Hey! My name is Neysia. I'm 24-years old, soon to be 25, which is kinda-sorta freaking me out a little bit. I'm not married, nor am I getting married anytime soon. I'm single and waiting for someone to come around! :laugh:
I work as a substitute teacher for mainly junior high and high school in my hometown; occasionally, I work at the elementary schools. I am also a server in my spare time. Currently working at a grocery/deli as well, but gave my 2-weeks notice yesterday. I'm looking for a better job. I'm currently enrolled in a program through Region 4 in Houston, TX. I'm getting my teacher's certification that way -- ALL online classes -- and I will be done January 31st -- then it's time for the exit exam.

Jessica -- are you enjoying Texas so far? :bigsmile:

Hi, I'm Danielle. I am officially 20.5 years old today! 6 more months until I turn that big 21!! :bigsmile: I am a junior at LSU, majoring in public relations and minoring in business administration and French. I love French culture. I studied in France this summer, and I want a French/Parisian-themed wedding. ... when I get the man of course. :laugh:

courtney_love2001

Hi! I'm Courtney and I'm 23. Currently a 2nd year medical student at the University of Kentucky. I am single and have a furry kid named Marley (see profile for a pic!). I don't have much free time, so my social life is in the gutter right now :laugh:

I live for holidays...weekends mean nothing to me anymore because I am always studying. Yay Christmas break!!!

TCASMEY

I am a 46 year old mom to 3. My oldest is 11, my middle child 10 and the youngest 8. I run a licensed home daycare. I have a degree in Elementary Education but have spent most of my career in early childhood education in one form or another. I love quilting but seldom find time for it right now. I used to use daycare nap time for quilting but now I use it to exercise. I like what I do for a living but sometimes you crave adult conversation during the day.

Hi, my name is Audrey and I am 43 yrs old, married, and live in Hawaii. I moved here more than 4 years ago from Vienna, Virginia, and I love it here! No children but my husband has a young teenage daughter who lives with her mother in Missouri. We have 2 dogs and a parrot. If it weren't for my husband I seriously think I would be an animal hoarder. However, I am a science editor for a fisheries science center on Oahu. We live 1/2 mile from the beach but that doesn't mean I go there all the time, especially when you have a household to run, a husband, and animals that need my attention. I work out to a variety of DVDs and run with a very energetic Australian Shepherd/Border collie mix named Kiko (as seen in my pic although he is now more than a year old--his name means "spotted" in Hawaiian).

Hi All! I am married with 2 boys. Ages 15 and 6. I know, I know big age difference lol. I was divorced at 23 and remarried at 26. I just turned 32 last week and am a paraprofessional at a middle school in Kansas. Hoping to get my teaching degree as soon as I get brave enough to go back to school. I was diagnoed with high bp and high cholesterol about 8 mo. ago. I not only need to lose weight to look and feel better but I plan on being here for my kids and hubby for many years to come. I cannot do that if I continue down the road I've been on all these years. Hoping to make a positive change in my life, I will gladly offer support to anyone needing a lift! Good luck to all!

I'm Amanda (Mande, for short), I'm 29 (30 in May!), and I currently reside in Las Vegas, Nevada (though I'm originally from California). I'm married (6 years in February) with no kids yet -- but hopefully will be starting on that in another 12-18 months. I currently work in my mother-in-law's law office where I wear many hats (paralegal, office manager, receptionist, etc.) but what I really want to do is write science fiction and fantasy novels. I have three wonderful fur-babies (kitties) and can't wait until I'm out of my apartment and in a house where I can have a dog!

Nice to meet everyone.

stephcheers

I have three kids....all boys. almost 5, 3 and 10 months.

Boys! I have three boys too. Ages 9, 7 and 4. I believe God picks a special kind of woman to live in a house with only males. Funny thing is growing up there were 4 woman in my house and my dad. People always said my dad had a unique patience. I completely understand now. Boys and girls are sooooo different.

By the way I am 34 and work part-time in an office at a lumber company but am back in college working on my RN degree. I am planning on getting married for the 2nd time to the man I have lived with for the last two years. He has 3 kids also (1 boy, 2 girls). We are the Brady Bunch. LOL
