KGirl - one year later con't

[KGirl]

So... I just got back from hanging out with a friend who is in town for the holidays (who is moving back here from across the country in a few weeks, yay!) and her fiancé. We went out to dinner, and afterwards they were meeting some friends of his for drinks. Strangely he has several friends that went to grad school with him in Kansas, but now all live and work in Wisconsin. I wasn't going to go but her fiancé said I really needed to meet his friends. So I went... and one of his friends is my age, pretty cute, has a master's degree in the field I work in (which is a counseling-type field which I think says a lot about one's interests and values), and is a POLICE OFFICER. And where I live, at least, it's not an "old boys club" but a profession that is taken very seriously in terms of addressing mental health issues, justice reforms, etc. *Swoon*. I actually majored in Legal Studies and seriously considered working in law enforcement for quite a while before I decided on my current career. And, did I mention he's single?? I'm not necessarily interested in dating right now(and I don't really want to pull a "well I'm only technically married" on someone).. but it's exciting to have identified a prospect out there that's not just online, and that a friend can vouch for I feel more hopeful about the future.
