The Soltero Story

Hey Everyone! This is Tara Cook formerly known as Tara Soltero. After ECHS, I completed a BA degree in Psychology and am one class short of a minor in Communication from Carroll College. One month after graduation I began a postbac program and the University of Washington and earned a BS degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences. A year later I received an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Development and taught preschool until I started having kids!

I have been back in Washington since 2000. I got married in 2002 to Steven Cook and within four months was prego with our first baby. We welcomed Caden Ryan into our lives on Dec 1st of 2003. Within 10 months I was prego again but this time it was a girl! Our daughter Ashlyn Jordan was born in June of 2005. She surpised us a month early and had to spend two weeks in the NICU learning how to breath on her own. A bit scary, but she recovered fast and you wouldn't be able to tell that she was premie by looking at her now!

We live in Bellevue and stay pretty busy with our two little ones! I am currently a Mark and Avon Representative and my husband Steve is a currency trader. I haven't seen many people since 1997 so I am excited for our reunion this summer! It's hard to believe that we've been in Bellevue for about 4 years and I haven't run into many fellow ECHS alumni except for at soccer games or in the sad event of a funeral. I guess we'll chat at the reunion...see you there and if you get a chance before then, send me a note! Take care!
