So I’ve started this blog thingy, didn’t think I would but I have… so much for not getting sucked in :0)! Nah, it’s hard when all of your family lives on the other side of the country! Yeah, I’m in Mass. when my entire family lives in Cali. But that’s okay, I do have my husband and two kids :0). Yep, I’ve got two kiddos, a 4 year old boy and 1 year old girl both VERY strong willed kids, which makes for very interesting days! Luckily I’m part of a mom’s group here in the Nashua, NH area that has been a life saver since we moved here. I actually help organize it but I’ve met some wonderful people and have made great friendships and so have my children.
My husband works at Red Hat, which is what brought us across the country a little over a year ago. We came out from Seattle, WA, where my husband is from. I’m actually from California, born and raised :0). I met him, Jarod at my Jr. College, he played baseball and still does, while I was playing volleyball. We then moved up North to Ukiah, CA and finished our Jr./Community College careers. After that we moved to Seattle, WA for the summer and then out to Memphis, TN. Jarod had a baseball scholarship and I a volleyball one. After we got our degrees, okay after I got my degree we went back to Seattle, WA, not big fans of Memphis! We lived in Seattle for 5 years, bought a house, got married and had a kid, Preston in 2002. Then had another kid, Kyla in 2005. We then packed up and moved across the country to Tyngsboro, Ma in April of 2006. And here we are a year later and quite settled. We all love the area and the people. Preston is going to school and loving it. He also plays soccer. Kyla hangs out with me at home and we wander around the area looking for fun things to do with our Mom’s group.
Jarod, my husband works, plays baseball in the Boston Men’s League, he use to be a great pitcher but due to a mishap ending in a shredded ankle missed his opportunity to be drafted, as he was being scouted in college. He also has been playing soccer and is looking to join a team in the fall.
Well I think that covers the first of it, except for me :0). My name is Jamie, I’m a California girl. Raised on what many would call a ranch. I had horses, cows, pigs and the such. I grew up in an agricultural area in a little town in Cali called Porterville but I actually lived in Springville. I have great parents who did and still do all that they can for me!!!
I had a A LOT of fun in high school. Played sports year round, went out with friends and sat in the freezing cold to watch those awesome High School Football games, of which many of the players were my friends. I also had a blast in college, partying hard and graduating with a major in Psychology and a minor in Anthropology. I now stay home with my children and babysit when needed for a wonderful little boy.
Okay, I think that’s it! I’m gonna try really hard to keep this up for those who are interested in knowing what’s going on in our lives :0)
Check ya later!!
