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.

Finance
DH Occupation - Federal Security Manager
Age: Me - 26; DH - 30.

Wedding Date: Oct.4th, 2003 in Fiesole, Italy (a small town in Tuscany)
Honeymoon: Italy and Switzerland

DH and I have been together for 5 years, and it gets better all the time. We have lived together for the past 3 and just recently (well a little under a year ago) got a kitty!
She's our baby!
We both grew up in differnt parts of NJ.
I don't love working in finance, but it will do.
DH used to work in finance as well, as a trader, but after being laid off - decided to step away and try something different.

We eventually want to move out to Italy for a year or 2 before having kids to experience the life his family did and both become fluent in the language. Who knows....maybe we'll stay there forever

Right now, our main focus is saving enough money to be able to live out that dream.

Our wedding was an absolute dream come true!!!!!!!!

Our wedding will air on Discovery Health this coming November 10th on Buff Brides. I worked out with a trainer for 4 months to get in shape for my wedding. It worked! I lost 17.5 lbs. and 10 inches. Yipppeee!!!

I still work out with a trainer. It's a lot of $$, but well worth it.

Hope to buy a house in Queens some day. WE love it here.

let's see what else?

we moved to manhattan in august from alexandria, va. we both moved down there to get our master's and hated living there so we came back here with no jobs and two weeks before the wedding. talk about stress! but all is good now. we hope to buy a house in 2-3 years somewhere on the island. i can't wait to have a dog, preferably a cocker spaniel. kids... ummm.....no thanks. we'll see about that. i've already got 3 nieces/nephews and another coming in may so i'm not sure i need any more kids in my life.

anyway, i hate my job, but it's there for now. someday i'd like to work in an archives at a university or museum. i love handling and preserving old documents.

guess that's it for now!
