A Huge Blessing

  This summer when we moved to Dallas, we were in high hopes of finding full time jobs for the both of us. So the search began, and we spent a few days applying for jobs. I got a job offer and actually started orientation (at the Gap) but was told I could only work part time. Then Olive Garden also interviewed us and offered a job that would also be part time. With one car to share and two different part time jobs to try and schedule, I am pretty sure it would have been a nightmare. Luckily, David's cousin was able to offer us both jobs at his company, full time. We were so grateful that we would be able to commute together and work 40 hours a week to save up before going back to school. Plus that meant good quality time in traffic for 45 minutes twice a day!

We played ping during lunch pretty much everyday

And the company also hosted the "Phytel Summer Olympics" which was a lot of fun. David and I got pretty far in doubles ping pong.

We both got our own offices and computers. Since I was the intern, I was moved about four times!





It was a really fun company to work for and a great experience. David was with the accounting department, and I was with product, helping them make their product more user friendly. The people we worked with were all very nice. That's one thing I love about Texas- the people are so friendly!

They even took us out to lunch on our last day and a big group came including HR, David's boss and the CFO of the company. The food was so good!



We were lucky enough to have the job for the summer- but then they offered David to continue working remotely full time, and me part time. David had the semester off, so he needed a full time job. Finding a full time job in Rexburg would have been nearly impossible! We feel really blessed that we could have some source of income. David starts his MAcc in a week, and the company loves him so much they have asked him to continue working through this year! He will most likely continue working, just part time. Have I said we are so blessed?!

  1. That was a wonderful blessing! I had no idea that you go to spend time improving your dance skills and ping pong game. And that freeway drive looks like a chance to practice your patience!
