Hello Honey!
Where would you like to live? I would personally choose to stay in FL.
It's so wonderful that we are both teachers. If we were not, we wouldn't have met. I'm ecstatic that we met at a teacher's convention about 8 months ago. What kind of house are you planning for us to live in? And should we have a pet?

Hello Dear
Where would you like to live? I would personally like to stay close to my family. Remember back almost a year ago to the date when we met at that construction site we were both brought to, you for the architecture and me for the interior design? So what kind of house would you like to live in? And what about a pet, do you think we should get one?

I'm fine with living close to your family, but you have to forgive me..I don't remember where they live?
I would like to live in a quite modern home but still a home that we can live in, start a family in, and a house that feels like "us". Do you have any other ideas, dear?
I would love a pet. I'm a dog person, but a cat would be fine too.

My family lives in San Diego so I would love to live somewhere close to them, but it doesn't have to be on the same street or anything.
I'm up for living in a modern home too. You and I are so similar when it comes to our tastes. It will be no problem deisgning our house together!
I'm also more of a dog person, I actually am not really a fan of cats.

Oh San Diego! I've always dreamed of living in California, so that's great!
So a dog then, do you want a male or female? Any name suggestions?

I would like a female dog. I've always liked the cutesy girls names on female dogs, but anything is fine with me.

A female it is then.
I don't really know what you mean by cutesy, but I'll give some suggestions:
Rose
Rosalie
Esme
Mika
Micha / Mischa
Lumi
Belle
Noelle
Noa
Sienna
Virva

Hi! My name is Rembrandt Valentin Goldworthy. People call my Rem or Remy. I have an MBA and I'm currently working for a smaller telecommunication company. It's not what I want to work with in the future but it's a good job and it's a well-paid job. I grew up in the countryside with somewhat hippish parents and three brothers and one sister. I now rent a small house in a town not far from the city where I work. I like the small town life but wouldn't mind moving back to the countryside one day and run my own business. I'm looking into ecological and organical farming right now and think it sounds really interesting.
I like visiting museums, traveling, reading and hiking. My family is very importnat to me. I have reddish brown hair and hazel eyes. I'm quite tall but of average build.
Parents: Joseph Marshall Goldworthy & Mary Louisa Goldworthy [nee Smythe]
Siblings: Michelangelo Marshall "Mick" [30], Jacobin Rousseau "Jake" [24], Sisley Sunshine [20] and Wolfgang Amadeus [20] "Wolf"
Maternal Grandparents: Patrick Jones Smythe and Elisabeth Essmeralda Smythe [nee Winterbottom]
Paternal Grandparents: John Simon Goldworthy and Margaretha Amanda Goldworthy [nee Jensen]

Dear Talia, as for now I'm quite happy to live in a small town and there is plenty of room in the house I'm renting. I want you to move in and maybe we can save up for a bigger house once we are ready for children. I would love for my children to grow up in the countryside and if I can find a good farm where I can run my business of organically and ecologically produced crops I think it is feasible. I know how important family is to you so I wouldn't want to move too far away and I think it is very important that you can continue working as a teacher and engage in cultural activities even if we move to a farm. If you want to be a stay at home mom I'm supportive of that. Tell me dear what do you want?

Oh Remy, that sounds delightful. I would love to live in your town. I think I may want to be a SAHM mom but right now I'm not sure. Do you remember when we met?

Hi Lily, my name is Jasper Robert Nixon. Let's see, where to start... Well, I'm 27 years old, and I've just finished a VERY long degree in archeology, with a special emphasis on - you guessed it, Ancient Egypt! I hope to travel there in the near future to help on a few digs, but there is also a lot of oppurtunites right here in DC for me to use to use my skills. Looks wise, I'm about 6ft 2, and am very athletic. At some point in my life I have probably played almost any sport you could name, but these days the only thing I really have time for is my daily run. I have dark brown hair that has a slight wave to it, and blue-grey eyes. What else... my mother's name is Iris Evelyn Nixon (nee Sullivan), and my dad's name is Robert Oliver Nixon, but everyone calls him Rob. I've got 2 brother's who are 25 yr old identical twins named William Thomas & Garrett Charles, but you can call them Will & Rett. I've also got a little sister who is only 17 named Eloise Paige, or Ellie. My maternal grandparents are Rose Elizabeth (nee Quentin) & Philip John Sullivan, and my paternal grandparents are Penelope Anne (nee Hutchins) & Richard Edward Nixon.
So I think that's everything - anything I've missed, feel free to ask!

