LD,

Yes, our situations do sound similar. I never got the intense pressure to have children that you describe, but clearly (since that's one of the things she now says got us to where we are) she wanted them.

I want to thank you for your advice as well, I do appreciate it. We just got a lot of snow here, and I am planning on taking the dogs out to run. They love the snow!

I am going to check out your thread, mostly to see if I can take anything from it but also in case I can add something. I don't know if I'll be able to, but I will try!
