I am sort of new at this...but as I filled out the profile, it occurred to me that in my first post I did nothing to address who I am or where I have been in the last few years, such as my fish bowl has allowed me. I was married for 10 years and had a lovely, but spunky daughter of 5 years when my husband, let's just call him Gomer, had an affair. We divorced...luckily, it ended up being the best thing that could have happened (though I didn't know it at the time). I fell in love with a guy in Ireland, whom I met online (long story as to why a girl in Alabama would join a dating service IN Ireland...but perhaps I will address that later). Anyway, I had also at the same time been somewhat dating men locally...when I went for coffee with a guy...just a guy. Coffee turned into lunch and casual turned into serious...and then:
you guessed it...I got pregnant! An unmarried elementary school teacher in Alabama...It was tough to say the least, considering I refused to get married simply because I was pregnant. I am completely sure that in more populated areas, it would have been no big deal...but here, it was quite the scandal! =) Time went on...folks had their heart attacks...but eventually everyone got over it. We ended up getting married, later in New Orleans... not because of the baby, but because we loved each other. He is the love of my life...We have since bought a house...circa 1930 and are living our life with our two kids, emma and jack.
