Connor.....The GRADUATE!!
Connor graduated on Sunday...So, exciting!
I'm thrilled....and honestly relieved :)
I think he is ready to try new things, and this excites me!
I've probably been a bit of a 'helicopter' sister over the last few years.
I pretty much single-handedly forced him to apply to colleges, paid for the applications, arranged college visits, and lately have been trying to convince him that college is worth the cost/student debt.
He is leaning toward attending Grand Valley for Engineering in the fall.
Oh, Connor...your high school years have been dynamic, lots of change, lots of newness, some loss...So VERY proud of you amidst it all (he graduated with a stellar GPA :), and he has held down an after school job virtually EVERYday since turning 16.
When I went to college, you were still in Middle School. I remember when you and Bradley came to visit me....you boys stayed up all night playing video games with some of my freshmen guy friends.
When I was a junior, you came to visit me with mom the weekend before you moved in with dad--and started going to your new school. I remember....you ordered a 'Banana' steamer from McConn coffee. Who does that?
Now you're so BIG.
Driving your big, black jeep or truck, working with grown-men at your job fixing things (that I could never understand), wearing steel-toed boots, camping, playing loud music, and are constantly on-the-go with friends.
This is a sweet time. Enjoy it Bro. Congrats to you!
