...and my wife. After 7 years and 3 degrees...FINALLY my daughter is out of college!!!!!

Now if I can just get through the end of the month and marry her off?....

Congrates... to her.

She gets cudos...when she gets a damn job.

BS in History Education and Public History MS in Public history with concentration in Museum Studies. She wants to work at a major museum like the Smithsonian some day. Surprisingly to me...she has three interviews lined up in the next few weeks. Apparently this field has a ton of people retiring or nearing retirement. The sooner she is off my payroll...the better.

Congratulations, fo and little miss fo.

My wife is literally giddy.

Congrats Fo and to your daughter. I'm sure the degrees were well earned. I have a few more years before my 13 year old son and 11 year old daughter will be college-bound and I'll have to take out a second mortgage! The cost of a college education is unreal (compared to when I was in school) though scholarships help.

Congrats to your daughter, I hope she does well in life.

Here's to the increase in Fo's disposable income making its way to the Pirate Club!

If she lands a museum job, that'll make the ed well worth it.

Good luck. If you venture up to DC then let me know.

I'm in Colonial Williamsburg again, so she could end up here. Definitely a nice place to land.

Thanks. Im just ready to move on with another chapter. Glad I could get her through it without debt. She is marrying a fine young man with a good future ahead. Im going to see him get hooded at Wake next weekend. He already has job in October...so...the end for me in in sight. I hope he knows what he is getting into!!

Congrats Shizzle. I know you are proud of her

My youngest graduated last year, got a job and got married.
I just have a dog to worry about now.

Love love love williamsburg. if you live there you are blessed. We stayed in one of the historic cottages for a weekend and absolutely loved the experience. The morning before all of the tourists got there when the "townspeople" were heading to their respective jobs was like a true step back in time. Lucky you to live there.

Next up, grand kids.

That will be OK. I hope they have listened to my wife and I and will enjoy "themselves" for a few years first. We purposely waited 5 years and did things together that would have been impossible to do and really enjoy with a child in the mix.

No, we're just visiting. Homeschooling weekend, plus it's Jamestowne's anniversary (407 years).

I was suggesting that Fo's offspring might find work here, and it would be excellent.

We've looked to relocate around here, but I have to get the boss to buy off. Still thinking about Houston, TX tho.
