Ok, ok - I know it's been a while since I last posted. It's been so long, in fact, Nate is developing a complex. Here's why:
In late February Nate competed nationally - in Mankato MN, in the shot put. He ended up placing 8th (out of all division II competitors) This place was good enough to earn him the title All-American. Holy cow - my son is an All America. He has been working towards this for some time now. He didn't throw as well as he would have liked, but 8th is better than 9th.
During his training he has also been (still) working at Consumer Energy. He had two interviews. I am happy to say that he has been hired!!! The job he got is the one he wanted. The downside is, this is a contract position. The upside is, this is a real job. He starts working in his new position on April 17th. They're nice enough to bring him in part time until he is done with track, then he will start full time.
(I took all the track meet pictures with my other camera. The other pic is from the Lego store; that is a wall of Lego pieces. Every color under the sun. We both wondered how you get pieces from the top row. Dan and I had some time to kill, so we walked around the Mall of America before the meet.)

Congratulations to Nate on earning "All-American" status and on landing a job! You and Dan must be busting a lot of buttons the past few months.
Thanks Tom - and yes we are. You know, as well as I, that there was a lot of hard work to get to this point.
