In order to cut Erin's tuition at Ohio State University from $40,000 to something a little more reasonable, our 3rd daughter sorted, tossed, sold and finally packed up all her earthly belongings and drove - all by herself - from Sonoma, CA where she has lived for at least 18 years to Columbus, OH where she doesn't know a soul. But in the age of COVID, Kris had a 5-minute conversation with her boss - where she works as a mortgage underwriter, telling her of her plans to relocate to which the boss said, "OK, as long as you're not telling me you're quitting!" It seems there are now options for working at home - certainly due to the coronavirus - like never before.
Our adventuresome daughter tells us the drive through 5 states was wonderful and beautiful. It is much more humid - probably due in part to those pesky Great Lakes - but she is impressed with Columbus, a town she describes as a lovely place.
Will she stay there forever or return to CA or UT? Its anyone's guess at this point. When Erin graduates - in about 4 years - our Kris-e-ola will likely make a decision, but it could go either way or anyway.
It's hard to think of her so far away but if anyone can make it in a brand new community, its our beautiful Kris!!!

She is still just a text or a phone call away. Can’t wait to be invited back.
