I am married. I have 3 kids. I am studying to be a teacher. I have kids in elementary or middle school.  I will be teaching high school. I illustrate childrens books. I am looing for a good book to read. I haven't read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I have a job.  I go to school.  I don't have much reading time. I find school pretty easy. I have another semester of classes and a half year of practicum left. I am from upstate New York near the Canadian border.
I am 27 years old. I love reading. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is one of my favorites. I work at a small niche company that makes and sells massage chairs. I am thinking of changing jobs. I just got a promotion at work. the promotion comes with a raise and I am satisfied with my job and benefits. I will be managing 3 new people doing my old job. I am going to celebrate with coworkers tonight. I am from the suburbs of Philadelphia.
How is the new role at work going? So far it's working out well. It is a bit different overseeing more people than I used to, so I am still getting used to that. Overall I think I performing okay though! Did you finish that essay you were working on last week for school? I completely forgot I mentioned that to you!  I actually got it done a couple days ago. My husband is my best editor and I just got it updated with his suggestions.  I think it should get a good grade. Aw, I love to hear about spouses supporting the education and work of their significant others. How does he feel about you becoming a teacher? He was the one that suggested it!  It was actually my plan and then we met and started having children.  After our third went to Kindergarten, my husband asked if I was ready to go after that dream again.  He sounds amazing, you certainly hit the jackpot in finding him! Now that my career is pretty steady I have been thinking a lot about getting out there are trying to meet someone. Where did you meet your husband? It was kind of a funny story.  I was sort of crushing on his best friend at the time who was my co-worker.  So we had a co-workers thing where he brought my future husband and we just hit it off!  I know that your guy is out there just waiting for you.  Just stay confident and don't rush things. That sounds like the plot for a romantic comedy movie. I am trying to be patient, but it's really hard to meet anyone when I work so much. My company is so small that I don't even really meet that many people at work either. I just don't know how to meet someone. I know it sounds corny, but try a church social sometime.  People there are often in the same boat that you are in: there isn't enough time and don't want to deal with the bar scene.  I also don't think you will find people intimidated since you are the big boss now! :) I have heard that my church does have a young adult group, but I never have actually gone. Do you think I should just show up there next week and introduce myself? I don't think I would know anyone there, but I'm willing to try! I think that's what you will do. I am sure it will be awkward, but I just picture THAT moment where everyone will part and the spotlight will be shining on the perfect guy for you.  That's how Randy and Sandy actually met.  I think Randy used some line about their names being so similar and they just hit it off. All right, you talked me into it. I'm excited! I hope no one tries any pick up lines on me though, because I won't be able to keep a straight face. I'll be sure to message you about how it went. Thanks for the suggestion.
