Scoot over!!!! My turn!!
I'm 41 years young, and my husband is 21. Just kidding!! He's 42. I am an ex social studies and vocational ed teacher and am currently a career counselor for the welfare reform program. Ha!! My husband works for The Nature Conservancy. He manages several nature preserves along the Texas coast including Matagorda, Pt. Aransas and South Padre Island. He LOVES his job, and doesn't consider it "work". Must be nice.......
We were high school sweethearts as I've mentioned before, but have only been married 10 years this October 6th. We both took detours at the end of college. He wanted me to move to Alaska with him and live in a log cabin with no running water and no bathroom and cook gooseberry pies. NOT my idea of a future. Let him go to Alaska to "do his thing", and I went my way. Hooked back up years later and the fireworks still went off. Need I say more?? We have two boys, ages 15 and 12. The 12 year old is an avid rainforest enthusiast, and my 15 year old loves surfing, the sea, snorkeling and idolizes Jacques Cousteau. Now you have the reason we chose Belize as a vacation destination. No one in our family was disappointed!!!!! We have no pets, but live in the country just outside of Bay City, Texas. Our neighbors have horses and numerous dogs and cats, so we don't need any.
My mother is from the island of St. Maarten in the Caribbean, and I've been to many of the islands numerous times. I've also lived in Canada and was a foreign exchange student to Crete, Greece in high school. (BEST thing I ever did). Now you know the fascination for world history.... My dream is to live overseas again. I love the challange and the experience. Thanks to all of you for sharing. I think this personal touch is really interesting and makes it fun.
