I've already been posting on the forums for a week or two, and never took the time to introduce myself! So, here I am! My name is Julie, and my fiancee is Matt. We live in Coopersburg, PA. On my birthday I went to a flea market, where I saw turtles for sale. Growing up I always thought turtles were soooo cute, and wanted one, but my mother never allowed me to get them because she said they carry disease. So when I saw one, and since I dont live with my mother, I bought it! They gave it to me in a nice little aquarium and I thought "Aww, it's so small, it'll be easy to take care of!" boy was I wrong! If I would have known how much expense and work went into it, I probably would have never bought it. But now that I have it, I'm taking full responsibilty for my actions! I really want the turtle, even though I have been -so- frustrated with how much money I've spent. But i've already grown attached and I want to do a really good job taking care of it. So I have been! Well, this is my overdue hello. And I just want to say thank you to all of the people that have responded to my many questions already.
It's really nice to meet you all!
-Julie
