At the moment we are apartment dwellers, but I have the house itch really bad. Alas, that will have to wait for a few more years as we save some money.

We are still on the fence about whether or not to have children, so we'll see what happens after we have a house. We're definitely not ready right now for another person to take care of.

I sing as well and run a Children's Choir. David is in a band and also writes original music. He recently was on the radio doing a Dylan show on Nassau Community College's radio station.

We both like to bike, and golf (although he's better than me!) and just spend some quiet time together.
