Loved Our Visitor

Cal finished his last two finals yesterday.  He thought that they went well, but was overall just happy to be done with his undergraduate career.  Although he wouldn't go as far as to call himself a graduate, I sure did.  He said that he would feel better about it all when his finance grade was posted.  I wasn't too concerned about that.  I have learned that the Henisch children tend to over worry about their grades and in general receive higher marks than they thought.

Cal decided to stay in Bloomington for a couple more weeks, but made it to Syracuse for a little while today.  Hannah-Marie needed a ride home and that gave Cal a chance to visit with his friends and family.  He started his morning at Wawasee Golf Course playing nine holes with Jayce, Nick and Cameron.  Afterward a group of his Wawasee classmates met at the Lakeland Youth Center for an afternoon of basketball.  Cal was rusty at both golf and basketball, but was mostly just glad to be back at them both.  He was also able to visit Grandma and Grandpa today as well, talking about golf, basketball, IU and much more.

Cal spent quite a bit of his time in Syracuse visiting us on our back porch.  We had decided that it was best for us to stay the six feet apart that was recommended by the governor for safe social distancing.  Cal had had a friend that tested positive for COVID-19 and had been in contact with more individuals than we had been over the past six weeks, so we thought that it would be better to be safe.  Even with the separation of space, it was so nice to have him home.  We talked about school, his summer plans, the Michael Jordan documentary, Ozark and all of the movies that he had watched.  He had just found out that his job at Plante Moran wouldn't start until January 8th due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  He seemed alright with this idea as it gave him more time to study for the CPA.  We were happy to hear that he that they would be holding his position.  Both Doug and I were a little worried with the recent downturn in the economy.  It was a relief to know that it would only affect his start date.  We were sad when he finally had to leave, but so incredibly proud of his time at Bloomington.  His hard work has paid off in big ways.
