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.

I'm a stay at home Mom & John is in interior/exterior construction.

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.

Hennessey's on Jericho Tpke.

Hi my name is Leah and my FH is Joe. We currently live in Massapequa Park. We are parents to 2 loving dogs, Yashin, (yes we are huge Islander fans) and Brittany. At the moment we have four pups because Brittany had puppies. I am originally from the midwest and relatively new to this area. (So, if anyone knows some good happy hour places around here let me know). We have been together for 3 years, and living together for the past year. FH works for Verizon, and I am currently finishing up my degree in Elemantary Ed(Iowa and NY have very different requirements) so I'm trying to catch up, I also work as a nanny.

That's so funny. I had met FH a couple times when we were around 15, 16 b/c he was my friend's cousin. But when I was 20, and we hung out again, we met up at Hennessey's. But we kissed at a different bar that night. His brother goes there a lot.

Hi, my name is Jennifer, DH's name is Gavin. We've been married for 6 months & together for 8 years this August. We currently live in Coram, were DH works, I work in Patchogue. I have lived all over Suffolk, though most of my childhood I lived in Lindenhurst. DH was an army brat, born on LI but moved at age 6 to upstate then to Illinois then Montana then back to Illinois. In 1996 he came to stay at his Aunt's house in Bayport for the summer, I was living at my Aunt's house in Bayport & we both ended up working at King Kullen, fell in love, & he never left LI again. He was 19, I was just 18, & we moved in together within 2 months(his parents wanted him to come home so he was no longer allowed to live w/ his aunt). It was a long, hard road to were we are today, but its been the most worthwild journey of our lifes!
