Brian and I headed north today to spend some time with Laura and to check out her new digs. Her company, Kiewit, put her up in a high rise on the 15th floor...quite different than the tiny dorm room she's used to! We were able to walk to her construction site, Union Station, to see where she spends about 11 hours a day with a happy grin. She's quite proud of the work she does and the smile just never stops when she talks about it. She's the first Environmental Engineer the company has at this site. There's so much to do and know, but she loves a challenge. After visiting the site we had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory...my first visit. Awesome pasta and even better cheesecake--coconut! Talk about yummy! Between the three of us we had enough leftovers for Laura to eat for the rest of the weekend, so that made her happy. After doing laundry and visiting a little bit we said our goodbyes. Our girl is tired and sore and sunburned from her week and she was ready to take it easy for the rest of the day. We headed home in the rain, confident that she's happy and loving life and in a good place. It will be nice to be able to visualize her at home and at work now when we talk. I know she loved having us around, but she'll be especially happy when Ian gets back from his trip tomorrow evening. Same God watching over them both. Life is good.
