Hey Ronnie...
When are you moving to Jersey? Did you ever contact the florist I told you about in Jersey City?

We have appointments to look at four apartments in Jersey City. To be honest I didn't contact the florist, I have been so overwhelmed trying to find an aparment and dealing with other little stuff. I still have the information, and I will be contacting them soon. Thanks.

oh okay. Good luck with the apartment search. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Hey bossie welcome back...and congrats on your new niece and she is born the day after my birthday which makes it eveven more special. I am pleased to see you back, I missed calling you bossie :-)Hey there Ms. Jennifer!

Hey Charley!!!...I missed hearing you call me Bossie too. I am really happy to be back. You just don't know, you ladies are my therapy. Thanks for the congrats on my little neice. Yes, she is very special. I love her so much already.

Well, I feel like such a slacker! Not sending out wishes to my sistah girls on their birthday. Charley, Ronnie, and Princess Jen, Very Happy (although belated) Birthdays!

Well here we go... I'm Monique(Niquey) I'm 38, mother of three kings, Mark 19, Maurice 11, and the ruler Gregory 2. I was born in New Orleans, relocated to Bronx, NY by way of Stone Moutain GA, New Carrollton MD, San Diego CA, and Houston TX. God had a plan for me here in the big Apple. I meet my hubby on a blind date, so we fell in love via telephone. I attended Southern University and University of Maryland. I enjoy reading (James Patterson is my fav), cooking, and baking. I own a small bridal boutique, and I have to say that catching up with all of you through the week is better than watching soaps or sitcoms. It's so much fun sharing with everyone here, it's like talking to old friends! A comfort zone.

Hey there Niquey....isn't this site the coolest and most wonderful place to be and everybody is missed if they don't post in a while...hey and the best part about it is there is no gossip or drama here...."nah if we could only get our hair, nails and feet done here it would be absolutely perfect"...lol

True that girl, cause right now, I look a HOT MESS. LOL!

Hey Niquey! Girl I like the way you said you are the mother of three kings, and the way you described little Gregory as the "ruler"! Girl when they are 2 they do rule or atleast try! Thanks for the birthday wishes. I just love getting to know all of the ladies here, this just makes my day!

Hey Ladies...
I'm Marquita, age 22 from Whitehall, Alabama. I am a recent May 05 graduate of University of Alabama at Birmingham and I'm currently working at University Hospital in the Hematology Clinical Lab. Middle child of 3. Getting ready to be married to the only man God has prepared for me and is preparing me for(5/20/06), no babies yet. I enjoy reading, attending gospel concerts,being with my sorority sisters and sleeping. FH and I are are currently in the process of looking for future home/apartment in the Birmingham area.

Alright now Marquita! Congratulations on your recent college graduation. I definitely believe in celebrating our accomplishments! Good luck with the home/apartment looking process.

Taunyana, what a great topic to get started. BTW, happy belated birthday to all the January women.

My name is Trease and I live in Union County, NJ. I'm 28 years old. I have 2 beautiful biological children (son - 9 and daughter - 4)and 1 future step-daughter (age 10). My children are a handful!!! I know I'm not having any more. :-) I met FH when I was 15 and we rekindled in 1998. We had rocky times but FH stayed by my side, holding us together no matter what the situation. I received a wake up call a year and a half ago and realized how much I'm in love with this man and couldn't see my life without him in it. We compliment each other - what I'm not, he is and vice versa. We will be getting married Sept 07. I think I'm falling off topic here - this is supposed to be about me. lol I enjoy dining out, watching movies and playing cards. I am the baby girl of 3. AND I LOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS SITE!!!!

SeptBride, that was about you! What a beautiful love story. I am a true romantic at heart. I love that lovy dovy stuff. Congratulations!

Wow this great! I feel like I'm getting to know you ladies. And, I'm so excited to see another member that attended the same college as me, UAB. I'm jumping up and down in my chair! LOL!! Marquita01, what sorority are you in? Hopefully it's the same one as me. Anyway, my name is Stephanie. 25 years old, living in Houston and attending chiropractic school. My big day is 8/26/2006, and my FH is finally home from overseas to help with the plans. I love naps. It's funny how you hate to go to sleep when you're a kid, but can't wait when you're older.

I know that's right Hampton_S! It's amazing also that you can have something in common with the ladies here at ViBride. For example I am overjoyed that there are quite a few January birthdays!

So true Ronnie...I found out that Septbride and I live about 10 minutes from each other. Her FH is from the same town where I live. Talk about close.

Wow, it's just amazing!

Welcome DaQueen! Another January Birthday -- awesome! You will truly come to "know" some truly amazing sisters on this site. Congratulations on your wedding and all the best in your planning!

Hello Everyone! My name is Norrine. I live in Baltimore, MD. I am 34. I have three sons: 14, 11 and 5. I currently live with my FH and my FD. We have been engaged for a year (Christmas Day 2005). My FH and I had set a date in July 2006 but we decided that we will not be financially ready by then. We are going to get married in 2007. I have received so many bridal magazines and sometimes find it overwhelming sometimes trying to make decisions about invitations, thank you notes, gifts for bridal participates. But I am also enjoying it as well. Because my favorite color is purple, I have been searching for a simple purple gown to get married in. Well, I hope this gives you a glimpse into me. Happy Birthday to all the January babies! My birthday is next month!
