I was born in Astoria but grew up in Patchogue, where I'm still living. DH lives on the Yonkers border in the Bronx, but there is a situation with the house and I can't move in with him yet. Long story involving construction and allergies. So.... we're still living apart and it's a definite strain, but we're hanging in there. We're both looking forward to being together soon. From there we're going to look for a house probably in the Northport area.

We're not TTC, and I'm not sure I ever want children....

I have an 11 year old Pomeranian named Tasha. She's my little sweetie!

My hobbies are counted cross stitch, reading, gardening and cooking. DH and I like to spend QT cuddling and catching up on things, since we don't get nearly enough time together.

Karen, my husband is also a NYPD sergeant. He just took the LT's exam and hopefully will be promoted within the year.

Re: Getting to know each other- facts and photos

christine...we go to the newbie beach to surf...its really hard to get up...when I do...I am so psyched...I don't know if that is zen...lol

its really not too scary...although a tough workout...and I have gotten bonked a few times (foam boards...but still hurts)

if you come to SD again...I'll tell you where to go...

Re: Getting to know each other- facts and photos

I could see where it would be difficult to stand up - I've been watching Surf Girls If I ever did stand up I would probably get really excited too and then I would get bonked

I'll let you know when we plan a trip to SD.
