New State, new state of mind.

Ok! So it has been a super long time since we have blogged...mostly because we can't keep up with all this change! 

So lets start with the story of how we got where we are now. 

One day toward the end of February we decided it was time to take a step of faith. To us then the step of faith felt like a move, as we considered our options Phoenix seemed like the best route. Jeff had been networking with a firm out there, which did not have an immediate opening, but we figured it would be worth it to get out there and show Heavenly Father that we are willing to be faithful and be wherever he needs us. So then as we started actually putting a plan in order, things were coming into place quickly. In one night of applying for jobs and sending out resumes online I had interviews set up in the Phoenix area. Jeff quit his job at Wells Fargo and we headed out for interviews, and to start looking for a house. The plan was to have at least one of us starting our new job March 19th. That would give my work three weeks notice and give us time to move. Well, the interviews went super great! Got to work for some really great dental offices for a few days and had multiple job offers. This made me think for sure Phoenix was the place for us, Jeff wasn't as sure as I was. 

While we were out there it was nice to spend some time with the family, and we had a really good experience with my sister.  It was nice to be close and get to be supportive of change for the better. It later came to our attention that this was the real reason we felt so strongly about Phoenix, it was to get us out there. Not get us out there to live, but to be in the right place at the right time to help someone who needed it. It worked out perfectly in a million little ways and turned out to be such a wonderful blessing and experience for us. 

So on our extended trip to Phoenix Jeff received calls from two public relations firms to set up interviews. The first on was in Salt Lake, the other Vegas. I said, "Don't even call the Vegas one back. We are NOT going to Vegas. That is the last place in the world I would ever want to live. Anywhere, anywhere but Vegas. Call Salt Lake."

So Jeff called, both of them. Had interviews with both of them. AND guess where we are! HAHA.

The last place in the world I wanted to be, was the one place Heavenly Father needed us. Way to put a foot in my mouth, right!? SO... the opportunity with the Vegas firm really seemed like the best career choice, but now that we're here we know it was the best choice in a lot of ways. 

The job is actually not really in Vegas, but in HENDERSON! I almost never actually say "Vegas" because I still have a bitter taste in my mouth about that place ;) 

From day 1 we have loved it here. Everything keeps falling into place for us and we are super excited that it has worked out for us. 

More posts to come on what we are up to.
