My nephew is finally going to graduate. He has been a problem for my sister for years and we were loosing hope in him actually doing something positive with himself. He always leaned to the lazy side not putting much effort into much of anything, let alone school. Now he is going to be graduating from the International Business College in Fort Wayne, IN at the end of this semester. I am very proud of him and really never thought he would do it. Hoped he would, but this is truly a surprise. We can not figure out what kicked in but something did and we are sure glad. Not only is he going to be getting a degree, learned another language on top of it all he is graduating with honors. Now that I’ve gotten my reservations at hotels Fort Wayne I am going to plan my route.
I am taking the occasion of his graduation as an opportunity to go on a road trip and have some time to myself. It is going to be a really long drive taking two days minimum. I’ll be leaving Phoenix on a Tuesday morning to give myself plenty of time to get there for his graduation on Saturday. Leaving early on Tuesday I will be able to make it to Santa Fe, NM by late Tuesday afternoon and spend the night and Weds morning with an old friend there. From Santa Fe I’ll head north into Colorado. In Southern Co I’ll pick up some back roads heading north and east and should make it to Hays, KS on interstate 70 by late Weds. Hopefully I will be able to get on the road really early out of Hays, KS, if so I should be able to make it all the way into Fort Wayne by late Thursday night giving me the whole day Friday to spend with my sister, nephew and family.
Well now all the plans are in place i can focus on the perfect gift for this surprising achievement.
