Hi, everyone. I'm from the Deep South, southern Louisiana. Born and raised in Baton Rouge and live with my husband, 4 kids, 2 cats and a hermit crab (thanks to last year's trip to Destin) in New Iberia. We're basically in "Cajun country" as they say. We actually have a bayou, quite beautiful, running right through our town. I believe our downtown was on the top ten best-list for the US recently. Beautiful, but yes, hot as hell this time of year.Dvora, I may need your help. My characters in book two, which I'm writing now, have to get into New York City under Marshall Law. Basically, my characters have to connect with some others living in NYC before an invasion of reapers (demonic creatures come to feed on all humankind) descend on the city. I need an expert to discuss some places in NYC. Would you be open to giving me some advice? Actually, one of my new characters, Miriam, is Jewish. I could use some help there, too. :)
I'm originally from St. Louis, MO. The military took me to TN, CA, NC with time in Japan, Phillipines, Puerto Rico and Australia. I met my husband while stationed in PA and we have stayed there. We are south of Allentown and north of Philadelphia. We have family in MO, IL, MD and FL. Currently my stepson is in Texas for training with the Air Force. He graduated Basic last Friday. My husband works in NY, at JFK.

I was born and raised in Charleston, SC but currently live in Charlotte NC. I have been here about 8 years now. I have 2 girls and my little man. My girls are 11 and 7 and the little man is 2. My girls were so easy and sometimes I wonder what goes through my little man's head. He does and says the funniest things and is so rough compared to my girls.

Everyone keeps telling me that. Can't you be original! HA HA hee hee;)
Originally from Minnesota, now living in the exciting land of Iowa! Ok, maybe not so exciting, but I need to make it sound better than it really is...
Born in Prajedis J Gerrero, Chiguagua Mexico but move to OK City when I was 5 and been here since. Oh and by the way Prajedis is a small town 5 hours east from the El Paso Texas Boarder, Juarez is the closes city, I think. Any way I was blessed with 1 boy (21 and stationed at Ft. Drum NY) and 1 girl (17, started collage this summer) and 4yr old grandbaby gril and another on the way.
Hi Everyone, I'm from Brisbane Australia. I was born in Sydney, then migrated up to the Gold Coast where I met my husband, then moved the hour up the coast. I also have 1 boy aged 3 - I can't believe you have 6 boys Tina - how the hell do you do it!!!
LOL It's been a lot of work, but well worth it. Some days I think I'm a little cooky, but in general I try to laugh as much as possible. Plus I have a great hubby! What's Australia like this time of year? I would love to go there someday.
I can't wrap my head around you having 6 teenagers - you don't look old enough!!! I bet people think you're their older sister!!!It's freezing in Brisbane, which basically means it's 23 degrees celsius, which is about 73 F.
Australia is great - David can vouch for that. But it is a hell of a long way to come from the US. I've been over to the US once a couple of years ago, and loved it. I can't get over how cheap & huge everything is there. I can't wait to go back, but I'm just hoping that they invent a way to get there in half the time!!
Lol. My oldest will be 24 in a couple of months. Still no grandbabies yet. Lol73 degrees sounds nice. It's supposed to get up in the 90's here today. How long does it take to travel to the US?
I won't be on much today, I have my in-laws 50th anniversary party today.
LOL, you're really going to have your hands full when they finally do have kids of their own - but there's nothing better than a big family, especially at Xmas time!!From LAX to Sydney 14.5 hrs. On the way back to Aust, our flight was diverted because of fog, so it ended up being a 20hr flight.

I agree, but i am excited to have lttle grandbabies running around. We had a 50th anniversary party yesterday for my in-laws then my huband and I went out with our two oldest sons. It eas so much fun. The holidays are always so much fun. My favorite time of the year.
Wow thats a long flight..I thought a 3 hour flight was long. LOL
Hi guys! I'm in the States, Florida to be exact. I have been here most of my life but was born in the DC area and still love it there.
Caroline wrote: "Hi guys! I'm in the States, Florida to be exact. I have been here most of my life but was born in the DC area and still love it there."I lived in Florida many moons ago. Did not like it at all. Too hot and humid.
I was born in upstate NY. We moved to NH when I was 5 and basically I grew up there. Loved it there and miss the changing seasons, especially the snow at Christmas. Moved to Maine for a few years, it was okay...but NH was much prettier and the people were friendlier, in my opinion. Moved to TX to be a live-in nanny for a short time...thought I was literally in a western movie...people really do drive pick-up trucks with the gun racks in the window, wear Wrangler jeans two sizes to small and enormous belt buckles. Not for me...that is all I can say. Then I moved to FL and moved from the west coast across Alligator Alley to the east coast where I now live and hopefully will not be moving anytime soon.
