David has always been great at posing for pictures..... Ignore my messy house....
If you don't want to read this massive post I've made a footnotes version at the bottom.
What a month we have had! New jobs, new house, and a new plan. So much has happened I feel like I can't even remember it all so here is the short version from the beginning.
Two months ago David decides to introduce himself to the Creative Director of the whole church at a church wide conference that was being held. He finds out through a friend that a girl is leaving this same week and a position has just opened. David talks to the creative director and he wants to see his portfolio that very same day. David shows him his portfolio and the guy loves him and wants him to come apply for a position that just happened to open up that same week.
The interview finally happens and it lasted for over two hours!! Rivers and I went down to Salt Lake with David thinking the interview would be 45 mins at the most and then we could go to dinner afterwards. Bored and running out of things to do I took Rivers to the Joseph Smith Builiding and all the senior missionaries played and oogled over him.
They tell us that they should let us know worse case two weeks.
During this time we are looking for houses as I mentioned in a previous post in the Salt Lake area and it is not going very well we can't find anything. We decided to go with a new Realtor and that very same day we find a house and go under contract. All before knowing if David got the job. At this point the plan is that if David gets the job we will keep the house and stay in Salt Lake for another 3 years.
Even longer story short. We go under contract for the House on a Monday find out David gets the job on a Friday.
Davids is now working as in interactive designer, something he has never done before so we are mostly staying for the full year so David can get the experience to move him into that position for a new job. It's a great place to get started and learn and we are truly grateful for the opportunity.
I'm so glad we are done looking at houses and can just be. The plan is to stay in our current townhouse until we move, but now that David is having to commute to SLC Rivers doesn't see him as much. So we may be looking for apartments in SLC. Yay!!
Congratulations if you've made it this far!
