I was mostly a lurker on my previous account, which I lost track of, and had to start a new one, so I never really did an intro, and I know you're supposed to do one.
So:
Hi. I'm Penguin. I'm 24, H is 31, we just got married on September 15th. It was a DIY beach wedding, with a horribly flubbed ceremony, but awesome reception. Aside from stressing myself out trying to do everything myself, I got a lot of compliments for being a laid-back bride. My dress was a red Bill Levkoff bridesmaid dress. We took a cruise to Mexico for our honeymoon. He'd never been on a cruise, and wanted a relaxing vacation.
We have 6 furbabies, 4 dogs and 2 cats, and a snake, so I guess that makes 7, but I only tolerate the snake. One of my puppies lives with my parents still, because he's a Houdini and our neighborhood is not safe for loose dogs. All of our pets are rescues, and not spoiled at all....
No children yet, we're waiting until we're on more solid financial footing and his credit repair is sorted out (long story there). But I have PCOS, so we're not waiting too much longer, since we don't know how long it'll take. Ideally we want 1 of each, and we're open to adoption. He really, really wants a daughter.
I love penguins (duh), love to read, I make up silly dances when people are sad, my favorite TV shows are NCIS, old Law and Order SVU, House, we turned our spare room into a library. I have a degree in Criminal Justice, and I'm about to go into the Navy, he's a software programmer. We go to Renaissance festivals, I work with the jousters taking care of their horses.
Any questions? I know I'm already married, but I never really liked the Nest very much, and I'd like to stay and play.
