Hahaha - it's not like I have a husband to keep me occupied yet! Especially when he gets called into work early

YAY!!! Oh that will be wonderful! Have they been to the US before? You must be so excited Mum is still looking at trying to come out in August but the flights alone are over £600!!

YAY!! I was going to have cuddles with Jeremy tonight (that is, reading "together" in bed while on the phone) but he got called into work - grrr Everyone here is sick as well - sneezing, coughing, sore throats... yuck

I am just finally getting better after a solid week of illness. Griff had it too. UGH! It was awful. Thankfully, the kids have been unscathed by it thus far.

All it takes is one person to come into the office whilst sick and it spreads like wildfire. The lesson: Stay away from the sickos peeps!

im making my debut here since adriano will arrive tomorrow!!!!!

whatup everyone???

we gotta wait 5 more years before we can start to think about a baby we want one, but i want to get my phd even more...im just starting my studies this summer, so it will be 5 more years before i complete the degree...then time to get a job, and even BEGIN to think about having a kid *sigh*

in a year from now i will be married and living in indiana (lord save my brooklyn heart ), one year into grad school, and developing a master's thesis...i will be working as a teacher's and research assistant, hopefully researching some nifty things that will allow me to travel a bit and work my bilingual talents...adriano will hopefully be working in his field (construction), for a union somewhere not too far from our apartment...we will hopefully be thinking about purchasing a home at that time, even if we will only live there 4 more years and hit the road when i graduate...we can always rent it out to some college kids lol...i will also have a car a year from now, which will be a definite change of pace...but first i gotta get through tomorrow!!!

Haha - I think I gave it to everyone in my office but I couldn't afford to take time off Sucks but man I really need the money right now... I am so skint...

whatup everyone???

Yay!! You must be soooo excited!!! PhD in what? I always fancied doing a PhD but tbh I just can't be bothered nor can I afford it - we are going to need the both of us working full time and that as well as school would just be too much - we'd never see each other and I want to have my children before I am 30 I can always go back later in life although I can't see me wanting a career that would require me to have a PhD so I think we will just save the money

Hooray! You made it!! Welcome to the next phase! Not long now and you'll have your man by your side!!!

Let us know how it all goes with POE/settling in/wedding/AOS etc!! I can add you to the AOS spreadsheet then! And don't forget to pm any K-1 updates as well - I need to go through again and update I think!!!

[StillThePrettiest 4]

wow, as usual some great news in this thread! it's so much fun to come in and see all the happiness; does the heart good

special congrats to Chris (and Gretchen!), and teachme; REALLY great news for both you guys

I've just spent a week in Yorkshire (snow!) with my good friend, her husband, and their two kids, but before I went I booked my flights! depart the UK on April 28 (arrive Australia April 30; egad ); Dave arrives Australia May 11, and we both fly out May 25 (POE: LAX)

it's all becoming very very real...

plans after that - no kids, thank you very much

it's funny; I love kids; I've always enjoyed teaching, especially the younger ones; I work for my friend looking after her two on at least three days a week, and love that too - but have never wanted any of my own

plus, I'll be 36 in July; unless we wanted to start straight away - and we want to get used to the whole living in the same country thing; it will be such a novelty - I'd be pushing 40 before giving birth, and while I know some people cope with that fine, I'm just glad it's not a decision I have to make

Dave's going to finish his degree though! he's all enrolled, with only a small amount of - reminding

he did a year at Rutgers, before rebelling and joining the navy, and is EASILY smart enough to do very well, so I'm very excited about that for him

at first it should be pretty easy to fit it in around work, and by the time he may need to work part time for a year, to fit everything in, I should be earning, so we THINK it will all work out fine

Ohhhhh StP!! That is awesome news!!! *notices pms but runs off to update spreadsheet anyway*

Did I miss where babbles' POE was?

I am extremely excited!! Adriano called me at 4 am to let me know that he made it to Milan, and he now is flying over the Atlantic Ocean as we speak!!

I am getting my PhD in Cognitive Psychology, not many prople know what that is so: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_psychology. I will be doing research, specifically, in the area of psycholinguistics. People always ask me what the hell that is, so here is another one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psycholinguistics. I could not afford it either, but luckily I will be working as a Teacher's / Research Assistant, so they have waived my tuition (would have been $35,000 per year) and they are paying me to work for the school. It is a pretty sweet deal, and the only way that I would possibly be able to pursue such a thing. I will get my degree when I am 28 and we will probably end up having children when I am about 30 or so.

Congrats StP!!! How exciting that your plans are made! I suppose this means we won't be hearing much from you once you're back in Oz?

As for babbles, her POE was Chicago, IL - O'Hare International
