Getting to know us....

My first post-yay! I wanted to start this blog because very soon I'm going to be going through a lot of life changes, and I want to keep everyone updated on how it is going. To start, my name is Jaime, I'm 24 years old and living in Toledo, Ohio...for now. I am engaged to the most beautiful and wonderful woman in the world. Her name is Leigh, she's 26, and has the cutest dimples. I call her my wife because here in Ohio, there is no gay marriage, but after 3 years of being together, and engaged for almost as long, I consider us to be married. I don't need a piece of paper to tell me I'm going to love her forever.

We have a bunch of pets that we consider our kids. A puppy named Darth Vader who is a 1 year old pit bull/lab/beagle mix. 3 cats named Tiger (24 pounds), Ringo Starr (25 pounds), and Gizmo. A bearded dragon lizard named Eragon, a baby guinea pig named Padme, and 3 toads-it's a full house!

 I love doing crafts, mainly crocheting and hand painting items. I have a store: www.facebook.com/heartforyourhome. I came by this because I needed something to do with my spare time. I picked up a hook and yarn, and taught myself how to make things. A friend of mine had a beautiful daughter on 2/25/11 named Megyn, and named me godmother. This sent me into crochet over-drive, I wanted to make her every cute thing in the world.

We are planning on TTC (Trying To Conceive) starting in January. We have a friend that is willing to donate to help us, and we are extremely excited. Since I was young I have only ever wanted to be a mommy. Others wanted to be a doctor, a fireman, a lawyer...I wanted to be a mom and have tons of little kids running around. I am hoping this will be an easy process, but I am sure it won't be lol

So basically this blog is just to document whats going on, and keep our family and extended family updated on our life. :)
