Life... Lately

So our life has been crazy lately- but I wouldn't have it any other way! (this is long- but good documentation for me...)

Matt finished his first or two years at BYU for his MBA. He worked so hard this year and his grades reflected that hard work! He's been searching and interviewing for a summer internship and we have been praying and fasting, along with our family, that he would get an opportunity that would help him build his marketing experience. We figured the internship would be out of Utah so we put our place up on the Internet to sublet but didn't have any interest, until May 1st. On Saturday a guy came and saw our place and wanted it, then and he was staying in a hotel until we moved out... so we did. We packed up and left 48 hours later and drove to Colorado to stay with my parents.

At the time Matt had one internship offer with a company in Ohio that we thought we would take but he was waiting to hear back from 4 other companies. Well, over the next week and a half he had a few more phone interviews and received an offer from JetBlue in SLC. The next Friday Matt had these two offers expiring, and at 4:00 other offers started coming in. He had to make his decision by 5:00 on Friday and between 4:00 and 5:00 he got two more offers from great companies. In the end he decided that the offer and opportunity available at JetBlue would give him the best experience, so here we are... back in Utah. We are really excited about this job experience for Matt and we are going to try and live it up here while we can. We rented our place out in Provo furnished so we needed to find somewhere else to live- with stuff already in it. Gratefully some friends in the MBA program were leaving their house in Lehi furnished, so we've moved in there. Matt will start with JetBlue on June 7th and will spend a day in NYC for orientation and then start his work here. We are so grateful for this internship and feel really blessed! Come visit if you're in Lehi!

Taylor requested an eye mask to take his nap. A MBA spouse makes these- SO CUTE! Brayden was happy as long as he had some junk food to eat.

Oh. My. Gosh! That is hilarious! So crazy. I'm glad I never lived your your townhouse. I think it's the curse, lol. Just as Becky leaves for CO, her husband gets a job in UT, and then you guys leave, and then Matt gets a job in UT. Hilarious! It's so great to know you're around though. You should come over and play someday!! It'd be fun to see you. I'm sure Spencer would be SO excited to play with Brayden again!

Whew! That was crazy! Thanks for explaining. Its nice to know how it all went down and where you guys are at this summer :)

Hey that's great you're still so close! No more excuses, I expect to see you guys at play group ;) We've missed you. Glad things are working out so well for you.


PS. If Aaron seemed a little off on the phone the other day, he'd just woken up and he had no idea who he was talking to. Then later he started listening to the message you left and he was like OH! It was Lori, that makes a lot more sense. :) Gotta love 'em
