Here we GO!

In my last post I mentioned that Kevin had graduated and that we didn't know where we would be or what the plan was, well in a few days that has ALL changed! Like I also mentioned Kevin had interviewed with a company called Barrick Gold in Elko, Nevada a few weeks ago, they told us that they would let us know their decision by Friday, the day before he was supposed to graduate. On Thursday they had called and left a message saying they wanted to talk to Kev about his interview and to call them back so he tried a few times that day but never got through and then they never called back all weekend. We were a little discouraged assuming that since we hadn't heard from them again that he probably hadn't been offered the job. So on Monday night when we still hadn't heard anything and he had been offered another job here in Logan he wanted to make sure that they had filled the position so the next morning since he couldn't get a hold of HR he called the interviewer who was a little puzzled as to why we hadn't heard. He told Kevin they were impressed with his interview and they were OFFERING!!! He said he would get a hold of HR and we would know more details by the end of the day! He called me at work and I didn't know whether or not to believe him, it was crazy because both of us had just assumed that we would probably be staying in Logan for another year. So we waited the rest of the day and finally knew all the details!  They emailed the official offer and explained all the details so here it is...

We are moving to ELKO, Nevada! I know, exciting right? Well I'm excited, it's a new adventure for our family! Kevin's tentative start date will be June 20th so we'll still be around for a little while to get all ready for the big move! He'll be doing Industrial Hygiene work at the Gold mine either on the surface mine or underground (that worries me a little!) and other than getting up at 4:30 to be at work I don't know much else about what he'll be doing. So, here goes the house hunt and everything else that goes along with moving.  I can't say how glad I am to finally know where we'll be next year and how much I know we are watched out for constantly by a loving Heavenly Father who answers our prayers and gives us endless opportunities to learn and grow.
