I am 27. Born and raised in Dallas, Texas/currently live in the north of DFW. 1. I want to go out to the mountains in West Texas to go see the Milky Way; space is pretty mind blowing. 2. I'm a Montessori teacher. 3. I just painted my house a million shades of grey - so crisp and clean!
33 Kansas City I'm a travel junkie, having visited more than 20 counties in the last five years. I'm super thrifty and into budgeting, debt elimination and wealth accumulation. My goal is to have zero debt including mortgage in the next four years. I had a 2.1 GPA in high school but ended up being named among the top ten women leaders and students in my college graduating glass.
1. I'm a program coordinator at an environmental nonprofit 2. I'm also a scuba diving instructor 3. I'm going to Amsterdam next March, @Lysta85 ! Would love a local's recommendation about which small cities to spend some time in. The train system sounds amazing!
@Xstatic3333 Our train system is known for being late. I've been to Enkhuizen once and liked it. It's an hour by train from Amsterdam. I also heard "Beeld en geluid" is fun, it's in Hilversum (about 40 min by train). I live in south of the Netherlands so I don't know that much of Amsterdam and the surrounding cities.

Thanks! Good to know the trains are often late. I doubt it could be worse than the public transport where I live! We're on the outskirts of Boston's train system, which had an epic meltdown last year.
Tell me 3 things about yourself. 1. I am a crazy-dog lady; love my mutt. 2. My guilty pleasure is all things weddings (dresses in particular); bride day on TLC is my jam. 3. I love to bake, but don't do much of it or I'd be 400 pounds! (DH doesn't eat a lot of goodies so I end up eating it all. I have ZERO self control).
I live in the suburbs of Dallas but grew up in the suburbs of Chicago.
I'm a lawyer. We have a German shepherd puppy that DH named after his late Grandma (lol). I love to make lists. I secretly wish Pinterest would let users organize items into lists so I could rank my pins.
1. My husband and I just got married this summer 2. Canning is my newest obsession 3. We got a puppy in April to try to hold off on the baby fever and she really isn't helping!
Tell me 3 things about yourself. 1) I love skiing, both water and snow 2) H and I moved out of state for a few years but recently moved back to Ohio. This state has a way of bringing people back to it 3) I am in love with the beach and being out in the woods camping, hiking etc.
@HookEmNelson we just painted our entire house different shades of grey also! Different hues though for each room. I love it! We're looking for countertops now and I found this amazing slab of granite that's also... surprise... Grey!
@RachelT1234 Grey is such a great color. We went for more brown toned greys. It is earthy and crisp, AND pretty kelly green accents look really great against them. Wish I could see your granite. In the new year we will be upgrading our kitchen and I'm really excited to find the perfect granite to go with the house. My mom is currently building a custom home. She choose grey and white for most of her rooms. Her kitchen sounds beautiful; the countertops are granite and the island will be Quartz. Excited to see how it looks.
@HookEmNelson here's a pic of the slab. We looked at so many options and I'm confident this one will be it. Granite ended up being so much cheaper than quartz so it's working out for us. My dream is to build a custom home someday!
That's a beautiful slab and a great choice, @RachelT1234
A custom home is an eventual goal for us. I would pick out colors and wood stains, while my husband would be obsessing over thick and fancy moulding for the walls. He is currently convinced he is going to replace the moulding starting in our living room. I am a tad nervous.
Where are you from? Cleveland, oh (hi @RachelT1234 !)
3 things- 1)my husband and i have been together going on 8 years/married 5 next april 15, but i had the biggest crush on him for 3 years prior to us getting together so it was literally my dream come true when we got together 2) we have one fur baby, a 1.5 yr old border collie mix named scully (no one ever gets her name so bonus points if you do!) 3)i love yoga, spinning, running, hiking but lately ive been slacking dealing with anxiety and other issues but im hoping to get back into it all soon. Id love to be a yoga teacher if baby doesnt happen or if one does maybe down the line in life once he/she is older.

@gabpepsi thank you! and yes, it is intense but I love it and am very excited to finish and get a great job. It is hard work and sometimes I want to quit but its definitely gonna be worth it in the end....same for TTC.
