Back on the saddle...

Well even with having good intentions of keeping a blog updated for friends and family, it failed miserably. We're back and ready to try again and hopefully this time be successful at keeping you all informed! How do you recap the last year and a half?? So much has happened and so much is on the horizon for the Gregory Family that it's hard to know where to start. I guess I'll pick up from where I left off last entry. Just to list a few things that have happened in the last year of so:

I quit my job
We moved to a new house
We took trips
We became landlords
I ran my first half marathon
I started my own company
Josh's beloved car finally blew up (so sad, he loved that car)
Mason took his first round of swim lessons
Mason turned 1!

To start, I left my job as a property manager after being with the same company for 6 years in order to stay home with Mason. I've loved every minute of it and have made some great friends during my time as a stay at home mom. We've enjoyed countless playdates, birthday parties, trips, dinners, family nights and so much more fun with our new found friends. Mason loves his buddies so much and it's so fun to watch them all together. I've spent the past year and a half at home caring for him but things have recently changed. I've started a new property management company called Southlake Property Management. That's right, I'm in business for myself and am having a great time being back in "the game". The amount of business that I have keeps me just busy enough to make a little extra money while still keeping myself marketable. Two mornings a week Mason goes to daycare and learns lots of new things and has an opportunity to spend time with other kids his age. His daycare teacher is one of his old Gymboree teachers that started her own daycare and once we heard that, it was obvious to us that was the best daycare for him if he was going to go to one. He is so excited each time he goes there and sometimes even surprises me with a sweet little art project that he put all his creative energy into. On Valentines Day he made me a special valentine, and I must say, it was the best Valentine I had ever received. There were big smiles on that boy's face when he gave it to me. He was so proud and I was so happy to receive it. Okay, well more later. Hopefully some exciting posts to come...
