It's about time I get started, I can always make improvements as I learn.

Thanks to my two niece's Lexi and Liz and their creative blogs, they inspired me to start ours.

There is nothing more I like to talk about than my family and what a great way to do it, so ladies THANK YOU and keep up the good work.

Chuck and I have been married for 29+ years and are looking forward to many more great years ahead. It sure is different being "empty nesters", but at the same time, it's like a new adventure we can create together as we go along.

The profile picture of our family is one of the first "family pictures" we've had in a long time, thank you so much Kyrie.

Our oldest Chase lives, works, and plays in San Diego. It's hard to get together often, but when we do, we laugh a lot and enjoy each others company. Chase is working on finishing up his Bachelors Degree, and if all goes well, he'll be all done in August....Hang in there!

Kody and Lusine live in San Francisco where Lusine has been working on her Masters and will be finished by the end of the month (YEAH Lusine). We have loved having them in the Bay Area because we get to see them more often than we did before. We are hopeful they can stick around for a while after graduation, but we'll see.

Kody is pursuing his film career while living in San Francisco. While it's not what he would ultimately like to be doing full time, the work he is doing has given him some great experience and good contacts. Again, we are hoping something big comes up so they stay in the Bay area, but we'll understand if work and opportunity take them back to Los Angeles. I'm sure Lusine's family would be thrilled to get them back.

Jesse is still living in the Roseville area. Thank goodness they didn't all move so far away. He installs accoustical ceilings for commerical businesses and is really doing well. We're thankful there is enough work to keep the business going. He's in the process of buying a house and if that goes through, what free time he had will be gobbled up in working on the house and property (1/4 of an acre of very over grown ground). He's so talented in so many of the construction trades, he'll be able to do the majority of the work required.
