Funny story: I offered to take my kids for a ride in the backhoe once and they freaked out and told me that only daddy could drive it. Sorry kids, daddy's never even been in one.

Ha, well I haven't been around here all that long. But I did notice your screen name and had a feeling you were close, or maybe had the same alma mater as my H I've lived in Cbus since March of last year. Ran the half marathon here in October and really enjoyed the race!

Haha, yep! I went to OSU for undergrad, UC for grad school, and moved back up here and in with my now husband right after I got my masters. What part of Cincinnati are you from? My mom grew up in Clifton, my dad in Price Hill, and we lived in Cheviot until I was 7.5
ETA: and that half marathon is one of my favorites. 2016 was the first time I haven't been somewhere on the course in one way or another (spectating or running) since 2008 and it made me a little sad. Though not THAT sad, considering I was visiting my sister in Florida at the time

Very early on. When we were doing the FET I couldn't shake that it was the wrong decision for us. And I felt that even if I got pregnant I would still feel called to adopt. It took a while for my husband to get totally on board and we decided to start the process in the new year so very very early in the process! We have friends who went through the same agency and it was in the grand scheme of things pretty quick so we shall see

I'm also interested in dogs, beer/breweries (not currently though...) and travel. Notable quirk or fact about you? Hmmm can't think of anything too notable or quirky. I recently travelled to India and while we were there we visited a local guru. He had some interesting things to say about me/my past/my future. If nothing else, it was a totally unique experience!
