Introduction, preface, WARNING... whatever you wanna call it !

So here we are. The Goods. The majority of readers most likely already know us. I am building this site for the out of town family members that may be interested in what Greg, Rachael, Jake and Mya may be up to :)

The past couple of months have been hectic with a move into our first OWNED home (pics to come).  That's right folks, we're back in Kirkland!! We are looking forward to meeting our new neighbors and being involved with our little community.  

We're working on getting Jake signed up for Fall soccer season and prepping him for a new school this year since we are leaving Maywood. Jake will be attending Robert Frost elementary next year which just so happens to be my old elementary school -- they even remembered me when we went to register Jake!  In the meantime, Jake is looking forward to spring break just as if it were Christmas!

Mya will be staying at her current preschool through the middle of June and will also return in the Fall.  Mya has great friends, loves reading and loves learning.  Bothell Community Preschool has been wonderful. Mya isn't quite old enough for Kindergarten next year, but just as we did with Jake, Mya will be in 2 years of Preschool.... its a little trend mom and dad started.

Greg has been working HARD these last few weeks.  Lots of early morning departures followed by late evening home arrivals. Being the manager is a tough job -- his team consists of 2 markets out of 5.  Greg manages the home office team of Seattle and also the outer market in Tuscon AZ.  Needless to say, he does a lot of travelling. In his free time, we try to get out and about together, sometimes in his hobby cars that he loves to work on. 

I am in between nanny jobs right now. The economy has been pretty rough and nanny jobs are few and far between.  However, I am busy with my own two, along with a new home to make fancy and to our liking. I never thought it would be this much work!  I do a lot of driving with drop off and pick ups to school and after school activities. Sometimes its a bit mundane but I believe the payoff will be great down the road. I wouldn't trade this time with my kids for anything.  School is on hold at this moment, however, I plan to start new classes in July. I have 2 more classes until I graduate with an AAS in business management and then its off to get a BA in Human Resources Management. 

So there is your briefing, stay tuned to see pics of the new house... as soon as I get my boxes in order and find my dang camera!
