jennvan Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hello Everyone, I thought I would stop by and introduce myself as directed by my good friend beefche. :) I'm not so young anymore and sometimes wonder where life has gone. Despite that, I love my life and am grateful for the hand of the Lord in it daily. I just graduated with a master's degree in marriage and family therapy and am in the process of starting a private practice. My favorite part of what I do is bring God into the therapy room and turn people back to their relationship with Him, regardless of their religion. So few therapists do that and I love that I get to do that. It is essentially the love of my life. Now if only I could find a real life man to fill that spot. :) Outside of that, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I enjoy seeing new places and try to travel when I can. I'm of the mid-singles age and it has been a struggle for me for many years. I'm currently looking to motivate myself to get back into sewing since my mom gave me an amazing new sewing machine. I used to know how to sew but I think all my graduate school info had to push older info out of my brain. :) But I hope it comes back soon. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.

beefche Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Yay! You made it! Although you should have probably kept your friendship with me secret. Now, you may be hazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that we don't trust your knowledge but I can only imagine how ground down your teeth would get from being grit over everyone else offering advice. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hello Jenn. OK first question is, "Are you Dutch?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rameumptom Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Welcome Jenn. Beefche's a good person, except she lives on the wrong side of Indy.... Hopefully Mid-Singles will be able to help both of you. However, I know a few nice guys in the older-Singles group, who need someone who can push their wheelchairs around for them. Of course, they do have a nice pension plan for you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennvan Posted October 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 beefche: no way would I not let people know you are a friend. You are just too awesome. :) I'll take the hazing. Dravin: oh, yes....its already happening. I had to stop reading the relationship stuff, it was actually making my head feel like it wanted to explode. :) Dr T: what makes you ask about my being Dutch? Maya: thanks for the welcome, I appreciate it. rameumptom: I must live on the really bad side of Indy since I don't live in Indy. :) I am hopeful about mid-singles but so many people just don't really get mid-singles and it frustrates me. They say they do get it but in reality people just want to run mid-singles like an older YSA or youth group, among many things. Thanks for the thoughts on the older singles but I'm not sure I'm that hopeless yet. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Welcome Jenn despite the fact that you are a friend of Beefche's. We promise to TRY and not hold that against you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Dr T: what makes you ask about my being Dutch? Just because you might be Dutch. That's might be my guess from the name. So R U? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miztrniceguy Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Welcome Jenn...and the REAL question is which side of the river you are on....the North side or the South side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
begood2 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Welcome to the site! I just cleaned my computer screen, so please don't lick it like that over-friendly beefche does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Very cool Jen, thanks. It was a good guess I guess. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennvan Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Welcome Jenn...and the REAL question is which side of the river you are on....the North side or the South side? I don't like to participate in rivalries. I also don't take sides on the state schools thing either even though I graduated from one of them. I think its silly that people don't like me/ignore me based on the school I attended. And I think its silly that I should do that to other people. And don't even get me started on the sports stuff.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefche Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Uh oh, jenn. I think our friendship just might be over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennvan Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Very cool Jen, thanks. It was a good guess I guess. :)I'm thinking you probably know something about the Dutch since you said that. Most people when they see my whole name say, WOAH. Or "you must be German". I just tell them, Nope, I'm Dutch. Then they get all weird because they thought they were smart to say I was German. :) I even had someone one time in a temple tell me what he thought my name meant. I actually know what my name means from the family research we've done and it was NOTHING like what he said. But I just let it go, no need to upset a nice old man about something like that.

I only meant it in fun, as long as you are from the northland. If not I was dead seriously only just kidding...lol:lol::lol:And as far as sports go, I don't care really either except to say that The Chiefs have won more games than the chargers!

jennvan Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I knew you were joking miztrniceguy. I still think its funny that people are all about finding out what side people are on. So I don't answer anything about them when asked. It drives people crazy! :) beefche, that would just make me sad. And I know you are joking.

miztrniceguy Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Yeah, I'm ok with whatever side anyone is on. I just ask out of curiosity.Since I am from calif I really don't have loyalties like that. I will root for the Dodgers if they play the Royals.
