He went to the college in my hometown and one of my “townie” friends introduced us when I was home doing my clinicals. Apparently he creeped on my Facebook pictures and thought I was worth meeting out in a group one weekend night. We picked him up in a Stop & Shop parking lot to go to a bar and the rest is history 😆
We went to college together and met on move in day freshman year. We were just friends for the first few years then decided to start dating. Now we’ve been married for 4 years

do you have any pets?
We have a 7 year old Boxherd dog and a 13 year old cat.
What’s your dream job and are you currently doing it?
Author. Yes and no. I am doing it, but it doesn’t totally pay the bills yet, so it’s not ALL I do. I have a lot to learn about advertising in order to make it work! So I do part-time office admin stuff during the week as well.
@vizsladogmom damnit, I forgot to ask a question too! 🤦♀️
Childhood celeb crush was Ryan Merriman (had to look him up just now because I forgot his name). He was in a bunch of Disney Channel movies in the early 2000s.
Still living in the area I was born. I joke that I went nowhere in life!
Do you have furbabies? How many/what kind?
Yep! 2 dogs, both male Vizslas. Cooper is 2, Carson is 1. We got Cooper for my 30th birthday and Carson about a year later “for Cooper’s birthday.” The week we got Carson, hubs proposed by putting the ring on his tiny collar. 😊

Definitely red wine, but since we've been ordering in from our favorite Mexican place a lot lately, I am really missing margaritas, especially in this heat.
@mdfarmchick What is something you’ve always wanted to learn but haven’t had the opportunity? Hindi. I’m Hindu but never have any idea what is being said at church! Would love to learn.
@mdfarmchick and @hannahbananas11 I love hiking too!!
@hannahbananas11 the Great Barrier Reef was one of the most amazing places I have been. Have you gone to see it yet? Hoping it can begin some regeneration and not die out 😕.
No song gets stuck in my head frequently, but right now it’s a car sales jingle that was on the tv in the break room at work.
Anything that has to do with taking care of my dad. They have been divorced over 20 years and she still asks me personal questions about his money/health/etc. situations that I think are none of her D business.
