Hi Everyone! My name is Josie and I am a career woman. My son is 21 and in the Marines. I never thought I would ever be TTC again until I remarried last year. My DH is the love of my life. I am 38 and he is 40. He has never had children and this something we want to do together. Our own little family!

I love to read, I love to eat and I love good movies but I couldn't live without God in my life!

I am a Southern Bell living in Boston!

Love Italian food (my DH is an awesome chef)

Favorite Books are the Bible and the Sookie Stackhouse Stories AKA True Blood

Fav shows True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, American Horror Story and Ancient Aliens.

Would love to go to Egypt and just explore the entire Near East (in peace times of course)

My husband is my BFF and my biggest achievement was learning to depend on the Lord and learning how to be alone and be ok with it!

Baby dust to all! ( At work and Boss just caught me!) OOps!!!
