I tell you I will go anywhere (okay close to it) as long as it is with these people…
Especially that cute high school senior boy on the left… oh wait it has been 12 years since then…
I guess what I have to say is for 12 years my life as revolved around Dave and I making decisions together and creating experiences out of what life has given us. We have had some amazing experiences thus far. Since Anna was born in 2008 we have been in transition stages wondering where we would be heading next. It has been fun and stressful at the same time. During the almost 8 years of marriage we have lived in 6, now 7 homes in 5 different cities including 3 different states!
I am so proud of the choices that Dave has made to build his career. He has worked hard and received lots of positive feedback, things Dave would never gloat about, but I as his wife can be proud of. He wants to be the best in all he does and manages his time to fit in all that he can. I know he will be successful in whatever he does. It has been amazing being a part of it all and being able to make good choices together when the next step came along.
So drumroll….. the next step HAS come along and we will be MOVING TO UTAH!!!
Long story short: We had 2 options here in Modesto, one was a regional project manager position which seemed okay, but not best for experience Dave needed. Another was a Manager position which we were a week away from taking. Then he was recruited to a position in Oakland. We were bouncing back and forth between that job and the manager position here in Modesto. We were getting excited to be here in California for years.
Then, I had a trip planned to Utah, one in which Dave was not going to join me in. A couple weeks prior, Dave decided to join me. The day before we were heading to Utah he received an email from a previous employer from his Internship at McKay Dee Hospital in Ogden, who said he might have a job for him. One hour before we left for Utah Dave received a call about a job. Then the next day he talked to someone else who had more details. Dave said, “ironically I am in Utah.” So he went for interviews the next day. A few days later he had a job offer. We went back and forth analyzing all the information and accepted the position 2 days ago!! Dave will be a Director (so he’ll have managers and supervisors reporting to him) responsible for a number of support services at McKay Dee and he’ll also have some regional responsibilities.
We are still in shock, but super excited! Now we need to find somewhere to live! Anyone have suggestions for housing near Ogden, Layton, Kaysville, Farmington, etc.?
