Well - let's see, I'm 32, we live in Groton, CT at the moment, my husband is active duty Navy and is getting ready to switch from subs to surface.  He has two children from his first marriage, Christian, 15 and Chaise 12, who live out of state with thier mother.  We cannot have children together, and I'm having a little bit of a hard time dealing with that fact coupled with the lack of time we get with his children.  I'd love to hear from anyone with any words of wisdom if any of this sounds similar to your situation.  Looking forward to making new friends!
