Hi all,

I've been a lurker for a couple of weeks but I thought I would register and introduce us! John and I met online almost 2 years ago and have been visiting back and forth from Toronto, Canada to Sacramento, CA since later last year. In June I got a 1-year internship here in California, and made the long drive across the country! I have a 11 year old daughter who is here with me, and he has an 11 year old daughter and a 13 year old son (a house full of tweens/teens!). Last month he proposed and so I've decided to stay. We plan to get married mid-October and have a lawyer who is handling our AOJ paperwork. BUT - I just wouldn't feel comfortable if I didn't fully understand the process, so that's why I've been hanging out here. :star:

We look forward to reading all of your stories!!

Welcome aboard!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

yeah - it's melted in California :D ! Welcome to VJ and be sure to check out the Canada forum.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
