I just thought I&#39;d pop-in with that. It&#39;s fun getting to know y&#39;all better.  <br /><img src="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm44/deb1220/619669gu295nvfa5-1.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br />There is nothing wrong in waiting.  I for one was 21 when I got married and 22 when I had my first child.  Dh was 26 when our first arrived.<br />It used to be women weren&#39;t suppose to tell their age.  Different times.  I believe everyone should be proud of who they are and not be ashamed to say it. <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/thumbup.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbup:" border="0" alt="thumbup.gif" /> <br />I am glad you pop-in and yes it is fun getting to know you guys, too. <br />I still think we need to do that cruise with the group Chicago. <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
