on the other.
Or, just come in and sit anywhere.
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
We'll all file in and sit on Bob's side. Wow, Bob! You sure don't look like all the members of your family!
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
With Southern Italian, Northern Italian, Austrian and Slavic blood mixed in, I'm pretty sure anyone lacking an epicanthic fold is going to look like one or more of my relatives.

Slavic blood?
Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :
I’m in favor of the “just come in and sit anywhere” option. I’m always thought that having people take sides at the wedding sets a bad precedent.
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
especially if they're armed!
Kama -- yep. Jugoslavian.
Town is called Rabaç, outside of Trieste.
Basically, they were whatever nationality took over that week, according to my grandmother.
note: Edited to add the uber-cool ç character in the name Rabaç.

We are WAY jazzed about this at the Card house. So congrates Bob and Dana. Things like this make Hatrack worthwhile -- a real community. Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
1. Wow! You got accolades from the Cards.
--and--
2. Posts like that make me nervous. I get this idea we are just hanging on by a thread.
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
Kristine...thanks! It really is a great community and as we've found, one that is both difficult to explain to others, but easy as well.
For example, it's not really correct to say simply "we met online" because that implies so many ominous things in today's society. Or people think it's a dating service and they ask how much you charge and whether there's streaming audio.
But when we say it like "we met through a discussion group" or "it's an online community" people may not know what it means but they at least don't come away with the completely wrong impression.
What more can I say but thanks to our hosts & moderators for letting us use your living room. I hope we can make it worth your time, money and effort.
Posted by SillyMe (Member # 6395) on :
Okay, I can't stand it anymore!
Hi, all..........I'm Kris, a friend of Dana's. She sent me the link of this thread to read and I've been lurking.
I just had to tell you all I had the privilege of meeting Bob last weekend and WOW what a guy! He scored big brownie points when he heard that I am a daycare provider said, "Oh, do you own your own business?" Maybe a small distinction to some, but a BIG issue to me. PLUS he didn't even mind when my team beat his at Scene-It.
Anyway, your last post is what made me register and speak up, Bob.......I also am part of an "ONLINE COMMUNITY" of childcare providers and so I totally DO understand. I even posted over there about you two.
Welcome in advance to the Great Corn State........ I am a transplant to this state myself, and I can testify that you will love it here. Posted by lcarus (Member # 4395) on :

Kris!
Welcome. Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
Welcome to the community Kris.
I was questioning your name when I realized you hit the smiley limit with your first post. Yep, SillyMe sounds some how fitting.
Now, dish all the Dana dirt her sister refused to tell.
Posted by Vána (Member # 3262) on :
SillyMe - I talk to child care providers every day, for work. I'm so glad you do actively consider yours a business - you might be amazed to know how many think of it simply as a job. If you were in my database, I imagine I'd be delighted when I saw your name come up on my call list.
Also - is this
quote:Welcome in advance to the Great Corn State
confirmation that Bob will in fact be moving to Iowa? I hope so!
Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :

I think this means that if it ever looks like Hatrack is in danger of shutting down, you're going to have to marry one of the eligible single men here, Kat.
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
Thanks Kris. Welcome to the board!
And thanks for the brownie points. I hope those are low carb brownie points.
I think the great corn state and I will get along in perfect hominy!
And I'm getting used to losing at Scene-It. At least this time I did it in person. It made all the difference. Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

Muwhahaha... More people will come to a Hatrack get-together if Bob comes! (starts planning 2007 MN get-together)

Posted by lcarus (Member # 4395) on :
Aw, shucks!
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
Kayla...I think the holidays will be spent with Dana's folks, probably at our place. (OMG! "our" place!!!)
But...we'll be very close to the KC area and could probably visit you & yours at other times.

That one went against the grain, Icarus.

That was one silky-smooth pun Bob.

Yeah, maybe the one with de tassel.

I've been *trying* to figure out how to work "tassle" into this. Boy does it steam me that someone got there first!
We're starting to run out of puns, I think. Pretty soon we'll all be resorting to combining words like Icarus did in his pun.
Posted by SillyMe (Member # 6395) on :
And *I* was trying to work in "combine"! So we're even.
tassle? not tassel? Hm...... Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

quote:Cornfields, it turns out, are dangerous places. In Iowa alone there are over sixty corn-related car accidents each year. It seems that when the corn gets as high as an elephant's eye - sorry, that's Oklahoma I'm thinking of - I mean, when it gets tall it blocks the driver's view, causing them to mistake the cornfield for the state fair so they start playing bumper cars. Of course it could be that they just turned a little too much of their crop into corn liquor.
