DBF and I have been dreaming of getting a house on a bit more property than we currently have. I bought my house before we met, and it's on 0.10 acre, to give you an idea of how small our lot is. We've found an area of unincorporated Pierce County that we like, and we even found a house we like. We're going to go see the inside tonight.
Not that we're in the market to buy a house, but just because we want to see if what we think we could afford (someday) and what we want are on the same page. According to this listing, they are!

When DBF was talking to the listing agent, he called me his "fiancee".
I about fell over, stunned. Then I told him that he needs to warn me first next time.
That led to more conversations about getting married. We've talked & talked & talked about it.
And now we've set a date. A real date. Like a "wow, better get going" date. Except we're doing this whole engagement thing bass ackwards: we're not telling anyone the date until there's been an official ask, and official yes, and the ring on display. In summary, we're getting married but we're not engaged yet.
I like doing things in a non-traditional manner. An official engagement announcement will happen sometime this summer.
BTW, if you're linked to me on Facebook, don't mention this. DBF and I are not telling anyone quite yet. My BYC peeps are the first to know.
