@mtn.alice: I can hear my mom's voice telling me "Alice it's not 'me and Thaddeus' it's 'Thaddeus and I!'l😂 ugh sorry mom How we chose my engagement ring! Normalize doing the engagement process however the heck you want to as a couple :) So even though I had seen photos of the ring, the first time I saw it in person was when he proposed and it still blew me away :) I still haven't seen my wedding band in person!!! But I have seen Thad's :) This year was so hard at times and having this to look forward to during the spring and summer was really comforting. This was my first actual run since the Rut! I've done a couple run/hikes but I've been waiting for my knee to stop nagging me after I banged it up during the 28k. So happy to be back running!
