A Short Ride

The drive from Austin's house to our home is only about 10 minutes. I picked Jordan up from his friend's house, Austin, last night after he had helped them move. Teenagers don't care to talk much, but for that 10 minutes Jordan seemed pretty open to conversation with Mom. We talked of how well he is doing in the first few weeks of this current grading period and of his goal to start the auto body program at the local technical school next year. Typically, he is very up and down with his self esteem/mood ... but during this short ride, it was all up and I was blessed to have that few minutes with him to talk about his life as it is today.
