Nancy's Story
Life
I have never married, and I really don't know why. (My brothers might be able to tell you why. HA HA) I have a group of friends I do things with here in Indy, and I still have old friends living in Northwest Indiana that I miss a lot.
Life took an unexpected, sad turn when my mom passed away in 2000. It was very devastating to me, and pretty much a 'life changer". That year, 1999/2000, was really tough for me. I had a couple of MS flare-ups, and it seemed like whatever could go wrong, did. My motto that year was, "One disaster at a time, please."
But, I really believe that year made me stronger. I made the decision to leave my teaching job in Indy because I was burnt out and wasn't doing anyone, the kids or myself, any good. So, I took an elementary counseling job in Gary, IN and loved it!
I ended up with an amazing group of coworkers/friends and a great school. I bought the house I grew up in, which was, oddly enough, therapeutic (sp?). I stayed there for five years, and probably would have stayed longer if my school hadn't closed, or if I hadn't been laid off every year only to b...Expand for more
e called back (too stressful!), or if i had met someone.
So, I returned to Indy to take a job as an ESL teacher in Wayne Township. I started out in middle school, for which I am not suited. LOL I transferred to an elementary, and I LOVE my job.
I have two awesome dogs that I really love. I adopted Teddy, the Rat Terrier, first, and then added, Yogi, the "Jackie boy", in 2005. I was supposed to be Yogi's "foster mom", but 4 years later, he's still with me, so I guess I am a foster mom failure.
I volunteer on Saturdays with an animal rescue group. Eventually, I would like to try fostering again, but it's kind of impossible while I'm living in an apartment. I am in no hurry to get a house. Home ownership, when you're single, can be very hard work, and I enjoy being able to call maintenance when I have a problem, and I enjoy the pool!
Making friends when you get older is harder! Come to think of it, pretty much everything is harder when you are older! LOL Drop me a line if you'd like to chat. I also discovered Facebook, so I'm connecting and reconnecting with friends through there, too!
