    we talk all day everyday, but we know very little about each other! So, I thought it would be nice if we told about ourselves (other than that we are obsessed with wedding :) ) I'll start!:

    I live in Kalispell, MT (born and raised!)
    I have an ALMOST 2 year old son (will be 2 in February)
    I work at a bank teller while I go to school for surgical technology
    I love to be outside, 4-wheeling, hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, but I love to watch movies, do puzzles, read, scrapbook also!

    What about you?

    MissAsB    June 6, 2009   Married in CO, Living in AL

    I live in Huntsville, AL, used to live in Colorado Springs, CO, and was raised in a little town you've never heard of in NJ.

    I am a full time grad student trying to find a job next year.

    I haven't been able to a lot of the things I really love lately (horseback riding, ice skating, sewing) because of health problems and little money.

    I live in Chicago, IL, born and raised in Ohio, though.

    I work with the government, and hope to go to law school starting 2011.

    I enjoy being crafty, but have been super busy with wedding stuff that I'm stressed out all the time.

    I have a kitten named Blaze who I am in love with!

    @Rosie Girl: Thanks.  Hopefully the money will be better when I get a job.  I want lasic surgery too but we for sure can't do it until I'm working.

    Yeah, it will help once you get a job! I'm nervous because we have been thinking about buying a house, but I can't work next year because of school, so I'm already stressing!!!

    hcritton    09/06/09   Seattle, WA

    I live near Seattle, WA. I've lived in WA most of my life.

    I manage a contracted department for a major cell phone provider and I also go to school for Health Information Technology and Medical Coding.

    I have a wonderful hubby and 2 dogs. I like camping, fishing, hiking, dirtbiking, scrapbooking, arts and crafts, photography, reading, traveling, and writing. I sing really loudly in my car and I probably could eat Mexican food every day and never get tired of it. That's it!

    gabrielleelise1981    August 28, 2010   Portland, Maine

    I live in Portland, Maine, though I grew up on the west coast

    I work as a corporate paralegal (contracts) for a telecom company, and also make dollhouse scale miniature food items which I sell on Etsy.

    I have one (spoiled) cat who comes when she is called and I like indoor activities like reading, crafting, writing, cooking, etc. Except for crafts, I am pretty unhandy.

    Random fun fact about me and FH: We have a geeky evening routine. I cook dinner and he reads books out loud. We’ve gotten through over 40 books (including the entire Harry Potter series!) in the past year and a half or so!

    KMSull    August 7, 2010   Lexington, KY (via Atlanta, GA)

    Born in Louisville, moved to Atlanta when I was 4, moved back to Lexington for school.

    No pets, but hopefully that will change soon!

    Thanks to a useless degree and the economy, I work at a bookstore. I have my own department, but it's a largely unfufilling job.

    Waiting seems to be the name of the game for me right now Wink Have to wait for my pet rock, have to wait to see where Mr. KM gets into grad school, have to wait til I'm actually engaged to start putting Dad's money down on stuff, but that can't happen til we find out about school.

    I um, love WB...

    I'm currently in the process of learning to be crafty. My first project was Christmas garland, and my second will be my Christmas cards! Also, I'm getting a cricut and a sewing machine for Christmas, so that'll help!

    bluespurrs    August 7, 2009   South-central PA, USA, Earth

    I live in South-central PA, literally in the middle of nowhere. Nearest neighbor is over 1/2 mile away and I like it!

    My only child died unexpectedly 8 years ago and I run a cat sanctuary as a living memorial to her.

    I am a biologist and college professor.

    This is my third marriage and the absolute best!

    These are just sort of random things about me. Lol.

     

    I'm 6'3" (pfft, y'all knew that)

    I went to MIT, even though now I'm an art hippie.

    Played basketball at MIT, but hurt my back and had to stop forever. :(

    I've played the violin since I was 6, played professionally since I was 11. Was hired to play at a private party for Jimmy Carter, and he gave me a hug.

    I'm terrified of wet bread and wet paper.

    I'm an only child.

    I am ADHD and have Bipolar II.

    @gabrielleelise1981 - lol - we read books to each other too, on road trips. He was reading Lipstick Jungle to me last weekend on our way to Quebec City, and tricked me by adding sentences to make the story more ridiculous because he thought it was so awful, lol... :)

    I am 27. We live in New Brunswick, Canada with our 2 cats Apollo and Adrian (named after characters from Rocky). I was born and raised in Nova Scotia, by the sea, but hate seafood. I met my husband while working in Ottawa.

    By day I work in government HR, in the same building as my husband, so we walk to work together.

    By night, I like to cross stitch, watch Coronation Street, read and obsessively clean closets and storage spaces (I hate clutter). I can't cook worth beans, but I make a mean grilled cheese sandwich and Kraft Dinner. I've also kept a journal since I was 10.

    I was born in Forks, WA went to school at WSU across the state and am now living just outside of Portland, OR.  I am a "wet" coast girl all the way because I love the rain and the ocean and the outdoors.

    I work as a research editor at a fair housing consulting firm and my fiance works as a lab assistant at a plant research company.  I hate to say that I hate my job and as soon as the wedding is over I want to find something -- anything -- else!

    We have an orange tabby named Brickie that we got for my birthday.  We rescued him and will rescue more pets as soon as we move into a house and out of our apartment.

    The FI and I are planning the wedding completely together.  Or as my sister says I am the wedding "planner" and he is the wedding "doer."  :p

    We have two kitties named Liza and Maude.

    @hotchild: Yeah maybe it's kind of dorky but it's sort of relaxing because it gives you something to do with your hands when you are watching TV or something.

    Uh oh I just heard a thump on the roof, wonder if a branch fell down or something.

    allisonc    October 9, 2010   Boston, MA, wedding in Middletown, CT

    I'm a cross stitcher too! That's what all my girlfriends are getting for Christmas, cross stitched Christmas pictures...if I can finish in time.

    Other stuff:

    I live outside of Boston and work in the city as a project manager at a cancer hospital. The "project" is a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma research/outcomes study that turns 10 years old this summer!

    Fiance lives in NYC, but is looking for a job here. We've been together nearly 5 years and never lived in the same state. The distance is really starting to get us down :( hopefully something will work out soon.

    I have two pet birds, a boy cockatiel named Lily (ha ha) and a boy parakeet named Charlie Brown.

    In addition to cross stitching I like knitting, sewing, baking, kayaking and doing just about anything outside. I used to be a runner, but shin splits have me totally sidelined :P I also love going to the library - all those books for freeeeeeeeee. FUN.
