GTKY: About me and where I live

edited December 2014 in Getting Pregnant

I am 28 and my H is 29. I grew up in WA State and we live in a wonderful community a little outside of Seattle. We just bought our first house in May and are really enjoying it so far.

I work with young children and although it is exhausting at times I enjoy it for the most part. I did ballet for 11 years and still really enjoy dance (both doing and watching). I learned to knit about 2.5 years ago and have been addicted to it ever since. I'm just now starting to take up crochet and it has been interesting but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. I also sew a little bit here and there. I also really enjoy watching football (often while knitting) and am an avid Seahawks fan.

I am horribly terrified of flying, but still managed to travel to England and China in college thanks to Xanax.

Also, we have no pets except a fish but I am trying to convince DH to get me a cat or multiple cats.

Some random pictures, to be poofed later:
