Hi everyone,

 

My name is Chaska, and I am Dick and Adorae's oldest grandchild. I don't know too much about Grandpa's side of the family so it is really nice to hear what everybody's doing and who is who.

 

I got married last year and also had a baby last year so lots of

exciting things going on. My husband's name is Roy (IV). We originally met in kindergarten (Grandma Lester was our kindergarten teacher), and Grandma Lester reintroduced us on my 20th birthday after Roy had moved back here from England (his parents are missionaries over there). We have a little baby boy, Roy (V).

 

Prior to getting married and having a baby, I graduated from Cal State Long Beach (like Grandpa and Uncle Bob) and then worked for a documentary production company up in LA. It was my dream job except for the commute (1 1/2 hr each way). Since having the baby, I've decided (and was fortunate enough to have the opportunity) to stay at home and work for my mom (Laurie, Dick and Adorae's second oldest). Roy, the baby and I live with my parents, sister Kiya and cousin Bryan (cousin on my dad's side) in HB, CA. I work with Aunt Lenise, too, so I get to talk to her all the time (and hear Kellyanne's funny stories :) ). I work as an office manager and deal with the customers. It's so nice to work from the house because I can have the baby right next to me while I am working. My husband is a cook for a restaurant in Long Beach, CA, called

Tantalum (Asian-American Fusion food--don't ask me what that means but I know it tastes good!). It's has great food and a great atmosphere. He also works one night a week as a Teppan chef (like Beni Hana's, tricks and all!)

 

Well, that's pretty much what we are up to, just really busy and enjoying watching the baby grow (he can't crawl yet, but he will be soon). Looking to forward to hearing more about what everybody's up to.
