Greensboro has almost all the things we were looking for in a place to settle down...a great cultural feel to it, people who are very involved with community, a strong focus on the arts, and a strong sense of giving back. On NPR there was a whole discussion about when you move to find a place not only that will be a good work environment, but a good place for a family life, single life, or what ever goals you have. For example, I like running and it would have made sense to look in the community that I was moving to before to see if there was an active running community. Web sites like this one and http://www.bestplaces.net/ or http://top100.relocate-america.com/ really can help you research a place and see if it is a good place to settle down for you and your family. Fortunately Greensboro, NC seems to have everything we need right now...as a new family with new careers it has a great job market for our professions. Plus it has tons of fun museums, water parks, and zoo's for Maddox's age group. Music in the park is just one fun example of the richness of Greensboro, NC. We were lucky that we had family in High Point that led us here. Randy is learning just as much about the things to do here as I am. A place is a lot different when you are growing up to when you are an adult. I think it has to do with your priorities and the things you enjoy. We had no idea that there was so much to do here...and so many cool people.
We met up with Dawnenne and Carter and their son Parker there. It was a fun day...a nice way to spend Sunday.
It's my first week at Sorenson for training so I am actually working a full week in the summer. Wow!!
