Just over a year ago, my son, James, graduated from Colorado State University with two engineering degrees.
Since then, he's been working as an assistant manager at a gas station.That's an honest job and one that pays better than you'd probably expect. Still, it's not something a smart kid with two engineering degrees wants to do forever. He's been looking for something in his field since before he graduated, and last month - finally! - the stars aligned. An offer was extended, a trip was funded and a contract was signed.
In Wisconsin.
My baby boy is moving to Wisconsin.
It's okay. I'm okay.
He's an adult.
He's ready.
This morning, James, Kimmy the cat, Mercury the snake and I will start the long drive from Loveland, Colorado to Madison Wisconsin. Wish us luck. We're probably going to need it!
