Greg found a job!

My husband graduated in May this year as a mechanical engineer. I've been wondering, more seriously as time passed, where in the world he would find a job and where we would live, if there would be a university nearby for me to finish school, and if we would be at all close to our families. As the summer passed and Greg didn't get any serious offers, we decided we would have to move back to Gig Harbor and stay with Greg's parents until we found a job. We cried as we thought of leaving Pullman and our friends, and felt excited when we thought of the time we could spend with our families after being far away for the last 3-4 years. We found a replacement to take our place as manager at the storage facility, and reserved a U-haul so we could move at the end of this month.

Then! At the very last minute possible, Greg got a call from Decagon Devices: a local company where many of our friends work in Pullman. They wanted him to come in for an interview! The interview went great and Greg got the job! (Of course, we didn't know if he would get the job for about two weeks, so that whole time I was just wondering at the possibilities and trying to think of what to do. The date for us to move was coming upon us quickly!)

So now, we are still packing up and moving, but we're moving down the street instead of across the state. I'm so happy Greg can work for a good company with a fabulous work environment, and that we can stay in Pullman. Of course, it took a little adjusting when we realized that suddenly all our plans with family were not going to happen, and we were sad for the loss of time we would have spent with our families. The job doesn't start for a few weeks though, so we'll have time to go visit before we have to start real life again.

Here is a short video about Decagon. The company was actually founded by the Campbell family in our ward at church. Tamsin is their oldest daughter, and she is currently the president of the company.



Greg is excited about the job he will be doing. He is going to work with SolidWorks--the program he's been using for several years now for school and personal projects.

Everything has come together so well for us. Haha, I kept telling my friends at church that I knew God had a plan for us and we would be taken care of, but I just wished that He would tell me what that plan was! Maybe He was trying my patience and faith, and I finally passed the test. Hooray!
