I've decided to stop lurking....again :)
Hey girls 
My name is Sarah (23) and my finace's name is Jamie (32). We signed up about a year and a half ago and posted a couple times, but then I just kept lurking. Well, I feel like I know you all very well with reading everyday, and I have decided to come out of the closet 
and introduce myself once more! J and I have been together 2 years this Sunday, and have been engaged since Christmas day of 07. We have 2 beautiful little girls named Makenzie and Alexandra (Kenzie-5, Allie-3). They are mine biologically, however Jamie loves them and takes care of them as if they were her own The girls love her more than words explain and having J in my life completes our family. She makes us whole We have not set a date for our wedding yet, since we are not sure if we want a big elaborate wedding, or just a small destination wedding with the two of us. J would get married tomorrow if we could, as would I, but I'm thinking I want a big wedding We will see. Her family is very supportive of us, but unfortunately some of mine is not. Like my mother. But that is another post in itself lol. We are full time students right now working towards becoming nurses. We love spending time with each other and our girls, and can't wait to add another lil addition to our family. I look forward to speaking with all of you and becoming apart of this nestie family! You are all so sweet and nice, and like I said, I've lurked so long I feel like I know you all already I love reading your posts and being able to relate completely. I also love the fact that you all love your wives/fiances/etc more than anything in this world and are not afraid to announce it to the world!! That is how I feel about J and it feels good to have a place to come to that has the same feelings as me. But, anyway, enough rambling lol, I just wanted to introduce us and let you all know that I can't wait to speak to everyone and get involved some more!!

Married my best friend 5*15*2008 Trying to start our family 8*2011
unmedicated iui#3= bfp 10/20/11! beta#1=11, beta#2=85, beta#3=741,beta#4=1000,beta#5=2146,beta#6=7454 *please keep doubling*
Thanks you guys! I can't wait to get to know you all better too
*TheSongAllAlong* I just wanted to say that I really admire you for being by Tess's side through all of her medical problems. I keep you both in my prayers all the time because I know how tough it has been. I have read your blogs and you both amaze me with how much love and compassion and patience you both have for each other! You have a beautiful family and I really look up to you both.
Thank you for the welcome!
Awww!!! Make those some "feel good tears" because really, you are an amazing woman who truly loves Tess. There are not many people in this world that would be able to stick around with the situation you both are in. If J ever got sick or something happend to her, I would stick by her side with no questions asked. I love her more than life itself, and it's awesome to see someone else do the same.
If you ever need to talk, I'd be more than happy to listen! I understand being a mess of emotions lol. I've had my fair share of days like that!!
I don't blog, however, I am really considering it. I'm extremely busy, but I think it would feel good to take a minute out of the day to put some feelings down on "paper" lol. So, I think this will be a plan of mine to start blogging in the near future
You really are too kind. I'm really glad you decided to stop lurking, sounds like we will all have lots to talk about. So glad you and J have so much love for eachother! We will definitly have to talk sometime, when you get that blog up and running make sure you let me know, i would love to read it!
Thank you everyone!!
Yeah, I think we will all have a lot in common. I will for sure let you know when I get the blog all up and running lol
I have a question....how do I post a picture at the end of my post? I can't figure it out *help*!! Thank you!
Welcome!! To post a pic go to my profile --> edit profile --> then in the part that is for signature put the follow:
<img width=200 src="IMAGEURL">
Plug in your own URL and adjust the size by adjusting the # shown (200).
welcome!
if you're using your own pics and use photobucket to host, all you have to do is choose the IMG code link under the picture and paste that where two*true said. the site even copies the link automatically when you click on it (other sites may have the same thing, i just use photobucket so that's what i know). if you upload the photo as "medium" (or resize it) that's usually perfect for signatures. it's super easy and i have my default upload size set to that so i never have to think about it. if you use a different site, two*true's method is great.
