Lurker, finally dropping in to say "hey"

Hi there! I've been lurking for a while, and finally got around to actually saying "hey". My OH (Other Half) and I live in Ferndale, MI, with our 4 kids, and a houseful of animals (furred, finned, and scaled alike). The kids are aged 19-7, 2 are hers by birth, 2 mine. We're a happily blended family. She was formerly married (came out in her 30's) and mine are the product of a turkey baster and a straight friend with a good sense of humor. (That's not a joke, and yes, there is a story to that). Hope to get to know you all better, and look forward to participating in the discussions. (Due to an ex who likes to stalk me online, I'll just call myself.....)

Thanks all, for the warm welcome! Last night, we added the last of our creatures to the household-- finally brought home my cat, Puck, whom my mother has been cat-sitting for me for the last 6 months. So now there's 2 dogs, 2 cats, a guinea pig, a bearded dragon (lizard) a crested gecko (lizard) 2 aquatic frogs, and a horned frog. I think I got everyone! lol! I hope to get to know you all better in the near furture.

Hello! My name is Mandi and my partner is Brandi. We have 2 wonderdul kiddos...Jasmine is 7 1/2 months (self inseminated) and Jeremy is 6 (old fashioned way). We have been together we'll just say almost 6 years but "married" almost 4. We also have a Schnauzer mix name Romeo and a Betta that has just been renamed from Airplane to Grandpa (my dad just passed away and my son is dealing his way). Quick question...did you really use a turkey baster? I used a medicine syringe. How long did it take you and did you do it yourself? Just wondering. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy our craziness!
