What we've been up to!

A whole lot! Spring is definitely making it's way into Summer here in Lake Wylie. I don't know who knows what so here's the run down with me...
I got a job at a full-service advertising agency in Gastonia, NC.

I love it- recently made my first sale and have a whole bunch in the pot. I am covering the promotional products (trade show giveaways, corporate apparel, etc.) pretty much anything with your name and logo on it. If you need anything give me a shout! I got to go to a fancy photo shoot and get my picture taken:



I've been attending many after hours events trying to network. I've also joined the Lake Wylie Chamber of Commerce, The Montcross Area Chamber of Commerce, River Hills Country Club and a couple of leads groups. So right now I am a very busy girl!


The kids are doing great. Kaiya is attending First Wesleyan Christian School in Gastonia until fall and then she'll be going to Pre-K in our neighborhood at Crowder's Creek Elementary with Anthony. In just a few short months she has learned all of her days of the week, months of the year, and is writing her name and all her letters and numbers- yay Kaiya! She is growing up very fast and enjoying our new house.


Anthony is doing great at his new school and is very ready for summer vacation. He will be spending 4 weeks with Craig in Va Beach and will come home on the 4th of July. Both the kids are already enrolled for Camp Thunderbird in the fall. They will be going afterschool together. Anthony has been at Camp Thunderbird since the beginning on April and absolutely loves it.


Steve is enjoying his new job at Lake Wylie Marina. New boats sales are down significantly but luckily used boat sales are up! We've been doing quite a lot of boating and I am quickly becoming a "boater"- even bought me a new pair of Sperry's!


We've also been checking out the local attractions. Last week we went to The Evening Muse and say Ben Taylor...he is the son of James Taylor and Carly Simon. It was fantastic! We also saw David Saw and my new favorite up and coming artist Carrie Tree- you have GOT to check her out! http://www.myspace.com/carrietree I got some pics but haven't downloaded them quite yet... because (drum roll please) might as well leave them on there since Steve and I am going to Atlanta Monday to see...
Steve Miller Band

Oh and Joe Cocker will be there too! It will be a very short vacation but we are looking forward to it.

Today Steve's sister Lisa and her boyfriend Dave are coming down from Virginia Beach to go to the Coca Cola 600 Nascar race. They'll be staying until Monday. We are looking forward to seeing them-they are loads of fun! My mom is coming down on Sunday with her friend and they are staying until Thursday! Whew! Yess...lots to do. I am making my famous (well it's not my recipe but I make it for everyone) BREAD PUDDING...top notch recipe right there!! Everyone will love it. You should come for a visit and then you can have some too!!

Well I guess I'll go and clean...lots of it to do. Anyone headed down (or UP) I-85 needs to stop and see me. Miss you all and love you!!!
