Wedding Date: Nov. 2, 2002
Honeymoon: We went to South Africa and Zimbawee

I am currently 19 weeks and 2 days pregnant. Our baby is due on 11/29/03. We do not know if it is a or . I normally work in NYC, but due to a compressed nerve problem (aka baby) I now work from home because the 2 hour commute each way is too much and very painful.

I have a cat named Beemer. She is not that independant, just feed me once a day type cat at all. She is a very baby-like cat who needs lots and lots of attention. But I adore her.
There is a photo in my profile along with wedding vendor info.

How we met: he started talking to me in AOL chatroom and we discovered that:
a) his brother is married to my college classmate
b) we live 6 blocks away from each other

After we went out the first time we descovered that:
c) He once went out with my sister (6 years ago) and even though they didn't click the remained friends for a long while and he actually once came over to our old appartment and saw me as i was leaving for a date! ( i remembered it once he told me)
d) i was a ***** to him that day and barely said 'hello' ( I DON'T remember that part, but it's possible cause i think I was running late)
e) my sister and him have a whole lot of friends in common

the rest is history!

We currently live: In Rego Park, Queens where we are renting an appartment

We will not try TTC till next year, even though DH wanted to start right after the wedding.

I don't follow any sport, he follows most of it. Our favorite food is sushi. We have no pets.

This is us:

Re: Getting to know each other- facts and photos

I don't know much about the private practices in LI. I'm sure there must be more all women groups. I work at Westchester Medical Center so I mostly know the groups in that area. I'd be happy to answer basic questions on the parenting board, I just couldn't answer anything specific. I wouldn't feel comfotable without knowing more history.

Oh, I'm a Mets fan too. I was born in Flushing, I couldn't be anything else.

Re: Getting to know each other- facts and photos

Anya, that is a great story!! Thanks for sharing.

I think I have a mixed marriage too- my DH is a Republican and I am a Democrat We always hope that the other forgets to vote on election days or else we just end up cancelling each other out. Does that count???

Meg 09/20/03: What HS did you go to? I went to Ward Melville. And I thought it was funny b/c we both grew up in Three Village, both got married in Sept. (one year earlier for us), and both work in pharmaceutical business. Just thought -- what a coincidence.

Yabbobay: You are the only other person I have heard talk about the Canary Islands. We do hope to get there one day! I would also love to go to the Greek Isles as well. So many places, so little time!

kmc: Yes, we LOVED Newport. We saw the Cliffside Inn -- so pretty!! We toured the mansions, did the Cliff Walk, so many things! We love it and want to go back. It was last minute so we wound up staying across from the beach at The Newport Inn. It was nice -- no honeymoon suite or anything but it didn't matter.

Re: Getting to know each other- facts and photos

If we are talking politics, I am also in a mixed marriage.
Him ~ Republican
Me ~ Democrat (I'm not registered as one, I just agree with them most of the time )

Usually, when we vote we cancel each other out!
