New to the Nest

Hi all. Don't know if you guys are keen on introductions here but I thought I would anyway. I am new to the Nest but I used to be on the Knot awhile back. I've been married nearly two years, and I'm the only married one in my group of friends so I tend to kind of feel isolated a little. Thought I would join the Nest and maybe I wouldn't feel so lonely.

I'm 27, I work as a dispatcher for a tv provider. I am training to become a domestic violence/sexual assault crisis counselor and I play roller derby. My husbeast is currently a student, getting certified for IT. He is also a ref for my roller derby league. We gave a cat named Charlie who is very cute but quite possibly demonically possessed.

Well that's me. Looking forward to chatting with and getting to know everyone.

    Hello!  I just joined recently, as well!  Roller Derby--that is awesome!!  I couldn't do something that physical!  I also think it is awesome that you are training to help people in crisis situation--you must be a strong woman!

    Thank you ladies! :)

    @jt305 - Strong is one word for it I suppose! It's one thing for me to be strong enough to take or give a hit on the derby track (hence my username), but it's completely another to sit face to face with a sexual assault victim. I guess one might prepare you for the other.

    Roller derby is great by the way, even if you don't think you can! I've been doing it for over a year now and I only wish I'd been brave enough to join sooner!
