Hi everybody! I'm new here and thought I should say hello.
A little about me: I'm a 46 year old post-op MTF TS (I had SRS in 1992). I share my life with a totally awesome and incredibly talented guy who I am proud to call my husband for the last twelve (nearly thirteen) years. We recently moved from the Midwest to sunny Northern California because my husband just got the dream job he has been working toward for many years.
Moving to CA has been a big goal of ours since we were married. And although I'm very happy to be a new resident of paradise the whole transition - leaving my job, friends, and family behind and starting over here has been proving to be more difficult for me than I anticipated. I've also realized that after 21 years in the IT field it's time for a career change and I'm kind of finding myself a bit lost. After a little soul searching I thought it might do me some good to do something I really haven't done much of - interact with other transgendered people and share a little of what I've learned and maybe learn something new myself.
Anyway hi friends, thanks for having me here!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! So far it looks to me like a great group of folks here. And yeah Tekla, it's been a beautiful day here in Milpitas. My poor parents in Ohio are buried in snow and subzero temps :( ... glad I'm not there now.

I'm north of that, in SF when I'm working for the most part, and Sonoma County the rest of the time.
