Ok, since I don't think I've ever posted anything here...

I'm Wendy, my handle comes from the Mick Inkpen books about Kipper the Dog. I'm married, and my husband is the one that introduced me to the books and the animated series. Most of my travel is typically personal, as I switched jobs, and really fields when relocating. We're currently living with my parents, so DH can finish his degree. Prior to moving in with them, we were living in Virginia, and I was working in marketing, with a stint in accounting on a government contract that had me living in a hotel for quite a while. I typically stay at Hilton properties.

Outside of all of that, I'm a beer snob, and met my husband at a bar, where he was visiting his ex-girlfriend, who was one of my best friends at that time. We started dating when he visited the next weekend for a beer festival. She was having a girls' night in, and wouldn't let him stay there, he was going to sleep in his truck, but having a 3 person apartment to myself, I said, "You can stay here."

I'm conservative, like guns, and have my concealed carry permit. I do carry everywhere. I used to say I would never have a gun in my house, but after living in some not so nice areas, and dealing with psycho-stalker ex-boyfriend, I've learned that self defense is always the first step. I'm now a card carrying member of the NRA, and am a fan of the 1911, .45 ACP.

I'm going to start working on my MBA soon, in part because no one else in my family has ever done that, and since I'm the youngest, I want to do something no one else has.
