Hi, My name is Maggie. I've come across this site months ago and finally got the courage to introduce myself. My marriage is in July 2007. The whole process seems to be so overwelming. I'm so thankful I've found you all. Makes the journey seem more managable. I look forward to getting to know everyone and making some great friends.
