He even proposed over there (2yrs ago today actually). Glad to have found you & looking forward to following along in your journey. :)Dancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08445867726231270634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238321208492720330.post-57293281353694022232011-02-17T10:14:42.994-08:002011-02-17T10:14:42.994-08:00Congrats on your FTLOB feature!!

Nice meeting you! I can relate somewhat...Hi Lesley,<br />Nice meeting you! I can relate somewhat to what you are going through.<br />I "dated" my husband via e-mail, ICQ, snail mail, and occasionally got to meet him when he was on a business trip to London, Helsinki, and Paris. I was in Sweden and he was in California.<br /><br /> After a couple of years we decided to get married in San Francisco. Even though I had been an exchange student in CA, and dated my husband 10 years earlier (long story, but we met again many years later), I was still nervous.<br /><br />You'll love Ireland, even though I never been there, but we have may Irish friends after living in Spain and Wales. They Irish are wonderful people..<br /><br />Jo in Texas (after several moves to different countries)johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707911947488175098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238321208492720330.post-88520541219822618132011-02-16T15:46:24.460-08:002011-02-16T15:46:24.460-08:00@Jodi--Thanks for stopping by!!

A year and a half ago I moved to St. Louis with J after spending a year in California with my family. <br /><br />I didn't know another soul and although it was hard at first (and sometimes still is) things have gotten a lot better and I've even made some friends!<br /><br />One thing I would recommend is to be honest about the times when you are homesick and miss your family and friends. It really helped me to share those feelings with J and feel like someone else is helping to carry my load :)KT @ KT's Refinishing Schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853398720912097572noreply@blogger.com
