More Greek

I recently had a friend tell me, "I came into your life to make you more Greek" haha! I instantly thought to myself, 'No, I came into your life to make you less Greek' haha! Just kidding. But the reality is that in seeing him and all his Greek friends and, many of them being from GOYA, I realized something: it's not that I want to be more Greek, but I definetely want my son to have what my friend has. :) I want my son to grow up around other Greek kids and be part of the Greek community. I want, when he's 32, to have friends from GOYA :) and keep in touch with them. My friendship with him has probably influenced me to be "more Greek" haha, but shhh....don't tell him that.

So, I've decided to enroll my son in Greek school to learn the language, I may even join him in the church groups to get that community started within him...oh, and I'm definetely starting him in soccer (but that's just because I love soccer, not because it's a Greek thing).

Anyhoo -- I need to embrace my culture and heritage more, this I know, I guess I will try harder :)
