Greystone Communities and Life Update

This post is long overdue!  I decided to leave PwC back in April and started with Greystone at the end of April.  I have now been with Greystone about 5 months, and I'm loving it!  I'm an analyst on the financial management side of Greystone.  Greystone works with mostly non-profit organizations to help plan, finance, develop, market and ultimately manage continuing care retirement communities (or CCRC's).  You can learn more about the company by going to http://www.greystonecommunities.com/home/home.asp.  I love this job and the people I work with. 

My goal is to start trying to keep up with our blog now that I have more time (since I have a better work/life balance).  I'm settling in nicely at Greystone, and my new job jitters are gone!

Andrew is still at SMU working on his MBA.  He was accepted into an extra class where he learns/helps to manage a small part of SMU's endowment. (At least that's my understanding!)  He likes it a lot, but it adds one more class to his already busy schedule.  We only have dinner together one night a week, because he has class every other night.  His next module will only be two classes (starting in October).  I can't wait to have him around more! And honestly, can hardly wait until he is completely done in August!!

Andrew is also going on a trip for his MBA program in December to Hong Kong.  He is super excited about it!  He will be gone for 10 days.  This is a once in a lifetime experience, and I'm so glad he decided to do it!  I will miss him during the holiday season though.

Finally, Andrew decided to get invisalign for his teeth!  His teeth look fine cosmetically, but the dentist felt like the crowding on his bottom teeth would cause future problems (cavaties, gum problems, etc), and his current bite is causing him to grind his teeth.  I felt like it was a good idea to go ahead and do it now rather than later.  So he will start his year-long plan in about 6 weeks!  I did invisalign back in high school, and I think it's a great way to avoid having to use traditional braces to fix your teeth.

That's all for now!  No promises, but I'm going to try to be better about posting :)
