Happy Anniversary to Us!

4 years ago today, on a beautiful spring day, Nat and I were married! I can't believe how fast 4 years have flown by! We have nothing special planned for today but tomorrow night we are going to dinner and then seeing the production of Miss Saigon at Pioneer Memorial Theatre. My wonderful Mother offered to babysit Adam overnight so we don't have to worry about picking him up late and then driving all the way home. It's a much-needed evening out by ourselves and I'm excited!

A very nice anniversary present was delivered today by way of a job offer for Nat! He applied and interviewed for the Senior Real Estate Representative position in Dallas about 6 weeks ago. Between then and now, 7-Eleven has decided to focus on building the market in Utah so they are opening up a Senior Real Estate Rep position here and offered it to Nat! We have known it was probably a done deal for a couple weeks now, but today he finally got the official offer! We're a little disappointed in the salary they are offering and were hoping for more, but 7-Eleven is having to pinch pennies because of the recession. But, it is still a nice raise and will allow us to finally get our remodeling underway (2 years after buying the house!) and begin saving for a bigger house with a yard in the future. We are also a little disappointed that we aren't moving to Dallas because it would've been a great opportunity (Dallas housing is cheap compared to Utah and they have an awesome relocation package) but we know our families are beyond thrilled we are staying put for a few more years and we are happy to be close to family also.

I am so proud of Nat for how hard he works and how dedicated he is in providing for us. I'm happy that he is excited for this new challenge and it makes me happy to have him find fulfillment in the job he goes to day after day. He's a wonderful man I'm so lucky to be married to him and have him the Father of my son! Happy Anniversary honey and Congratulations!
