Awesome! :thumbs: Aw, and I bet your daughter is going to love having little brothers and/or sisters. :luv:

I've said to Alex I'll give him until I'm 30, and then we're trying for a baby no matter what. :P

Also, I had another look at your photos and your tattoos really are amazing - I thought your sleeve was part of your top! I obviously needed to wear my glasses. ;)

Aww thanks Rachel...yeah I usually just get compliments on them which is pretty surprising cause i live in a rather close minded town. I think because of the fact they are colorful and non scary and that I have the blonde hair blue eyed girl next door look that all helps ;) Gareth may have another thing coming though heehee....his tattoos are all done in black and gray and he has full leg and arm sleeves done! Told him to get ready for the stares!

I turn 30 this next month hence the reason I am in a rush to get a baby here! Gabby just turned 6 yesterday so she is already at the very least going to be 7 years older! I am hoping to get pregnant for the new year ;) Any other VJ'ers wanna join me on the mama journey? haha.....

After being apart from him for nearly a year, it won't take much convincing for him to agree to your demands...... :blush: Did I just say that? I think Gareth will do just fine, I'm sure you know that lots of interesting things go on in those small close mined towns.

And So It Begins......

Hey guys, I'm trying to keep up with you but you're posting so many messages, I can hardly keep track! :lol:

It's so neat to see all those approvals happening! Congratulations to all the lucky ones! And loads of courage and patience for all the others (including myself here ;) ) for the wait which gets shorter everyday! Hurray! Way to go CSC! :dancing:

Sharing our stories, what a great idea! Here's ours.

I was participating in a forum and one day there's this guy who joins in the conversation. Shortly after, we started e-mailing and then one day he suggested we talk through Netmeeting. I was pretty nervous but just had to do it. Through e-mails, we had discovered having so many things in common that I just had to know him more. Our relationship started as a friendship which turned into a deep friendship as I could talk with him about everything and he could too. It was amazing the openness between us (and make no mistake, this openness is still there. It's simply amazing, never thought I would ever meet someone like that even as a friend).

About six months later, he told me he had fallen in love. I felt sad 'cause I wasn't and told him so but that if he was ok with it, we could remain good friends. He agreed and we kept on e-mailing and talking. He never once tried to force his love on me and was very respectful of my feelings. Now that I look back on it, I know I was already in love with him too, just wasn't seeing it or being ready to admit it to myself. Took me I don't know exactly how long but I'd guess about six months or so until I finally realized I was in love too.

About three years after we started e-mailing, we finally had a chance to meet in person. I travelled to the US and when we met, it was as thought we had been together all of our life, not a single ackward moment. I truly feel blessed to have him in my life. He's very respectful of me and of others and just by the way he is, the way he reacts to things and to people, he has helped me to grow tremendously. We are now in the visa process and I can hardly wait to be with my love for good. He is the sweetest and most loving man I've ever known.

We can't wait to have kids! We are probably going to wait a little bit longer than you, though...we want to give ourselves at least a year after he moves here so that we can adjust to our own relationship before we have kids...but neither of us really thinks we'll make it a full year because we both really want them. We have the big wedding in May'09, so we have to wait at least until then! :)

First of all, there are some really great people who post on this thread. If there is one benefit to being a CSC filer it is that we have the time to truely get to know each other and become compadres in this process. I'm glad you are posting here as well.

Your story is a beautiful one and reminds me of what my mom used to say: we don't find love, love finds us. It sounds like love found you and your man when it was the right time to do so. I know you two will build a beautiful life together. I love this stuff, who's got another story....

As everybody is sharing story, this is my turn now :).

Richard and I we met online, on the Second Life game.

I was there for some months, I spending my time there as a fashion designer and also as a DJ.

As a DJ, I was streaming music on a club place and saying silly things on the mic to make peeps laughing.

It was funny.

And a day, this guy sent me a message as I was DJing. I don't saw it, I had too many message.

When I finally saw it, he was offline.

Some days after he sent me a long message as I was offline. It touched me 'cause, I was acting like someone funny, silly and really happy when I was djing, but wasn't. And he knew it. It's what he wrote to me.

So I answered him... we started to be great friend, chatting every days, mailing every days and as it was not enough we started to talk at phone.

He was in Europe for work, he was in London, and a day joking or not I told him, your so close, why you don't come to have a coffee with me.

2 days after he came!!! for 2 hours that we spent in a bar near my work. It was just wonderful.

Before he comes, i knew that something big was happening.

And as we met in person, we felt in love. He came back the day after to stay the weekend with me... a magical weekend.

The rest is history :)

We are probably going to wait several years before to have children. Probably at least 3. I would love to have kids very soon, but we are going to have many things to deal with before that happens. And, after all these years apart, we should spend some time only the two of us. And he's not ready anyway :P

I did bring her the other day to see where I work though and it totally freaked her out as too many people...she kept saying "Stranger Danger" LOL boy oh boy what this world has come to that we have to be afraid of all we don't know huh?

And yes I WANT A TOUCH and APPROVAL too! UGH the waiting just plain SUCKS and that is all I can say about that!
