I am just your average southern girl from Corpus Christi, Texas. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and both attended SMU in Dallas. I spent the first 23 years of my life in Texas, but always dreamed of seeing more of the world than the vast Texas horizons. Shortly after graduation, Joe and I tied the knot - thus began our adventures. Being a consultant, Joe's job moved us around about every 3-4 years from Los Angeles, to Chicago, to Dallas, to Richmond, and back to Dallas. Although I graduated from SMU and TCU with degrees in Finance, being analytical in nature, but creative at heart (in other words, I hated my job and missed my kids), I "retired" a few years ago to be home with my wonderful boys J & B. Our family is now embarking on yet another new adventure as we relocate from Dallas to the tiny country of Luxembourg! Alas, this Southern gal is headin' to Europe!
I joined expat.com on 10 August 2011.
