I'm Tracy my husbands name is John. I grew up in Queens & he grew up in Ireland. Our precious son Patrick will be 3 in July.

We met 7 years ago at a pub in New Hyde Park. We will married a year next month.

What pub did you meet at in NHP? I know a few of them. Just curious.

That's a good thing to hear diamondgrlie. Money isn't that great now, but at least there's something to look forward to. And he gets to retire early. I said I want to work in a Con Ed office as a secretary if it means I can retire earlier too.

I'm an official lurker, I come on here several times a day and never post anything, but I'd like to start posting more.

I'm Meghan, my FH is Chris. I have lived in Merrick for pretty much my entire life. Chris has lived all over the place (Boston, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Vermont, NYC, and now White Plains). We aren't living together yet, but after we get married in August I will move to White Plains where Chris currently lives. We met at Syracuse University in September 2000. I went to Holy Trinity.

I work for a Big Four accounting firm in Manhattan and he works for an itty bitty investment bank doing mergers and acquisitions.

We have an adorable cat name Otto (in honor of Syracuse's mascot).

Re: OK, I'll start the Get To Know You Thread...

My name is Donna and my FH is Jonn (AKA Maiahsdad). We have a beautiful 17mo. old daughter named Maiah.
Jonn was born and raised in LI and moved to Maine about 10 years ago. I've lived here (Maine) my entire life.
We met working together at a local brew-pub where I was a bartender and he was the sous chef. We've been together for 2 1/2 years. (yes, if you do the math, we had our daughter very early in our relationship. ) We live in a 2 bdrm. apartment in a small town called No. Bridgton where we are within walking distance to a beautiful lake. This area of Maine is breathtaking!!! There are mountains all around us and more lakes than you can count (this is the 'Lakes Region')! The only downside is that the nearest major shopping area is more than an hour away.
Jonn is 34 and a Leo. I'm 25 and a Cancer. Maiah is a Sagittarius.
Now, Jonn is employed as a chef at a hotel in No. Conway, NH and I am a stay-at-home mom and a nanny. We've got a Siberian husky named Ashes.
We will be making our family 'complete' when we officially get married this summer!!
