I am originally from Boulder, Colorado, but moved to the SF Bay Area during my pre-teen years.  I went to school at Cal State Monterey Bay then moved off to grad school on the East Coast, at American University.  I have lived in the Washington, DC Metro area for the past five years.  I teach ESOL to high school students in a good neighborhood but an inner-city type school. Chris is from Pittsburgh, PA.  He has lived all over the country and is a social studies teacher at the same school as me.  We live together in Laurel, Maryland, with our housemate Andrea (my maid of honor) and our 1-year-old Golden Retriever, Maisey.  We started dating last school year, in 2006, my first year teaching.  We were just friends and I was actually dating someone else!  But then he was really nice to me, always doing favors for me.  My mom hated the guy I was dating and was really pushing me to consider dating Chris.  I finally listened to her and now we’re getting married!  I guess mothers are always right after all!  :)
