I have a confession...I sometimes forget stuff!
Anyway, somewhere in my feeble brain I recalled one of my cruises started a "Let's introduce ourselves to each other" string. Low and behold, it's this one! I found em, and enjoyed rereading them. They mean more now that we "know" each other. So I cut and pasted them to Word. Thought I would revive them here!
They get long, so I will do a few today. If I get positive feedback, I'll add a few more every day or so.
Here are the first few. Thanks Kathy for the original idea!

"I thought it might be nice for everyone to kind of introduce themself and maybe say what their hobbies or interests are.
I am a stay at home mom. I love to travel, cross stitch, buy and look for antiques, decorate, cook, and spend time with my family. My husband is very involved with what used to be known as Indian Guides and Indian Princesses. His big hobby is anything related to time and watches. He has had several articles published and has been asked to speak on this topic around the world. He works as an exec. in a small pharmaceutical company. Our son is going to be 10 on Thursday and he loves electronics, cars, lights, and loves to take things apart and put things back together. My daughter is 7 1/2 and is very athletic, loves to draw and read, swim, and other typical girlie things.
Let's hear about you and your family!

Nice idea kpgclark!
I was a stay-at-home mom for 10 years, but now am back to work 3 days a week as a speech-language pathologist at a local public school. Pre-kids I worked with 6th, 7th, & 8th graders in a low income area and I LOVED it! Now, I'm close to home and work mostly with preschool students who have been diagnosed with autism. These little ones have captured my heart! I love reading, weight training to tone, not to build muscle (though have not done this routinely for quite a while), anything Disney, and spending time with my dh and kids. Also love the beach and the mountains.
My dh of almost 22 years is an engineer for the Boeing Company. His baby is the C-17. You should see this baby fly! Dh had a thrill ride on this one time Charleston, SC and it was a memory of a lifetime! He's a loving, participatory dad and husband, and I'm lucky to have him as my husband. He loves reading, swimming, boogie boarding, scuba diving, and now Disney!
Our children are our greatest joys and blessings!!! Ds is age 13 and a goof-ball, but a cool goof-ball, LOL! He likes to get those expensive tennis shoes for Christmas and his bday, go figure. Often, he has to pitch in his own $ to make this purchase. He is a good basketball player, an excellent writer though he would not tell you this or to his friends, LOVES his friends & electronic games, and loves to watch movies.
Dd age 9 is a loving and sociable young girl. She is compassionate and has many friends. She loves dancing, singing, playing hand ball, her friends, Lizzie McGuire, making things (especially tents in our family room with dining room chairs), and she is an animal lover, especially loving dolphins.
Well, that is some stuff about our family!
Take care!

EMMASGRAMMY (NOTE I included this one to remind us of Emma, Sophie, and all the family)
I really like this idea of getting to know each other alittle.
My DH and I have been married 27 years (in a row!!!) He works for a wireless phone company (can you hear me now?). We are the proud parents of 3 lovely daughters ages 26, 24, and 22 and grandparents of the smartest and prettiest granddaughter in the whole wide world, Emma. (What?? Me?? Brag!?!? NOOOO!!)
I have owned my own daycare service for the past 20 years. I have had the privilege to have shared in the care of 196 children over the years. I love my job!!! I also have spent the last 8 years working weekends as a banquet server. I love that job too!! I'm kinda a "people person".
We don't have many hobbies ('cause we are always working!!) but we love watching our granddaughter grow up, and we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our second granddaughter any day now!!! We are season ticket holders for our beloved Pittsburgh Steelers. And we are planning another wedding. This time for DD #2 who will be married May 14th, 2005. (The same day the Magic sets sail for CA!!)
Oh and by the way...in case you hadn't figured it out... We are Disney Freaks too!!!!"
Thats it for today. If you want more, let me know!

I know none of us will ever forget "Emmasgrammy".
