About Jennifer Munday

Thank you for visiting my About Me page.

Current bio information:

I am currently dividing my time between Charlotte, North Carolina, and Munich, Germany, where my fiancé will be working through the end of 2005. The picture to the left is of Neal, me and our sweet little puppy, Sadie. We are getting married October 2nd of this year, which is coming up very quickly. I am so excited about the wedding - I just hope I don't trip down the aisle! We have tremendously enjoyed Munich and our travels around Europe this summer. Unfortunately, I have not yet learned German. We have been blessed with guests here with us since July 5th. In addition to attempting to entertain guests and wrapping up wedding plans, I am doing freelance public relations work for a not-for-profit organization in Raleigh. I also am participating in an online master's certificate program and taking an online class on the Holocaust.
