Mike is in his 3rd year of working for YARDHOUSE restaurants in Irvine. He's the construction manager for all the new stores they build. He's currently working on stores in Florida and Temecula and keeping very busy traveling. We are very blessed that he has a job and continues to work in these difficult times.
Chelli started a new position with the Garden Grove School district in November. I'm currently the district CRA (computer resource assistant) and I travel to various schools in our district to take care of minor computer issues. I'm still working part time and hoping this position works into full-time once the budget gets worked out.
Elizabeth is going to school at Cal State Fullerton and studying language development. She and Adam have postponed their wedding date for sometime in the future. They are diligently working on their careers before walking down the isle. Elizabeth surprised us last week with an announcement that she had put a deposit on an apt and was moving out the following weekend. She (us) moved out this past weekend. BOY!! Did she have a lot of stuff to move! She now lives in Fullerton, very close to school/work. The apt is very cute and has 'Izzy' all over it!
Christopher is attending GoldenWest College and getting his general education requirements completed. He hopes to graduate this summer. Chris is working in construction and learning the trade - so many things to learn, but he's getting lots of hints from Mike. Chris enjoys playing basketball, softball, soccer and working out at the gym in his spare time.
Andrew is a senior at Pacifica HS this year and is on the varsity volleyball team. He plans on going to a community college next fall to work on his general education requirements. Andrew's currently not employed but works the occasional weekend with Chris doing construction. He's become the 'jack of all trades' working at neighbor's homes cleaning pools, hanging Christmas lights, gardening, and minor household repairs.
Lauren is a freshman at Pacifica this year and is very involved in water-polo. She has practice 3 EARLY mornings a week and everyday after school. This on top of a very difficult academic schedule. Lauren is a natural in the water and we love to see her play - we're sad to see the H2O season coming to an end, but she's already geared up for the swim team!
McKenna is still our 'puppy' although she's about 12 years old!! She has the good life of sleeping all day and then going for a walk every morning with Chelli. She surely doesn't act her age - one would think she was a young dog the way she gets all excited and runs all over the place when it's walk time!
