Hey, who's the new guy?

[james127]

I guess that would be me. Just wanted to drop a quick line and introduce myself.

I am an "experienced" thirtysomething and attended the Lynchburg concert last Friday as a chaperone for a group of middle school boys (the ones in uniform, if any of you were there). My wife and I also chaperoned for a Third Day concert in Greensboro on the Come Together tour (with Bebo Norman and the Paul Colman Trio). I've been checking out these boards for a few days now, and have decided to say hello. "Hello."

I'm a pastor in central Virginia, and will gradumatate (or something like that) from seminary in May (woo-hoo!). I also teach middle school Spanish. My wife and I have two daughters: an (almost) ten year-old and a two year-old we adopted from China last year.

Looking forward to reading and participating on the boards. Any do's and don'ts (besides the posted board rules) for a newbie?

Now, where do I run around and say "I love cheese"? :p

[teachermom]

Hi James- I am new here too so I thought I'd just sponge off your thread and introduce myself as well (since I'd like to be a CARAT too... *shameless begging*)

I'm Casey and I'm from Maryland. I am 34 and the single mom of 2- my son is 9 and my daughter is 6. I am a children's ministry director, an elementary reading specialist, and a college professor in education. I've been a 3D fan for a long time, but am new to the boards. Thanks for letting me say 'hi'!

Unfortunately, my hectic schedule does not allow for it. I'll be coming up on finals around then. Also with preaching on Sunday mornings, I try not to stay out too late on Saturday nights. :D

Aww, you should try to make it;) The concert is only at 6:00, which means it'd be over about 8:00. ;) That's really early!!!:D:D

Hey, everyone, please say hey to my sister Kati (jerseygirl). She's floating around here, too.

And Jason, I signed on as a gomer in 2001 but never got back on the site until Dec 2006. I had just started to get on the internet back then and it was alien to me.
