Though they went to the same universiy, Erik and Angela Green never knew each other as students. It was only years later that they found each other. Angela actually dated Erik's neighbor! They were married June 16, 2007 and currently reside in Dalton, Ga. They have no children (YET!). As a couple they enjoy going to football and baseball games, spending time with family and friends, Japanese food, sitting on the porch in the warm sun and traveling. They live (in their imagination) in Jekyll Island whenever possible.
Angela was born in Dalton and raised in Murray County. She attended Southeast Whitfield High School and graduated in 1998. She went on to attend Jacksonville State University (Jacksonville, AL) where she earned a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. While at Jacksonville State she played the flute in the famed "Marching Southerners" marching band. She's in her fourth year of teaching third grade at Chatsworth Elementary School in Chatsworth, Ga. She also teaches a Wednesday night class at Dalton Evangelical Methodist Church. She enjoys music, spending time with family, attending sporting events (especially Alabama games) and of course American Idol. Her favorite movie is "White Christmas," the lines from which she can quote on command. She reads all things Nicholas Sparks. Angie has two sisters: Jennifer and Laura and a step-sister Christy as well as several nieces and nephews. Angie will be 28 April 23.
Erik was born in Anniston, Alabama and raised on a farm outside nearby Jacksonville. He attended Pleasant Valley High School and graduated in 1996. He attended Jacksonville State University but left in 2000 to take a job as a newspaper reporter in Americus, Ga. He worked in both sports and news writing at newspapers in Americus, Rome and Dalton before deciding to go back to school in 2008. He is currently majoring in Secondary English Education at UT-Chattanooga (being a bonkers Alabama fan, he is saddened that his degree will say only "University of Tennessee"). Upon graduation, Erik wants to teach high school English and earn more degrees. He currently works as a "teacher" at Murray County High School, supervising In School Suspension. He coached freshman football this past year. He is a rabid sports fan and follows Alabama and the Los Angeles Dodgers closely. In the past he played Xbox hardcore, but his game system went kapoot (it was sabotaged by Angie hehe). Currently he listens to a lot of sports talk radio at work. His favorite move is "Snatch." He enjoys reading, writing and the Discovery Channel. His favorite author is Cormac McCarthy. He has two sisters: Lisa and Donna and several nieces and nephews. He just turned 30 on March 7, sigh!
