SWO Brides/Wives Get Together ~ GTKY

[Ellipse22]

Another thread of Getting To Know You for the SWO Brides/Wives Get Together.

 

(I hope you don't mind that I've added "Wives" because I'm no longer a "Bride" and most of us will be married by February)

 

Children! Do you have any? How many do you plan on having?

 

I have 2 children from a previous relationship. Brandon is 10 and Kayla will be 7 on the 14th. I also have 2 step-children. Justin will be 9 on the 13th and Karson is 7 1/2.

 

Brandon & Justin are in grade 4 and Kayla & Karson are in grade 2. We have no plans to have anymore children of our own. We plan to adopt a child in 2-5 years.

Wow...that's a whole lot going on!! Glad you will get to see more of Jeff's kids when you move though! That will be great for him & the kids!

 

Nope...no kids (just Killick our dog!)

We will not be having kids right away. But within 5 years. And probably just the one.

Im on the fence about kids - Im a bit self-centered. Probably will end up having kids, but the thought freaks me out right now.

If I could afford children and trips that would be amazing. I don't know which I want more. To travel europe or kids...AHHHH!

[BachataBride]

FI brought up buying a piece of property in Mexico or somewhere in the Caribbean yesterday. We were also talking about in 3-5 years we'll have the ability to spend 1 week a month down there. But he also reminded me we can't do that with kids. That would be so incredible, but I don't think I can picture my life without having a child. Decisions, decisions.

Oh we've been on the fence about kids vs. early retirement and cottage! But in reality we'll probably start trying after the wedding. Ill be 31 and he'll be 34, so its time for us to grow up a bit. We arent getting any younger!
