Jaci's Story
Life
My Spouse
We were set up by friends (Jim worked with a guy and I worked with his wife). They told Jim it was a blind date. But I was in a failing relationship, so they told me it was just friends going out for some beers. Jim could not figure out why I was being so stand-offish. Actually, he thought I was a stuck-up bitch (imagine that from me!) :) But he must have liked me because they set us up a second time before he and I figured out what was happening. Our third time out together was our first real date, and we never went out with anyone else again. You know what they say - you always know when you meet the right person.
My Pets
We have two beagles. One full-blooded male and one mix-breed female. They are absolutely spoiled, but we wouldn't have it any other way. The female is an abuse-neglect rescue, and ...Expand for more
she's a bit off her rocker. We got her to keep the first dog company because he was digging holes in our back yard to entertain himself (Did you know beagles can actually smell a mole under the ground?)
My Kids
I have a step-daughter. She's 20, married and lives in OK. She recently had a baby - so I'm a grandma before I'm a mom. Kinda weird. We have a wonderful relationship, and are one of those rare lucky couples who actually get along with our ex-spouses.
My Job
I'm a paralegal at a mid-size firm in KCMO. I work with a number of attorneys, primarily in corporate defense. I've done a variety of types of legal work over the years and the experiences have been really interesting. It's constantly challenging, and I'm always learning. The only draw back is that some cases are a bit emotionally difficult. I love it.
