10 days later...

So the last post was all about Lindsay and how I had the luckiest Friday the 13th a girl could ask for.  Well, ladies and gentlemen, this past Monday, the 23rd (exactly 10 days after I was hired) was another lucky day for the Yates family.   And I am here to tell you why...

As our close friends and family know, Daren has been interviewing for various accounting positions in/around the Salt Lake City area.  He had received a phone call initiating a call-back interview for this past Monday for a company by the name of Boart Longyear, which confirmed that he was 1 of 2 front runners for the position they were hiring for.  While he was in the two hour long interview, he missed a phone call from Hoyt Archery - another company he had interviewed for the previous week.  When he checked his message from Hoyt, he heard Susan's voice requesting a call back from him ASAP.  Of course, he called right away, and that is when Daren was offered the position of being Hoyt Archery's new Cost Accountant.  Absolutely thrilled, he called his wife and told her the great news!  However, in just interviewing a second time for Boart Longyear and knowing he was a front runner, he realized he needed to let them know he had been offered a position for another company and would like to hear their offer if they were willing to give it.  So he did just that, and it wasn't 12 hours later that Boart Longyear called and ALSO offered Daren a position with their company...   

2 job offers in 2 days.  NBD.  

 

After careful consideration and much discussing, Daren will be starting his career for  

as their new Cost Accountant starting on August 6th! 

We are thrilled!!  Not only is it an amazing position, but it is for Hoyt Archery!  

We all know that hunting is just a small obsession of Daren's, and for him to get to work for a hunting company on top of being their Cost Accountant is definitely a double whammy! 

I cannot believe that we have both accepted careers in just ten short days between one another.  We are feeling so blessed and could not be more thrilled for one another, as well as ourselves.  

So there ya have it... 

Daren and Lindsay have:

Graduated from college, 

gotten married, 

moved to a new city,

and started new careers...

all in 2 months.

We're grown ups now.  

Weird.
