The moral of the story...

This photo reminds me of how these plants multiply which made me think of all the blessings we have had multiplying in our lives. Scott used to head up the merchant service department for Bank One Utah. He became friends with Angela who at the time worked for US Bank. They would compare notes and refer business. When Angela heard Scott had been laid off she got Scott an interview with the VP for Wells Fargo where she is now the head hancho for Utah. Her boss is a great man who lives in Colorado. Scott had a phone interview and last week went to an in person interview in St. George where we would have been living. They loved Scott! Today they created a job for him to bring him aboard. It will be classified as a temp position but at the very latest Jan 2010 they will bring him on as permanent:) He will be working out of Salt Lake with several of the branches but we do not know yet which ones. They asked him when he would like to start and he decided either July 15 or 30th. That way he can get a backpacking trip in with his brother and nephews and help his wife get out form under some of the boxes that she is trapped under.

I know I am prejudice but I just ADORE this amazing man. He spoils all of us and is really the person I choose to be with 24/7 over anyone else. I love ow I feel about myself when I am with him and how safe I am around him. We are very different but the overlap areas are awesome and we have so much fun together. Plus he is my dreamboat hunk. His hair has gotten more blond and his skin tan from all the outside work he has been doing. It is really gross how much stuff we have collected over the last 15 years. EBay here we come. So with my cool new job and not having to pay rent and getting a salary we will be able to save all his income which is more than he was making at his last job. Which means we could pay cash for the new house.

The moral of this story is two fold. First of all, I need to trust God, all the time no matter what. He has never let me down and even when I think all is lost He always saves the better part for me. It does not happen the way I think it should or plan on it happening but it is always better. He has our best interests at heart. I have got to trust him better and not be so controlling. Pres. Hinckley always said that things always work out-- he is right. It is not a free from pain or toil road but it also is a path that you never have to be alone on.

The second moral is life on earth in business is all about WHO You KNOW. It is not about degrees or experience-- not that they are a bad thing. But both of the jobs we have are because of who we knew. I guess it also helps to have interviewing skills and to not burn bridges, my dad was always trying to teach me to not burn bridges. Wouldn't it be cool if I could learn these morals before I die and head on to the next chapter? We can only hope because what good are low hopes anyways:) Here is to Scott landing a job and me learning something sometime soon.
