Patrick and Lisa - Our story
IrishGuy65:
I'll also try to post a little more often now that things are settling down from the move and house maintenance.
Robertt S:
Congrats on the new home! Hopefully everything will settle down enough where you can come hang out with us here! :)
Pineau:
Patrick, here are a few to get you started. I have some of you and Lisa too but I was afraid to post them. The glare from you snow white legs could put someones eyes out.
Arnold:
Yes... Congrats on the NEW (used) house Pat. Doing stuff is never done on a house, even a new one. It does make it a "Home" eventually and both of you can look back with pride what was accomplished as a Family. Been there.. done that.. myself.
Thanks for sharing your Story with us!

Gerry, I saw the pictures in another thread. You have to understand I'm of Irish descent. I'm either white, or red. There is no 'tan'. Since red hurts, I prefer to stay white. Plus, it is fun telling Lisa and Amy how dark they are! :)
Robert, I'll be around a little more now.
Arnold, yes, a lot of work, but something to take pride in, now and in the future. The good thing is that we have a plan for the house that we both agree on.
I did forget to mention the homesickness and fighting. I mention them together because we've only yelled at each other one time, and part of it was just her homesickness and my American stubborness and impatience... combined together to form an explosive combination. Fortunately, it was quickly over as neither of us likes to argue or fight. It's good that we normally can talk through things, even if we need to make a lot of use of the 24 hour rule. Neither of us like to yell and scream, nor are either of us emotional fighters... so we get along well and really have a good system in place to work out issues. As I said before, so many little things you overlook in day to day life, that are completely different simply due to our culture and upbringing differences. Once you get over the hump of the many, many tiny little things, you start understanding each other much better and you can get to the point where you are happy together and not discussing some new issues every day. Just living, and enjoying, life together.
