lol! Me neither! But looks good. I think we can post up to three "dates".

My husband and I met and started dating in July 1996. :)


message 609: by Berit (new)

Berit | 641 comments Perfect, perfect, perfect! Love the dates :-) 1996, what are year, that's so funnymy first son was born,TJ got married, Sandra met her husband, and you moved in with your husband to be. That means we probably all around the same age.I wish you all happily ever after. I married my husband in 2000 and after our first two children were born, and we were divorced a year ago. It still is a happily ever after because we have a really really amazing divorce. We are really good friends just weren't really good at being married ;-)

Glad you feel like that about your divorce, Berit! You hear so many stories about divorce-struggles...

Mine will be 9 (son Yannick) and 6 (daughter Annika) in March (the 3rd and the 23rd).

message 633: by Berit (new)

Berit | 641 comments Ladies, it is time for us to vote on the Mistry date! We are in second place right now, don't think we can catch up to first, or that third-place can catch up to us. But let's all support our team and vote for our mystery date ;-) Sandra is the only one I saw A voting post for, she voted for post 16! I think we did such an amazing job, and should be proud of ourselves, and it was a lot of fun!

message 637: by Elsbeth (new)

Elsbeth (elsbethgm) | 1152 comments That's what I did, too; strategic voting! ;)


message 638: by Berit (new)

Berit | 641 comments It's funny how this will work, everyone on the team should vote for whomever the first person voted for. That really is the only thing that makes any sense :-) I think both are Entries were equally fantastic!

Marie Claude (mariecg2001) | 1030 comments Congrats everybody :)

And for those who inquired about my son, he is now in good hands and medication in place, he should be better soon. Thank you very much for your thoughts, well wishes and good words. We know the road will be long and that he might fall again in the future, but I think he's beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel...
