Original Post:  Hello to you all! My name is Chelsea Evans. I'm 26 years old. Next month I will have been married for 5 years to my husband. I work at a local eye doctor office in my hometown as the office manager for about 6 1/2 years now. I am starting my first semester of college with this class on my journey to becoming a R.N. in the future. I would describe myself as a sincere, thoughtful, and very adventurous person. I enjoy traveling to new places with my family. One of my favorite places to go would be Universal Studios in Orlando. I currently have a trip countdown going for another trip to Universal Studios in the next few weeks! Traveling to new places and meeting new people gives me something to look forward to and forever memories!
