6 lbs, or so. I can't remember!!! Hee hee.

Actually they are both cuties! The baby of course is a sweetheart, but Les and Tanya are both really cute. And Les can SING!!! And play drums and piano. What more could you want. Who am I kidding my guy does all that and more!!!

Are you planning anything soon? We've got two (see pic) and that's enough for me.

I'm SO GLAD you didn't marry that guy! It doesn't sound like you would've been to happy with him! Your guy now sounds awesome!

I remember when my parents tried to throw me a surprise birthday party. I was 12. I knew weeks in advance! I guess we're just really intuitive and feel these things comin', ya know? I bet your b/f plans for a while before he asks you...not just at the drop of a hat. I'm sure it will be SO special! (Not like the football game dodo brain!) I can't wait to hear how he asks you!

You deserve to be happy Jules! I truly hope your current man deserves you--you're very special!

I never believed anyone when they said "You'll know". I was living in Vermont, dating a guy who lived in NJ (he has a ski house in VT) when I met my husband.

He (Wade) was friends with my sis (they met skydiving) and I met him at her wedding. (She had met her husband, Fabio (I am NOT kidding) thru skydiving, too, he is a pilot, she was a jumper). So any way, we had a connection at the wedding (Nov 98) but we were both dating other people. We exchanged e-mails and wrote back and forth for several months. Then started chatting on the phone. My sis loved him to death and actually planted the idea of getting together with him in my head, calling him her bro-in-law before we had even got together.

So, finally when Spring '99 arrived, NJ and I were still dating and decided to try skydiving as long as my sis and bro-in-law both worked at the drop zone. The night before we were to go, I had decided to end things with him (they were fizilling out anyway...ski season was over..lol) and get to know Wade better. (He was going to be at the drop zone the next day...I was more excited to see him than go skydiving!) So, me and NJ talked things over, peacefully ended the relationship, and still went to go jump the next day. On the way there, we were in seperate cars (cause he was headed back to NJ after) and I totally rear-ended him. An accident, I swear!! I was off dreaming about Wade and didn't notice a stop sign and plowed into him! What a way to end things!

Well, it ended up being to windy to jump that day, so NJ went on his way and Wade and I talked (face to face for the first time since my sis's wedding) for about 8 hours straight that night. When I looked into his eyes, I KNEW!

I did end up getting to skydive 2 weeks later with Wade, my sis and bro-in-law by my side (I have jumped 4 times total). Wade and I have been together since the day NJ left! We did the long distance thing for a year, never being able to spend more than 2 days together at a time (what tourture!), but never going a day without talking on the phone.

After falling head over heels, I had decided to move to MA to live with him.

Three weeks before I moved, we spent a week in Maine. It was the longest period of time we had ever spent with each other. Our first night there, he got down on one knee, at sunset, at a picture-perfect lighthouse/ocean setting and proposed. My offical answer was "Holy sh*t, oh my gosh....YES" He took me by comlete surprise! He had gone to my parents two months before to ask for their blessing...how cute is that! We were engaged July 2000 and got married Oct 6, 2001.

And by the way...I told my parents a week into the dating, that he was the one I would marry (of course my sis predicted it before we even started dating), we said I love you 2 weeks in, and the rest is history!

Sorry for the long winded account, but I love to share it. Isn't love great?

I've got one for you then...

We met in highschool and I couldn't stand him as he was one of those geeky guys who always asked questions that confused the rest of us.

Anyway, we were both going to a Christmas party in our senior year and I didn't have a car so I asked for a ride. We chatted all evening and he drove me home. He escorted me into the house and asked ever so politely if he could kiss me. Of course I said yes. It was more like a brush on the lips but nice. He said he'd call.

Well, the next day we went out of town to my Grandma's for Christmas (this was Christmas Eve) and we didn't come back till New Year's day! I guess he called every day while we were gone. We finally hooked up on New Year's Day and went out for our first date on January 2nd 1989.

We knew we were meant for each by February and were already planning on moving in together when we graduated high school. Yeah did I mention we met Senior year in Highschool? I was 17 and he was 16.

Anyway, June we moved into an apartment (just after he turned 17) and lived together for four years. We were engaged on Valentine's Day 1990. We got married May 1993 and have been in happy wedded bliss ever since then. He was just 21 when we married and I am six months older than him. Now we have been married 10 years and have two kids and have moved four times. Wow. A lot can happen in 10 years!

It was a good idea at the time but I'm not sure I'd want my daughter doing that. For all of you following our Christian thread, no we weren't Christians then. That came much later.

Thanks for listening.

I am a lucky girl. My love brought me home flowers yesterday morning (he is a paramedic and works 24 hour shifts) and woke me up with them. I guess he is a rare breed!

My husband won't buy me flowers bacuase I complain they just die. I hate to have him spend the money on something that will die. I guess he should just get creative now. Actually he is more romantic than I am. I probable don't appreciate as much as I should and now he doesn't really try.

I spent some time with my dad today. We hardly do much together, just the two of us and I really miss that because he's the best man I know and we laugh alot when we are together. I offered to take him to a doctor's appt and he said, "Sure." I love that guy!
BTW, this was a great idea, Jules!!!

Today was my final day for my pre-tech anatomy class and I pulled an A out the course! Yay!!
It is a big confidence booster for me, since I'll be taking the real course Spring Semester.

That's so great that spending time with your dad was the best thing that happened to you today. My parents (mom and stepdad) are my friends. I'm really close with my family, and make it a point to talk nearly every day and get over to their house on the weekends.
