I'm a 29 year old chick living in the South. I'm married to Kim - happily married most of the time. Our daughter is 8-year-old Bailyn. I work in the I.S. Department of a nearby hospital. Oh, and I'm a pagan living in the Bible Belt.
I love reading, cuddling with Kim and Bailyn, working with computers, playing The Sims 2, and waiting anxiously for the release of Sims 3.
2005-12-13 - 8:28 p.m. Exchange Students Considered in October
We've looked at several girls seriously, but they all wound up in the Veto pile for various reasons. Here they are (with their most important info), listed in chronological order of consideration:
Wilma - 15 - Dutch (Bummer. I didn't keep her picture) Primary Interests: Gymnastics, dance and playing the piano Secondary Interests: Travelling, shopping and swimming Future Plans: Wilma would like to study psychology INTERVIEWER'S COMMENTS Wilma is very friendly and polite and seems to have a positive outlook. She is a little shy and needs some time to open up in a new situation. Wilma enjoys dancing and gymnastics and would like to try cheerleading while in the US. Wilma works at her parents' store on weekends and helps out around the house some, too. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS Wilma worked to raise part of the funds to participate in the exchange program. Wilma occassionally takes care of younger children at her church. Wilma is dyslexic but achieves good grades. Her teachers describe her as a friendly and serious student. ROWE COMMENTS Sherry: Wilma seems perfect. She's into gymnastics and likes kids. She worked to raise her money, so we know she's not just a spoiled rich kid. She has an endearing look. I fell in love with her immediately. Kim: She's too ugly. Scratch that. She's fugly. Oh, and I think Hurricane Wilma might be a bitch. It is looming. Sherry: Maybe she's just not photogenic. Have you ever seen YOU in a photo? Or you know, that mug shot may have been 1 bad shot. But it's fine, no rush. We'll wait. This is the first of the batch. I really like her, but they'll be others. _______________________________
Jennifer - 16 - German
Primary Interests: Skiing, Gymnastics Secondary Interests: Judo, Swimming INTERVIEWER'S COMMENTS Jennifer is helpful, calm and friendly and is looking forward to mkaing new friends in the U.S. She is open to many different family types and likes pets, especially cats and dogs. She is an "easy eater" who does not have any allergies. She is an only child who has a close relationship with her parents and loves to regularly visit her grandmother. She is helpful in the home and takes care of her room, helps with the dishes. She is a good listener, open and friendly. ROWE COMMENTS Sherry: Pretty good. She likes gymnastics and animals. She's close to her parents. And she's conventionally cute, so Kim can't complain about her Dumbo ears like he did with Wilma. Kim: She looks pretty good or rather her profile does. Sherry: Yeah, she look pretty good, but she's not The One. Let's wait. _____________________________
Tetyana - 15 - Ukrainian
Primary Interests: Fashion design, swimming, diving Secondary Interests: Spending time with friends listening to music and dancing INTERVIEWER'S COMMENTS Tetyana is dilgent, responsible, creative and mature. She has a close and warm relationship to her family. During her time in the states she would like to learn more about fashion design. ROWE COMMENTS Sherry: Hmmm...she's creative. That's a good fit for Bailyn. But fashion design? Kim: She looks like a pretty good prospect. Sherry: Are you serious?! She scares me. Looks like she's about to kick somebody's ass. Kim: Damn, I didn�t get that feeling. Well she does look a little mean. Sherry: She looks a lot mean. I was just kidding! Didn't expect you to take me up on her. Next!