Jasper dear, you tell the story of how we met so well, why don't you tell it to me now? Then I'll tell the story of how you proposed, since I know you love how I tell that one. Also, we need to decide if we want to live in the city or a suburb. Personally I think the suburbs on the Maryland side are great, but if you would prefer the city or a Virginia suburb I'm fine with it. And do you want to adopt a pet, honey? I'm a dog or cat person personally.

Well, we met for the fist time just over 2 years ago at the Smithsonian Muesuem, strangely enough in the Anceint Egypt exhibit. I was there to do some research for my thesis on Hatshepsut , and I walked into the room lost in my own world. I rounded a corner, and there you were, just sitting on a bench looking at a display of some hieroglyphics about my subject... You had this look of intense concentration on you face, and you just took my breath away. I probably just stood there and stared at you for about 5 minutes before I could get my feet to move again, and I remember leaning over to look at the hieroglyphics over your shoulder, and when you turned around and I looked into your beautiful jade eyes, I was head over heels. Once my brain started functioning again, I asked you to dinner, and I knew that you would be the woman I would marry by the end of that very day.
You are even more beautiful now than you were then Lily, and you know that I would do anything to keep you happy - so if you would like to live in Maryland, then that would be perfectly fine with me. Hmmm... a pet... well, I think a dog would be great, perhaps a lab?

Labs are my favorite. There's an adorable black lab puppy at the ASPCA shelter nearby. You name her, dearest Jasper.
As for how you proposed, that was on our first anniversary. I knew you were the man I wanted to spend my life with, and I had thought about bringing up the subject of marriage, but for the first time in my life I was too shy (were my friends shocked at that!) On our annniversary you took me to the operea to see La Boheme, my favorite, and then afterwards you danced me along the reflectign pool infront of the capitol in the moonlight, singing the love aria in my ear (you told me later it took you two weeks to learn it). Then we had a moonlight picnic along the pool, and when we were exchanging gifts afterwards one of mine was the most beautiful diamond ring! You dropped down to one knee beside me, and asked me to marry you, and of course I said yes. It was without doubt the most romantic evening of my life.

I was so nervous that night, but then you said yes, and it became the best night of my life.
Hmmm... what to name our adorable new addition... Well, she's a bouncy, enthusiastic little thing, and cheeky to the point of absolute comedy - how about Jester? Jess for short. Or we could always draw inspiration from our shared passion and go with Cleopatra... what do you think Lily? Jester nn Jess, or Cleopatra nn Cleo?

Considering her personality, I think Jester nn Jess fits best!

It was absolutely beautiful. We had the wedding in late May, on a perfect sunny day. We rented a house on the beach for the day, and had the wedding at sunset. We spent the day locked away in different rooms so we wouldn't see one another, getting ready and greeting all the guests who came in. My sister Danielle was my maid of honor, and my best friend Nicole and your sister Ellie were my bridesmaids. Will was your best man, and you graciously allowed Caleb to be a groomsman along with Rett. A family friend of mine, Lise, helped arrange decorations and flowers, and it all looked so beautiful. All of our friends and family were there to share that happiest day of our lives with us. After the wedding, we held the reception on the front lawn of the house. we had a dance floor set up, and we danced away until midnight. Our bridesmaids and groomsmen had a surprise for us for our going-away car--not only the usual toilet-paper-and-shoes treatment, but they had exchanged our car with a Ferrari they had rented for the night! It was a great touch to what was the happiest day of my life.
Now, Jasper my love, you were telling me about a house you had found for us? Where is it, and what's it like?

I loved that Ferrari... Love, one day we are buying one of those!
Hun, you are going to adore the house, here is a picture of it:
Isn't it just perfect for our first home? It's 4 bedroom as well, so plenty of room for us to start a family.
