Hello, everyone. I'm Kari, and, I'll be 28 in September. I was born in Springfield, Illinois, but, call Columbia, South Carolina my home. I lived in Germany for seven years, Washington for 2, Virginia for almost 1, and, have resided in Texas since 1998. I have a 7-month-old yellow labrador retriever named Finn, a dwarf hamster named Houdini Jingles and a hairless rat named Luli. I was married at almost 18, and, was married for almost five years. Just chilling and enjoying the single life now, although I do have an astronomical crush on a coworker, but, who knows how I'll feel next week! It's cool to read about everyone! Thanks for starting this thread, Tonya!
