Your job: DIRECTOR OF A PRESCHOOL
Your new city: BETHLEHEM, PA.
It takes you only a few days to get settled in to your new place and your new town. Your job is going great, but you are having trouble making friends outside of work. One of your coworkers who just got engaged notices that you are lonely and offers to take you out to dinner with her and her fiance and some friends. You are all caught up on work and want to get out and have some fun so you quickly agree. She picks you up later that night and you go to dinner and drinks with a large group of people at a local restaurant. While you are there, one of her fiance’s friends catches your eye and the two of you start to talk. You hit it off and he drives you home at the end of the night. The two of you exchange numbers.

By the end of the week, the two of you are dating. It turns out that he is only one year older than you and graduated from college last year. He is everything you have been looking for in a man and you fall for him very quickly. Luckily he feels the same way and after two years of dating he proposes to you! You waste no time getting married and have a destination wedding in _______. You have a beautiful and intimate reception with family and friends and leave for your two-week honeymoon the next day.

While you are moving in to your new home you start to feel unwell and faint (lucky for you, your hubby is a saint and catches you!). You wake up in the hospital only to be told that you are pregnant! [name]Both[/name] of you are shocked by the news but you are happy nonetheless and quickly start work turning one of the three bedrooms in your house into a nursery.

Daughter #1’s name: [name]ROSALIE[/name] [name]JANE[/name] [name]HOGAN[/name]
You are thrilled to have your daughter but want to wait a little while before you have any more children. When your baby girl turns two you start to try for a second child. Six months later you find out you are pregnant again, this time with twins! Like with your daughter you want their genders to be a surprise. You give birth to identical twin boys!

Your starter house is all filled up and your husband thinks you should be done having children but you slowly convince him to try for one more, since you are so in love with your little girl and want another daughter to dote on. When your twins are one year old, he agrees, but confesses that he would rather adopt a child. You are okay with the idea and together with your four-year-old daughter you decide on a county to adopt from. When you and your children get there, you go to the orphanage and immediately set eyes on the most perfect baby girl you’ve ever seen (besides your own, of course). She is eighteen months old and you start the paperwork for her adoption right away. A surprise comes, however, when you try to take her home ” her mother had just given birth to another little girl and put the other baby girl up for adoption as well! Your husband is just as appalled as you are and you decide to take the baby girl’s sister home with you also. You give them names that you love, but keep their birth names as middle names.

Fortunately you get it at a huge discount and the work is done quickly. You love your new home but since it is so large it feels empty to you. Your husband agrees and the two of you decide that one more baby wouldn’t hurt, plus your husband really wants another boy.
