Re: GTKY
1. what part of the state fo you live in: northeast! (which means i'm never any help with indy related questions)
2. occupation: i took a year long maternity leave, so currently i am a SAHM to do little girls. but when not on leave, i'm a kindergarten teacher
3. hobbies: i've really gotten into sewing the last couple of years. i'm also trying to get back into running, hoping to run a mini in the near future. and lastly i've been trying to read more. some days since staying home, i feel like my brain is rotting!
4. something random: we are currently debating whether to move or stay put. we've outgrown our current house but for some reason moving kinda makes me nervous - and i'm talking same town, just a bigger house. i'm hoping our future selves will figure it out (bonus points to anyone that can name that show)!
1. northside of Indy
2. accountant
3. running, cooking, wine tasting :-)
4. My birthday is 2-11 and my kids' birthday is 11-2. Cool, huh?
1. what part of the state do you live in? Suburb of Indy
2. what is your occupation? I was a full-time auditor at a public accounting firm before we moved from IL to Indy when DH got a new job. After finding out we were having twins last May, I planned to be a SAHM for a couple years before looking for a new job and putting the kids in daycare. After our loss, I became a housewife. I said to DH that I guess I needed to look for a new job here. However, we decided to try IVF again first and see if we get a BFP and then I'll continue to stay home. My former employer in IL knew about our loss and asked in October if I wanted to work from home during busy season (Jan-April 15th), so currently, I'm preparing corporate tax returns and reviewing personal tax returns from home. Dh and I figured that would give us more time to try for a sticky BFP. Of course, I'm hoping our next IVF works. Otherwise, I'll have to look for a new job.
3. Do you have any hobbies? I love decorating and organizing around our house. I also enjoy watching reality tv shows. I really feel like I should read more.
4. Share something random! When I was a kid, I doodled floor plans. I drew the floor plan of the house my parent's built when I was 13.

2. Currently: Pharm Tech at CVS, but I have a degree in psychology from Hanover College- I just really needed insurance and now I'm stuck haha!
3. I've kinda lost all my hobbies. I like photography, but haven't taken photos for a long time. I like antiquing, but our collections have grown too big to expand any more right now. Also like scrap booking, but it's soooo time consuming! (well when you're super particular about it like I am, haha!)
4. DH is trying to start a non-profit to help local residents with MS and costs of disease related stuff!
I was diagnosised with early MS right after graduating from Hanover in 2008. Research has shown that early treatment can reverse early MS, so we started treatment immediately and... 2 and 1/2 yrs later I only have one lesion left on my spine at the base of my neck 
(started with 4 small brain lesions, and 1 large spine lesion- the one that's still left) I'm just really happy with it, I feel very fortunate to be diagnosised early 
having MS has changed my life and made me a lot of the person I am now!
Nice to see some action on this board!!
1. what part of the state do you live in? NE side of Indy

4. Share something random! Indy has been the longest I've lived some place since 1998. I've lived in Pgh, Charlotte and upstate ny. Indy has been great!
I'm a Rehab physician - a small specialty call Physical Medicine & Rehab. We focus on things like recovery from spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, sports medicine, stroke, etc. It's a great field of medicine!
Awesome! We did FL --> Crand Cayman --> Cozumel --> Belize --> Roatan and loved it. Roatan was amazing. We visited an orphanage and dropped off supples which was so eye opening. I'd highly recommend check out the West End to grab a bite or a drink at the end of your day. It's so beautiful!

4. DH's 16yo sister lives with us for now - but may be more permanent....not sure how I feel about it.
