Chelsey Settles In



Less than one month ago - on June 30, our niece Chelsey moved up from Arizona to live with us. In the less than one month since then, she has attended the Brinkerhoff 4th of July Bash on Mason Lake... enrolled in Tacoma Community College's Fresh Start program to finish up school... She has gotten a Washington State ID and Driver's Permit... She has an appointment to take her driving test (which means I need to practice with her - EEEEEEK!)...

And, starting today...

She also has a job, working in the Deli at our local Fred Meyer Marketplace!

I snapped the above pic when I picked her up tonight after a grueling day of watching orientation videos, taking tests, reading manuals, and getting to know her fellow new co-workers...

The first three-plus weeks have been great! We love having her, and it's been great practice for next summer when we'll be helping Ellysa prepare for a summer job! (again: EEEEEEK!)

  1. Way to go at Freddies. My most favorite store. I get the wiki rice all the time there.
