I've always been a bit of an Anglophile; Darren even says I know more about British history than he does!!!

A lot. My whole family is from there, I spent summers there growing up

A limited amount.

you asked for it...

First our story:

A lot!. We met in an Yahoo Game room around, dunno, September 2003. We were regulars there, just like we’re here on VJ, where we started to go there for a reason, but it became a ‘’need’’ to go there after a while because we made friends.

At first I hated him. I guess I hated him for a year, cuz he can be an obnoxious a$$hole when he wants.

After a year we started to talk and became friends. We would talk everyday on MSN, YIM and over the phone. When we realized we were in love, that’s when we started to cover every aspect on being together. We did that for a year and a half. Then here in Brazil he proposed.

After 2 years of being together and over 3 years of knowing each other we got married. The rest you guys know…

Now answering your question:

Wetalked every day online for a long time. We were able to talk about pretty much everything, finances, children, religion, almost everything possible to make sure we were compatible enough to handle a marriage, which is not easy.

Of course there are always some things that we will only know by living together, little things that never came to mind to talk about, like how do you squeeze your toothpaste. He does in the middle, which p!sses me off, so he has his and I have mine. Problem solved.

THat's how I know we will be married forever, because our decision to get married was based on our knowledge that we have what it takes to stay together forever.

I researched allot before going and who wouldn’t if your going to Lebanon. Everything that is ever told to us here in the US is about violence and destruction. I had to research and find the beauty and want a beautiful country it is..

Here's a funny thing... I thought I KNEW that Spanish were the same as Mexican's, right?? wrong!! LOL I have come to find out they are VERY different, even language, is not exactly the same. Spaniards are European and Mexicans have more of a south american influence. I never realized there was much of a difference. I sure am glad to know that difference (namely Marcos)! (wink wink)

Uh hum... Mexico is in NORTH America and actually isn't influenced from South America since it's so far away from the continent. IMHO, Mexico has it's own rich culture, food, Spanish accent, music, art, entertainment - QUITE unique from any other Latin American country.

Muito obrigada brother bora You are wise.
