We married the summer after
I graduated. He still had a year to go, and during that time I worked
temporary office jobs. I applied to a number of graduate programs in
psychology, and was accepted at Ohio State. Luckily, OSU also had a
computer graphics program, because that was the career Demetrius decided
he wanted to pursue. We always thought we would move back to the Chicago
area after finishing school, but we never quite got around to it. All
our stuff is here. I miss family, but I definitely don't miss Chicago
traffic.
We now have a 18 year old
son (who has Asperger's Syndrome) and a 16 year old daughter. Also a
collie, a golden retriever mix, two cats, and a cockatoo. (You can see
pictures of our pets here.)
My favorite movie is The Princess Bride and my favorite book is The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I am looking forward
to meeting all of you in class, but in the meantime, I hope you will
take a few minutes to send me an introductory e-mail.
