Are You Counting Down the Days to Your Honeymoon?

 

Things may not be happening in the most traditional of order, but your daughter and her soon to be husband are preparing a great future for themselves. Having two children before they were married was never really the official plan, but now that the wedding is planned everyone is more than excited. The invitations to the ceremony lead off with the two young boy’s announcing friends and family to the wedding and the day will surely be one to remember.

In addition to the wedding, the still fairly young couple is also transitioning to new jobs in a new city. After spending the majority of their lives in the small towns where they were born and raised, both of them are looking at jobs a little more than two hours from where they currently live. Your daughter is finishing a graphics arts degree and has just been invited back for the final round of interviews for a job at a local non profit museum. Her boyfriend, soon to be husband, has already been offered a position with an electrical supplier. After spending the last 10 years of his life working outside on the hottest days of the summer and the coldest of days in the winter, he is ready to take on a sales job with predictable hours, a desk, and the opportunity to start pricing large commercial bids.
