Introducing Myself :)

[rachel_dancing]

Hi everyone, my name is Rachel. I just discovered this site and the boards that go with it. I am excited because I’ve been loving what I’ve read so far. I am 25 and have been a Christian my whole life…but I haven’t been free from struggles and wavering from time to time. I have been married for 2 years, my husband is my best friend. We recently purchased our first home. I have a 10 month old Bospin puppy who I adore. My weaknesses include cappuccino and Dancing with the Stars! ;) I am finishing up my college degree in Education which I stopped around the time I got married. Although at face value I am a very happy-go-lucky girl I have battled with depression and I have overcome an Eating Disorder. I have had some serious damage done to me emotionally but I have continued to believe in a better life for myself. I am a fighter and I never give up. Although I’m in a much better place now then I’ve been in the passed I feel there is a lot of room for me to grow spiritually. I am looking forward to support from the ladies on this board…you all seem wonderful!

Welcome to the board! You seem like a really positive person and are going to be a great addition to this board!

Welcome. Loving, learning, sharing and caring always works better in greater numbers. :-)

Hi, Rachel! Sounds like you and I have a few things in common. My husband is also my best friend, I'm a teacher (or at least I was until the economy took a nose dive while we were in Australia and I came home to no job) who finished up her degree at 27, I cannot function without coffee in one form or another, and I have overcome an eating disorder.
Are you elementary or secondary education?
Welcome aboard!

Thank you so much for the welcome gerber daisy & LindaD!

Greatful1, sounds as if you and I could be sisters! =) I am actually in Early Childhood Education. I hope I get to hear more from you on these boards…we have quite a few similarities!
