Hello!
I’m Dani. To sum me up:
My ideal place to retire is Lothlorien in Tolkien’s Middle
Earth (sans orcs).
 | |
| chillin' with the elves |
I have a dream to learn how to play the Buk drum in a
traditional Samulnori band.
 |
| obsessed with percussion |
My “travel itch” has turned into a pretty fierce case of
"travel eczema"; I just can’t stop scratching.
 |
| taking it all in on the Perhentian Islands, Malaysia |
I have almost 1200 kids, and can truly understand maybe 5%
of them.
 |
| CUTENESS. |
When I am with my muddy 10 year old golden retriever atop a
windswept mountain, I am at my happiest.
 |
| that's my girl. |
In the 8th grade, I kissed my now fiancé, Matt,
on the lips when the clock struck 12:00 on the year 2000, despite being
mortified of my mother catching me.

I am getting married next August, (August 18th,
2012 to be exact), exactly 19 months after getting engaged.

Oh, and I currently live in Daejeon, South Korea!!!
I am a born and bred Mainer, but I was dying to get out and
see the world. Fortunately for me, my fiancé thought it was a pretty good idea,
too. We packed our bags in February 2010 and flew halfway across the world on
Valentine’s Day to a new job and new life abroad.
We are both public middle school English teachers. While I
am a certified secondary history teacher, I’ve found a niche teaching Korean kids
English. The job comes with a lot of, shall we say, “dynamic” experiences, but
it has all been such an amazing journey.
We have just over 8 months to go until the big day, and won’t be
back in Maine until 3 weeks before the wedding. Planning a wedding from 8,000
miles away adds a lot of a stress to an already stressful situation, but
thankfully I have a kick-butt fiancé with TONS of ideas and a strong work
ethic. Without him (and various friends and family back home!), I’d be on my
way to throwing in the towel and sending out “we’re married!” postcards from
Tahiti.
Here are a few more pics to get you started:
