About us

Just a little background on each of us:

Greg--born and raised in western Kentucky (but I don't hold that against him-ha!) and has lived just about everywhere else it seems! (Just kidding, honey!) Has degrees in electrical and chemical engineering. He has 3 children from his previous marriage: Rachel 24, graduated from Lipscomb University with an English degree last December, now living and working in Nashville; Amanda 21, a senior at Lipscomb, will graduate this December; and Jamison, soon to be 18 (Aug 21) and a senior at Providence HS in Charlotte, NC. Greg started work just this week with IPL (Indianapolis Power and Light) and absolutely LOVES it! His parents and grandmother still live in western Kentucky.

Dianne--born and raised in Greenfield, IN. My college degree in fashion merchandising is not currently being used, as I have worked for 8 years at Performance Tire Service Company in Indianapolis. Performance Tire is the race tire distributor for Bridgestone Firestone. I have been fortuntate to travel all over the US and also to Canada, Mexico and AUSTRALIA with my job over the years. My parents still live in the house where I grew up in Greenfield. They also have a cottage on Lake Tippecanoe in northern Indiana, where my grandparents first bought their cottage over 50 years ago.

Deidre--born in Indianapolis, has lived in Greenfield since age 3 1/2. She is my daughter from my first marriage. She is now 15 and will be starting her sophomore (yes, that's right!) year at Greenfield Central High School on Aug 13. She just finished her 7th year in 4-H and is in color guard and winter guard at school. She has been driving with her learner's permit for 2 months now and completed her driver's ed class in June.

Greg and and I were married June 16, 2007, which seems like a good place to start with this blog!

Welcome Family and Friends!

I welcome you to the first installment of "Hoover Happenings!" I was inspired to start this blog by a part-time co-worker of ours--the Firestone mascot, Firehawk. His wife, Mrs. Firehawk maintains a blog here and I have found myself checking in regularly to keep updated on their family. So I thought, why not start one for myself?! It can be a great way to keep those friends and family who live far away or who are always on the go to keep updated on the happenings at the Hoover house!

ENJOY!
