| Re: Graduation
I didn't want to leave either. Of course I had fallen really hard for a girl who was graduating at the same time, and neither of us had jobs lined up.
The first couple of years after graduation sucked. We both worked really crappy jobs and traded off driving to see each other on the weekends (I lived in Sioux City and she lived in Omaha).
Six years later, we're married and living back in Ames, and she's working for the university in the same department that we both graduated from and I'm doing fine at my job. Things worked out, and we love living in Ames! |
