Welcome to Well, That Happened!

My name is Rosalie Summers.  I am a new mom to my beautiful, sweet, baby girl Emily, and a cat mom to our fluffy, adorable rescue Gloria.  I met my husband, Andrew, 9 years ago at work. We are both special education teachers, and after being friends for years and multiple instances where he literally saved my life, we started dating 6 years ago.  We’ve been married for 2 1/2 years now.  

​

Here are some things you need to know about me:

​

• I love food, especially dessert.  For any of you who have ever read or listened to Jim Gaffigan’s hilariously relatable book, Food: A Love Story, I am not a foodie, but I am definitely an eatie.  And if you haven’t read this book, please do, it’s fantastic!

• I am super close to my family.  I love hanging out with my parents and before I had Emily, I’d be at their house every weekend just to spend time with them.

• I am obsessed with cats and dogs.  I will stop in the middle of the sidewalk and ask if I can pet any dog.  It takes me a while to get through parks.

• I am a huge Harry Potter nerd. I wore capes to book releases at my local bookstore and my friends and I made t-shirts with Harry Potter pick-up lines on them for midnight movie premieres...in college.  We were definitely the cool kids!

• I absolutely love my job.  My coworkers have become some of my closest friends, and I truly adore my students.

• I love, and live near, the beach, and it will always be my favorite place to go, even in the dead of winter.

I decided to start blogging because after being on maternity leave and not working in a traditional sense for the first time since I was 15, I wanted to share some of my thoughts and experiences with others, and I hope you can relate!
