    Screen Name: Dignity100

    Age: 35

    Wedding Date: 10/14/2014

    Husband's Age: 37

    What do you do/Career?  I work at a software company in their hosted environment

    What does your Husband do? He also does computer work, maintaining servers/applications

    How long have you been together?  Nov 2007 (almost 7 years)

    Where do you live (State / Country / Province)?  Ohio - Cleveland area

    How did you meet?  We used to work together.  I was actually in a relationship before H and I started dating, he treated me WAY better than the person I was dating (it was kind of a toxic relationship I was in).  I decided I deserved to be happy and broke up with the person I was dating, I started dating H about a month after I broke up with my ex.  I have to admit, I wasn't in love with my ex - I thought I was doing him a favor/helping him out by staying with him; but it was just that - always about him.  I'm glad I took control and decided that I had a right to be happy too!!

    Do you currently have kids? None; I think we might try in a year or two.

    How about fur-kids?  I have 2 dogs (a Great Pyrenees and a Newfoundland), 2 cats, 1 guinea pig, 2 fish.

    Hobbies?  Even though I haven't rode my bike much this year, I enjoy cycling.

    How would you describe yourself?  Introverted, quiet/shy, loyal, caring/try to help others, modest

    Favorite Season and why?  Fall - I love the smells in the air, all the pumpkin stuff (though it's almost annoyingly everywhere now - makes it harder to decide which pumpkin item to order), Halloween

    If you won the lottery - what would you do with your life?  I would love to either start a charity or become more involved in the canine cancer charities.  I lost a dog to cancer and I couldn't find anybody that could help - there were a few support groups out there, but for actual assistance, I 'made too much'.  Before that though - I'd like to travel and see the world.  I haven't got to see much of this world and I'd like to see more.

    Anything else you want to share about yourself?  I feel I'm a pretty simple person, not much too me.

    How long have you been together?  May 2010 - over 4 years

    Where do you live (State / Country / Province)?  Pittsburgh, PA

    How did you meet?  I got tired of most online dating sites, so I took my chances and posted an ad on Craigslist.  At the time we were both getting over someone and so we were more of a friendship/support at first.

    Do you currently have kids? None, although we are trying now.

    How about fur-kids?  He brought a cat to the relationship, she's 13.  I brought two dogs, but lost one a couple years ago at age 13, and this one is still hanging on at 15.  Ally is the cat, Pepper is the dog (rat terrier), hence my user name.

    Hobbies?  Shopping, reading, road trips.  

    How would you describe yourself?  laid back, great sense of humor as I'm told, caring, love animals and have been known to rescue some wild critters (i hate seeing them on the news when they've been abused, etc.)

    Favorite Season and why?  Fall, which is definitely why we had a fall wedding.  We both love it, actually.  It's romantic, I love starting to wear sweaters.  I love the smells, too.

    If you won the lottery - what would you do with your life?  Definitely start some sort of animal rescue/sanctuary.  Also start an organization for those affected by suicide.  Not to mention buy a fantastic house with no neighbors nearby, plus nice homes for my family, all close to each other.

    Anything else you want to share about yourself?  I'm very open-minded and also a very open person.
