Life at the Miethe home is rarely quiet and that is exactly how they like it.

Nick and Jaden Miethe, along with their three daughters Peyton (7), Parker (5), and Penelope (22 months), bring a lively mix of energy, creativity, and connection to Bermuda Run. Whether it is cheer practice, church activities, or a spontaneous walk through the neighborhood, their days are full and centered around time together.

The family will celebrate four years in Bermuda Run this fall after relocating from the Raleigh area to be closer to extended family in Statesville. That decision has shaped much of their life today, as time with grandparents and loved ones remains a priority and a joy.

Nick and Jaden’s story started long before Bermuda Run. The two were classmates in middle and high school before reconnecting during their college years at UNC Chapel Hill. After graduating, they were married that same summer and began building the life they had envisioned together.

Today, both have built meaningful careers while raising their growing family. Nick, who studied Computer Science and Anthropology, works as a CTO at IBM where he leads a consulting practice focused on IT transformations and helping organizations prepare for the future of AI. Jaden, a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner with Novant Health Pediatrics in King, earned her nursing degree at UNC before completing her master’s at Duke. Her work caring for children and families is a natural extension of the compassion she brings into her own home.

That home is full of movement and imagination. Peyton and Parker are both involved in competitive cheer, which keeps the family traveling to competitions throughout much of the year. Peyton has also discovered a love for theater and is preparing for an upcoming performance at Reynolds Place Theatre, while staying active in Girl Scouts. Parker fills her time with soccer, dance, and outdoor play, and is already excited to begin ballet this summer. Little Penelope happily tags along to all the activity and especially enjoys toddler story time at the Clemmons Library.

Creativity is woven into everyday life for the Miethe family. Jaden, who was a competitive cheerleader at UNC and part of a national championship team, now spends her free time crocheting, weaving, and embroidering, often inviting the girls to join in. Nick has created his own maker space at home, where he shares his interests in 3D printing, robotics, and woodworking with his daughters. It is not unusual to find a new project in progress or a curious set of little hands eager to help.

Their two dogs add even more personality to the household. Ty, a 10 year old Yorkie Poo, and Stanley, a playful Bernedoodle, are regular companions for neighborhood walks and backyard adventures.

When the family is not on the go, they enjoy some of their favorite local spots, including Two Cities Church, Dough Joe’s for donuts, The Bookhouse for a good read, and Quanto Basta for a date night out. They also love spending time outdoors at Tanglewood Park, Reynolda Village, and Kaleideum, making the most of everything the area has to offer.

Giving back is also an important part of their family life. Through their church, they regularly serve local schools by helping teachers, cleaning classrooms, and improving outdoor spaces. Peyton participates in service projects through Girl Scouts, and the entire family has taken part in food drives supporting Second Harvest Food Bank.

One recent memory captures both their spirit and the strength of this community. During a snowy stretch earlier this year, the family bundled up, loaded a wagon with Girl Scout cookies, and went door to door through the neighborhood. With so many neighbors home, what started as a simple cookie sale turned into a fun and memorable afternoon of connection.

It is moments like that which have made Bermuda Run feel like home. For the Miethe family, it is not just the activities or the location, but the people. From friendly waves on evening walks to sharing treats with neighbors, they have found a place where community truly matters.
