What have they been doing for the past month and a half?
Chelsey and Colby have soaked up about 6 weeks of fun since graduation and are now to the "oh shit, now what am I going to do" part of their lives.... We have had a number of conversations about jobs, applications, follow ups, what they invision for their future, etc.
One example is earlier in the week when Chelsey and I were having a HEATED discussion about her future. I asked:
Do you want to go to college?
What do you want to do after college?
Do you want to dream for a while and go work on a cruise ship, just get any old summer job and make sure it can be part time when college starts in August, dabble here and there to see what you really like? How about the military? A trade school? Nursing?
She applied on line at one of the companies I used to work for many years ago and after she hit submit, she did a deep sigh, as if her phone was going to right right away. One thing is for sure
She's not clear on all the answers yet.
The discussions with Colby go like this:
He comes home out.of.breath telling us about applying at Collon County. He talks about having to get his CDL license to work there and how he can just call Coach Crook (the wonderful and patient man that taught the kids drivers ed) to get the short version class. He worked Monday from 8-12 and then talked about how hot it was....he was moving Sheetrock and stuff for a guy remodeling a house in Weston. He applied at Brookshires, Dickeys BBQ, and some other place here in Celina. Yesterday, after a tiring week of job searching and working FOUR hours...he took a break and went to the lake all day with friends.
This is not the end of my stories....it's only the beginning, I have a feeling. To my Daddy, it was great to talk to you on my way home last night. Love you! To Megan, my heart goes out to you, as I know your plate runneth over at the momment. Hug Aunt Sharon for me and give her my love.
Off for an oil change and possibly to the office for a little while. Love to all and Happy Saturday.
