Can it be?

 

He turned 18 years old, he's graduating with his High School Diploma and an Associate in Technical Arts, he's now a certified welder, and he's moving to Arizona in three and a half short weeks!  That's 1500 miles away.  Aaack!  Where did the time go?!?  18 years wasn't enough!  For him, maybe...but not for this mom! 

But we couldn't be happier for him or prouder!

 

CONGRATULATIONS

JORDAN!

Proud Mama

These are the stainless steel medical carts Jordan has been making for his employer, Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute. They're what the doctors' tools are put on to be sterilized. The hole in the bottom right is for the water tanks he welded. The guy who hired him chose him out of his welding class at the college because of the quality of his work. It's been an awesome experience for him this summer!He also gets to work in a hangar with "one" of the company planes and gets to see the company pilots fly the Learjet's, etc. So he comes home with pictures on my camera like this. . . .
and stories to tell of all the air traffic that goes in and out of there. Only time will tell if he'll follow in his great-grandfathers' and uncle's footsteps of being pilots.
