Re: Getting to know you!!
1. How did your parents come up with your name? Are you named after anyone?
Originally, my mom wanted to name me Tierney after Gene Tierney, but my dad said no, so they agreed on Melanie (Gone with the Wind) I'm trying to convince DH on Tierney for a DD someday!
2. How did you meet your dh/partner?
We met in the Air Force just after basic training. He's out now, but I'm still serving
3. What was the best date you and s/o have ever been on?
Probably our first, in San Antonio, TX on the riverwalk. We walked after dinner and up a bridge overlooking the river and kissed for the first time. (while a bagpiper was playing 'Amazing Grace' in the background!) IT was amazing!
4. What's the most romantic thing your s/o has ever done for you?
He does alot, but I love when he thinks to draw me a bubble bath after a hard day at work.
5. How many brothers/sisters do you have and are you close?
2 brothers and 1 sister. I'm extrememly close to my oldest brother and his wife. I look at them as my role models on how to raise children, their kids are amazing!
6. Where do you live?
I'm stationed in Oklahoma, but my heart belongs to Texas
7. How long have you been with your s/o?
Met 4 1/2 yrs ago, married for 2 yrs.
8. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Hopefully back in Texas with my DH (and 3 kids) running my own bakery
9. What is your favorite movie?
Tossup between 'The Notebook', 'The Wizard of Oz' and 'Gone with the Wind'
10. Why do you want to have a child/another child?
It's like I was born to be a mother, I have a natural way with kids and see no better joy there could be in life than raising another person.
11. Do you have names picked out for your future kiddos? If so what are they?
Yes, DH and I both like Logan and Hayden for boys and McKenzie, Taryn, and Tierney for girls
12. Any kiddos/furbabies? If so tell us about them.
2. Sydney and Domino. I like to think of it as practice in parenting, they definitely test our patience!

Re: Getting to know you!!
Oh oh me first!
1. How did your parents come up with your name? Are you named after anyone? My mom saw the play Camelot when she was PG with me. They called Gweniviere Jenny in the play and she liked it, but didn't like Jennifer. So they decided on just Jenny.
2. How did you meet your dh/partner? We met while playing EverQuest, an online game.
3. What was the best date you and s/o have ever been on? The last time he was here, we took my kids out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant. With him being from eastern Canada, he'd never had real Mexican food, other than Taco Bell...and here I am in Southern California... It was a very nice experience for him. And we lived close enough to the place that we walked. The weather was perfect for a nighttime walk, even if it wasn't the romantic stroll on the beach I'd wanted :p
4. What's the most romantic thing your s/o has ever done for you? He sent me flowers on Mother's Day and included the most romantic poem ever (that he wrote).
5. How many brothers/sisters do you have and are you close? I have 2 older sisters. I always got along better with one than with the other, but now we're very close.
6. Where do you live? Currently San Diego, CA, but hoping to be Markham, Ontario, Canada soon.
7. How long have you been with your s/o? It will be 1 year on June 28th. We're hoping we can get married that day.
8. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Married and in Canada. We'll own our own home. I'll be a software engineer or a teacher (haven't decided what to be when I grow up hehe). We'll have at least a total of 4 children, possibly more.
9. What is your favorite movie? Hands down....Annie. The original one.
10. Why do you want to have a child/another child? I love children, I love being pregnant. Being a mother has been the best experience I've ever had in this life. Holding a newborn that is completely reliant on you for everything is an awe inspiring feeling. Then watching them grow and learn and explore. Even now when they talk back and argue, you still watch them learn how to use logic and reason. I'm so proud of my children and can't wait to start over.
11. Do you have names picked out for your future kiddos? If so what are they? Oh yeah. Andrew and I picked named out before we'd even met in person. Emily Elizabeth for a girl (Elizabeth is his mother's name), and Tristan for a boy, but we're iffy on the middle name. I think we settled on Nathaniel.
12. Any kiddos/furbabies? If so tell us about them.Furbabies are easier, I'll start there. Gracie and Moose are our cats. Moose is about 3 months old, and Gracie is around 2 years. Gracie is all black and Moose is an orange tabby. We also have 2 pocketpets - Furball and Dimples the Hampsters.
My daughter, Tamberly Danelle is 12 years old. She's going into the 7th grade, draws anime and plays the flute. Her room is messy, but she's always immaculately groomed. She's just starting to wear make up, talk on the phone all day and obsess about who likes who and what to wear to school the next day.
Michael Ryan is my son. He'll be 11 in September. On September 11th even. He likes Star Wars and Monty Python. He loves video games, sometimes at the expense of his school work. He's a very sensitive boy and very much a momma's boy. He's very tall, already just over 5 feet. He looks like his father, but has my eyes and freckles.

