I Am C.E.L.I.N.A (the Mrs.)
I was born/raised outside of OAKLAND, ca in a super cool now GIANT town of Dublin. There I was about half popular and TOTALLY over involved in school. I graduated. Went to school at BYU, dated, enjoyed, grew & graduated. I studied lots of things. Loved Social work and have worked in a myriad of jobs in social services.
The older I got (I am still SUPER young) the more out of place I felt in Utah. In Provo your dating eligibility expires at about age 25.
So I was prepared to live my life as a single lady AKA traveling the world, partying, being the cool aunt, and basically spending tons of cash as I would have no responsibilities.
I once left on an adventure to Ethiopia that was supposed to 9months-1 year.
Then I fell in love.got married. And Ethiopia will be a part of my life forever.
So here I find myself.
Trying to adjust to being in a couple.
Attempting self domestification*.
& laughing at [myself/my mistakes]
I(we) plan to one day return to Ethiopia.
To have children.
To adopt children.
The change the world.
To give back.
&to have some adventures along the way.
I am:
An active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Aka a MORMON
