An Announcement......ETA photo and more info as requested

I am engaged to be married.

I had sworn I would never remarry but in February of 2013, I met a man who has changed my mind about marriage.  He is kind, easy going, and funny.    I look forward to sharing my life with him.

The saying "grow old along with me, the best is yet to be" has a special meaning as we are both 57.



Here we are last month at my nephew's graduation.  We plan to marry at the end of December, depending on the date the rabbi is available.   The proposal was low key; we were discussing our long term future plans and just decided that we wanted that future to be together.  It was a mutual decision rather than a "proposal".  No ring; I don't want one.  I'd rather any money go into our retirement account.  We're very comfortable and low key with each other.  It's so nice.

As far as how we met; it was a local on-line dating service that I signed up for because my gf pleaded with me to join with her so she wouldn't feel odd.  Until the very last minute, I almost cancelled out of meeting him for coffee because I wasn't interested in dating.  My gfs encouraged me to go saying "it's just a cup of coffee".  Well, three hours and several cups of coffee later, we were still yakking and made a second date.  The rest is history.
