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!
Good luck! And you’re okay!
ReplyDeleteI was in Wisconsin just last month! This is awesome news for The Buxtoni and my best wishes will go with you.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck for all of you! Have a safe trip!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that’s very exciting but I know exactly how hard it is on a Momma’s heart! Best of luck to James (and you)!
ReplyDeleteOh snap! I am RIGHT HERE! Would love to connect!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations James! I'm glad he found somewhere that will suit his unique talents.
ReplyDeleteGood luck James with your new job/life and to you Jennifer with all the changes to come.
