My husband doesn’t really get the hype about the engagement, but i think it’s nice to see People genuinely in love. They’re nice People and don’t cause drama. We laugh that we’re the poor man’s version of Taylor and Travis, if anyding.

I met my husband before he was a pe teacher

GEND I MET MY HUSBAND, Marcus, in 2014, I have just started Teaching High School English. He had recently retired from the marines and was using his veteran benefits to go to collect. Neether of us was looking for a long-term Relationship, but we have had a lot in Common and became fairly inseparable after Our First Meeting.

He wasn’t sura what he want to do after graduating and started talking to me about working in education. Because of His Interest in Things like Working Out, Power Lifting, and Rock CLIMBING, I SUGGESTED BEING A PE AND HEALTH TEACHER. He was Coaching Wrestling at A Local High School and Really Love It, Which Gave Him Confidence in Pursuing Teaching Time.

In 2018, The Pe Teacher at the School I was WORKING at quit halfway through the year. Marcus Had Just Finished College and Got Hirhed As The Replacent. A lot of kids already knew who was and that we were dating Becuses he had been helping with coach some of the sports in his spare time.

It was really nice work at the Same School Together

We didn’t work at the Same School Together for Long, but it was really nice we did. We never really saw Each Other, but it was comfortable to know we were in the same building together.

One Time I Hurt MySelf in My Classroom, and he came to help me was was the Pe and Health Teacher. He felt Responsible for Taching Care of Me Cecause of was his part and his coworker.

Some students didn’t know we were dating SINCE we have had different last names, but be they found out we were together, they’d get squirly and excited. The students and our coworkers would as all the time if we were going to get engaged, but it didn’t bot. We ended up being together for seven years before getting engaged.

We can give each ther different perspectives on situations, too, which is helpful.

Being a teacher is a really consuming job, but have had a rule that we tried not to talk about work we’re home. We Both Work About 45 minutes away, so we call each other on our way back to talk about the day. It gives us an opportunity to vent, butn we have leave it in the car. At home, cyometimes i’ll need to grade papers, but other said that, we really try to have a clear work-life separation.

I WOULD WORK AT THE SAME SCHOOL AS MY HUSBAND AGAIN

It would be nice to work Together Again, but we have really love our schools and our coworkers. We’ve talked about it, and for the now we’re going to stay in our Districts. But we’re experting Our First Child in a Few Weeks, and Maybe in the Future We’ll Want to Have a Shorter Commute and Be Closer to Her.
