Hi everyone!

My name is Ashleigh.
I live in Florence, Alabama.
My DH and I moved here from Boston last Oct.
I will be 27 on Wednesday.
I have been married for 1.5 years.
I listen to country music. I have since High School when I lived in MI, in college when I lived in TX, in grad school when I lived in Boston, and now that I am back in the South.
I have recently made a career change from child psychology to construction company (family owned). You would be surprised how similar the work is. :)
I found Cathe last August and have been lurking since then.
I got my 40 DVD bundle yesterday!! Happy birthday to me!!!
 
Ha - I wish. I only use my older boys as sitters when I'm desperate. My twins aren't mature enough yet, so I can only use them for very short periods of time. My oldest is very responsible, but he doesn't like to babysit. If I really need him, he will but I can't use him while DH and I go out on a date or anything like that.

This is my first post. Beth, this thread is such a great idea. After reading about all of you wonderful ladies and your interesting lives, I felt compelled to post for the first time! So here it goes:

Hi, I'm Kerry.
I live in a suburb outside of Chicago.
I've been a SAHM for 12 years, I've been in grad school for 3 years (I finally graduate this summer-yeah!)
I've been lurking for the past 4 months.
I will be 44 in April (just like Laurie P!)
I have been happily married for 15 years.
I have two very active children, 12-year old son and 9-year-old daughter.
I enjoy most music depending on my mood!
I love to run (it's my therapy); ran a marathon before marriage and kids. Would love to train for another one after I graduate.
My Christmas present to myself were two Cathe videos. I just ordered two more! I'm hooked. I work out in my basement 4-5x week.

Thanks for making a lurker feel welcome! Plus I've learned soooo much about fitness from all you, thanks!
