On October 9, Ross began his new career as an accountant working at a local accounting firm here in Springfield! I am so excited and proud of him! He actually interviewed with the company, KPM, last fall, but never heard back from them for a second interview. Out of the blue, KPM contacted him at the end of this past spring semester saying they would like to meet with him again sometime in the summer. Mid-July he had lunch with about five people from the company one Friday afternoon, and then the following week he received a phone call from the HR director offering him a job! He was so excited and after thinking things through for about a week he accepted their offer and turned in his notice to Travelers.
That began a whirlwind of shopping and changes for us! Ross wore a uniform to his job at Travelers and had a company car, so needed all new work clothes and a new car to drive to work...we are NOT a one-car family! He did a great job looking online and at some car lots around the area and found a 2007 Toyota Camry that was in excellent condition and found some great new work clothes. And since Ross worked from home at Traveler's, we had a home office for him. That home office is no longer needed and has now been turned into a playroom for Lucy and Molly!
He's beginning his fourth week today and is liking it so far. He's working as an auditor on several government and school accounts and will do some traveling with this new position. He's actually already been out to a few locations to do some work. Congratulations, Ross! I'm very proud of you and excited for this new chapter in our life!
