"Could you believe things would end in this happy way?"

(First person to name the movie that quote is from will get a surprise from me in the mail....)
Well, where to start.
Life is pretty much awesome right now.
Landon got a job.
Merry Christmas to us!  :)
So...want the details? :)
Landon will be working for American Express.  He'll be dealing with contracts and due diligence.  A KYC (Know Your Customer) Analyst.  He'll be reviewing the legal and financial structure of the customers (i.e., merchants) that use American Express, and then if they are all above board, etc., he'll be doing the contracts.
So...where is it, you ask?
Salt Lake City, Utah.
Seriously.
I don't know how it happened.  We had applications out all over the West, and one even with the Air Force.  There were hardly any jobs here, and I didn't think we'd end up here at all.  I was hoping for Oregon (and part of me is really sad we won't be moving back there!).  All I can say is that the Lord has a plan for us, and apparently that plan is for us to stay here.


We're so happy.
