Introduction Poll

Since I'm new to the area, and semi-new to the board I thought it would be nice to have an introduction poll, so here it goes:
  1. When were you married?
  2. Do you have any children? If so, how many and how old?
  3. If no kids yet, is it in the plans soon?
  4. Have you always lived in St. Louis?
  5. How long have you lived in St. Louis?
  6. What's your big project right now?
