Hi there.

Ha ha ha, you are all going to have a good laugh when you read this.

Well, my name is Nicole (wink wink), I'm 24 and I live in South Africa. I married my high school sweetheart, whom I met when I was 15. I have two dogs (who are my children) A border-collie named Zoe and a daschund cross spaniel named Zac.

I am a Grade 5 English teacher. I love my job. I find it incredibly rewarding and the kids are so cute.

I enjoy walking on the beach with my hubby and dogs, reading, gardening and have a huge bonsai collection.

I have an eclectic taste in music and will listen to pretty much anything, except really heavy metal and country and western. Being South African, it never really took off over here.

I love sports. You'll find me with a beer in hand, yelling louder than most men at a rugby match.

Well, that's about it. I live a very simple, yet incredibly blessed life.

I have a bit of OCD when it comes to checking my email to see if I have received reviews for my story. Pathetic, I know, but I love reading them!!