Re: Getting to know you!!
1. How did your parents come up with your name? Are you named after anyone?
My mom originally wanted to name me Bethann, but my dad didn't like the name. My middle name, Renee had been the middle name in my the family for at least three generations before me (my dad, my grandpa, my great-grandma). While looking through a baby name book, my mom once saw Renee meant "warrior", I've since found about three different meanings for my name Anyway, she wanted a name that sounded good w/ Renee, but also had a meaning that went well with "warrior", so she decided on Kristen Renee, meaning "Christian warrior" and she said she always believed I'd have the strength to fight for what I believe in 
2. How did you meet your dh/partner?
We met through friends who thought we'd be great together... one glitch: we were both seeing other people. After a year of being friends, we decided to date and the rest is history.
3. What was the best date you and s/o have ever been on?
When we went to Kennywood park, a local amusement park, for Fourth of July celebrations. We both love roller coasters and sitting by the water after we had ridden rides all day and watching fireworks was awesome!
4. What's the most romantic thing your s/o has ever done for you?
This will sound silly, but the dishes! He has done them a few times for me when I've been either tired or busy, without my even having to ask.
5. How many brothers/sisters do you have and are you close?
I have two brothers, one sister. I am the youngest by a large margin, so I didn't really grow up with any of them. Unfortunately I'm only close to one of my brothers, the other brother moved across the country and hasn't contacted any of our family members in years. My sister and I talk occasionally, but are not close.
6. Where do you live?
In Pennsylvania, currently
7. How long have you been with your s/o?
Married for nearly six, together for nearly seven
8. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
As a SAHM with a house full of kids. I'd like to eventually have my own home based event planning business, but I don't know if I'll be there in 10 or a little longer than that.
9. What is your favorite movie?
"Gone With The Wind", but I love sooo many others!
10. Why do you want to have a child/another child?
When I was little I used to tell everyone I wanted to be a mommy when I grew up (I also wanted to be a lawyer, ballerina and veterinarian at the same time, but I digress) and that is still true. I was a nanny for a long time and would love to have my own little one. Everytime I hold my new little nephew, I melt and pray for a little blessing of my own. Okay, am getting teary typing this... moving on!
11. Do you have names picked out for your future kiddos? If so what are they?
We do, but aren't telling anyone until the little one(s) actually arrive. 
12. Any kiddos/furbabies? If so tell us about them.
One furbaby, an 18mo old Shepherd mix we rescued in March of this year. She's a sweetheart and a very loving dog and is great with kids. She's never had an "accident" in the house since we got her, she's such a good dog, I love having her!

Re: Getting to know you!!
1. How did your parents come up with your name? Are you named after anyone?
I think Jennifer was the only girl name my dad liked so that was it.
2. How did you meet your dh/partner?
We went to the same HS but he was a few years older than me. We also worked at the same resturant but he quit soon after I started there. Then he started coming back and hanging out there and we started hanging out. The rest is history.
3. What was the best date you and s/o have ever been on?
This is a tough one. He once rented a room in a bed and breakfast and we went to a really neat restaurant.
4. What's the most romantic thing your s/o has ever done for you?
Not sure on this one. He is not terribly romantic. Oh when he proposed he tied the ring on a big pink ribbon around a black lab puppy's neck.
5. How many brothers/sisters do you have and are you close?
I have one of each. My sister and I are becoming closer as we get older. My brother is 13 years younger than me so I am as close as you can be to a 16 year old.
6. Where do you live?
I live in RI (get my screenname) I really like living in New England.
7. How long have you been with your s/o?
together 10 years, married 5.5 years
8. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
In a larger home with two more babies and a stable teaching job.
9. What is your favorite movie?
I like the Princess Bride and The Big Labowski
10. Why do you want to have a child/another child?
Emma is 1.5 and I think about 2 years is a good space between. I also would like a spring baby next time so that is why we are going to start trying next cycle.
11. Do you have names picked out for your future kiddos? If so what are they?
Nothing carved in stone yet. We like Benjamin, Olivia, Reece, and I really like Katerine (Katie for short). I am not very good at picking out boy names.
12. Any kiddos/furbabies? If so tell us about them.
We have a 6 year old black lab (Bailey) she will be 7 on the first of July. We have a cat named Bitty (Bitty the Kitty) she is maybe 3 or 4. We had a yellow lab named Harley but he wasn't really good with Emma so he lives at my parents house now.

