I just realized it's been about a year since I joined Laura's. In that time I have definitely made some progress. I look back at my posts and sometimes I seem like I was a broken record, so I'm sorry for babbling on and on about some things. I thank the people on Laura's for the hope and encouragement they have given me. Since last February my wife has become more supportive of me. In September I was able to dress completely in front of her for the first time. My youngest daughter (3) saw me and didn't care one way or the other. And just yesterday I was able to go out en femme for a long ride in the car with my wife for the first time. I decided that I'm going to try to work up courage and get my ears done at some point during 2011.

My wife hasn't called me by my femme name yet, but she does occasionally call me princess which I think is pretty cute!

That's wonderful news, Sienna. It's wonderful that your wife has been so supportive and that makes a big difference.

Hey Sienna....Sounds like you are moving forward and it is great to hear how awesome you wife is. My two kids started seeing me present as a girl for around a year, maybe a year and a half. They were 6 and 4 at the time and neither one of them batted an eye either. All they wanted was my attention which I give them all the time.

My wife started calling me by my femme name right away. She mostly did it at first because she wanted to see how serious I was and if I would back down once it got real. HAHA

I also want to get my ears done but not sure how to go about that in regards to work.

Look forward to your next update.

Excellent Sienna ! your wife's acceptance really makes all the difference. My wife is mildly accepting, and my daughters just laugh, or sometimes give me snipes finding me dressed at home. However there is much love in our home.

Like yourself, I also plan on having my ears done this year. My wife and daughters are both recommending I go to tattoo / piercing shop and have the ear piercing done by someone experienced. They recommended I stay away from the gun piercing methods that may be used at some places.

Nice to hear your wife is accepting. Mine is also, so far. My GT thinks that she will be a great asset in my change an I agree.

Just go do your ears. I had my left pierced for years and then just went to the mall and bamm, two seconds the right was done. People ask and I just tell them I wants them both pierced.

No one cares

      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.

      Good morning coffees   This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me.  I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that.   upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night.  They woke me up.  They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity.   @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss?  I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way.  If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday.   @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better.     Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more.  I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish.  But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood.     well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work.    willow

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

      They’re not going to stop anytime soon either. Tighten your belts folks were in for a long ride.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie
