Savoring Summer

Seven score and four years ago, Jeff applied for his dream job. After repeated interviews and tests lasting a year, he passed all the requirements and was thrown into a hiring pool. Where he was stuck to metaphorically tread water for an undetermined amount of time. After two years of being in the pool, we lost hope and doubted we would ever get "the call"--the last step of the hiring process when they call to tell you you got the job and your new location. 

We moved on. Jeff worked on switching careers after confidently determining he hates accounting. He began to try data analysis. Go figure that he was a year into his new data analysis career than he was actually enjoying when he finally got "the call." Four years after he applied. Telling us we'd be moving to Las Vegas, Nevada in November after Jeff passed a 3-month training starting in August. 

Jeff accepted the job and we began making preparations for this big life change. Namely, we had to hurry and hang out with all our favorite people while we had the time!

This started with an evening up in the mountains with the Besses. 



A last few rounds of date night swapping with the Goldens. 
Finishing up a successful coach pitch season. 



This is unrelated to this post but please let us laugh at the fact that Carson has to sleep with a light shining directly in his face.
Okay back to  our summer adventuring. We made sure to squeeze in our Bear Lake trip while we still had Jeff around.












After our adventuring with friends, we hit the road to make one last visit with family before sending Jeff on his way to training. Stay tuned!

Those beach floaties looked awesome! We need some of those in about a year!

Congratulations to Jeff getting his dream job!

Whenever I see a photo of you and Jeff together these days, it makes me so happy and feels extra wonderful considering the distance (in miles) there is between you two.

We both laughed out loud at the photo of Carson sleeping with the light on his face considering the fact you probably have black-out curtains hanging all around him. So funny!