Re: Getting to know you!!
1. How did your parents come up with your name? Are you named after anyone?
Not named after anyone, my mom just liked my name.
2. How did you meet your dh/partner? He was my boss!
3. What was the best date you and s/o have ever been on? When we first started dating, we were looking for something to do late but everything was closed, so we went down to the old part of town by the port and walked around. He was trying so hard to get up the nerve to hold my hand! There was a group of girls from Russian running around giggling and pointing at us, I think they knew we were on a date.
4. What's the most romantic thing your s/o has ever done for you? I like seafood but DH doesn't. For my birthday one year, DH took me crabbing at a crab and wine festival. He was responsible for refilling the feeding part of the crab pot with frozen rotten fish. The poor guy got sooo sick over the side of the boat! But he said he was still happy to do it because it was my birthday!
5. How many brothers/sisters do you have and are you close? I have 3 brothers, I only talk to one of them frequently.
6. Where do you live? Recent transplant to Ohio.
7. How long have you been with your s/o? 8 years 1 month and 2 days, lol!
8. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? With kids, but I don't know how many. Finally living some place permanently.
9. What is your favorite movie? A single favorite would be too hard. But lately I've been dying to watch Love Actually again.
10. Why do you want to have a child/another child? No kiddos right now. I just want a chance to see a child discover the world. And to share the experience with my DH.
11. Do you have names picked out for your future kiddos? If so what are they? We pick out names all the time but they change. For a boy we're pretty set on Robert Patrick and Jack Everett. For a girl we're sort of set on Haper Louise. Someone brought up Teagan before and I like that one. In general I like androgynous/untraditional names for girls and traditional names for boys.
12. Any kiddos/furbabies? If so tell us about them. I have 3 crazy and 1 . I have one cat that can be aggressive so we will have a behaviorist come to the house when a baby is coming. My dog is awesome, tho!

Re: Getting to know you!!
1. How did your parents come up with your name? Are you named after anyone?
My parents decided on Angela Marie after my two grandmother's but I was born in an emergency two months early and when I was born my dad said he wanted to name me Kerry. Spelled that way. My mother in her drugged up state told him if he could find it in a book spelled that way for a female she would agree, not thinking he would. Well he did and I became Kerry Maureen. I am 4th generation Irish american (can you tell)
2. How did you meet your dh/partner?
We actually met online. I was wanting to join the military and he talked to me about it. We became good friends, went through 3 of his deployments together then I couldn't join the military and he said 'hey if you wanted to go on a date or something I'm here' I said 'no thanks' LOL. He said that was cool and if I changed my mind just to let him know. 3 years later when I went to Italy for 6 months and we were pretty much unable to comunicate that whole time I couldn't stop thinking about him. My life wasn't the same. That's when I knew and we went out on our first date about 6 months later. and we got married pretty much 1 year to the day of our first date.
3. What was the best date you and s/o have ever been on?
Hmm. That's a hard one. We actually only had a few dates since we were over 1200 miles apart from each other most of the time we dated. When we were together we had to juggle around his visits with his family.
4. What's the most romantic thing your s/o has ever done for you?
Killing a scorpion that was 7 inches from my head? No just joking. He took me out to dinner for Military Spouses Appreciation Day. He'd had a horrible day and wasn't feeling well but when he came home he said get spiffed up we are celebrating your first military spouses appreciation day.
5. How many brothers/sisters do you have and are you close?
1 brother. He's 3 years older than me and graduated HS when I was a freshman. He left for college the next year and graduated college when I graduated HS. I went to college in a different state. So no where not really close. We actually only call each other about 3 times a year.
6. Where do you live?
Hot as Hades, Texas
7. How long have you been with your s/o?
Married for 6.5 months. Hooyah!
8. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Oh heck I don't know. Being a military spouse who knows were we will be physically. I hope to have two kids and maybe getting around to starting a freelance graphic design business (if they both are in school by then). If they aren't then I will hopefully still be a sahm.
9. What is your favorite movie?
Anything with Tom Hanks.
10. Why do you want to have a child/another child?
No comment. Sorry. That's private information.
11. Do you have names picked out for your future kiddos? If so what are they?
Sure do. LOL we actually knew before we got married. For a girl Mackenzie Grace. For a boy Jacob Ryan. Since we want two kids we also thought about Alexander James and no clue on a second girls name. I came up with Mackenzie Grace and he liked it right away. It took us longer to come up with a boys name.
12. Any kiddos/furbabies? If so tell us about them.
3 cats. He rescued a kitten (Indy) about the time I got my cat (Daisy). Then about 4 months later he decided to get another cat to keep Indy company eventhough I hinted that having 3 cats might make it hard to find an apartment or rental house. I've learned that hinting to him doesn't work so well. So we have ah hem 2 cats, their names are Indy, Daisy and Chip
That's my life story and I'm sticking to it.
