I'm 24 and live with my husband and our 2 dogs. We met when we were 18 (him) and 19 (me) and have been inseperable since. We've been together for 5 years this September. We were told we could not have children after nearly two years of trying and just before my birthday last year, we got our positive. I almost fainted. I cried. I screamed. It was a day I never want to forget.
Hubby (Adam) also have 2 dogs that we adopted from the NSPCA. Mickey who is now 6, and we've had for 3 years, is a long hair chihuahua and my little boy. lol. Our newest addition was Codex, a terrier/chow mix, who is also 6, and we've had for 1 year. He's such a wuss and is intimidated by Mickey. He's my snuggle butt.
Adam and I are both homebodies. Neither of us care to hardly ever go out, and we hate having to shop for ourselves, because it means leaving the house. I guess with a little one that's something we'll just have to get over.
