Now's as good a time as any...

We were a little apprehensive about telling everyone we know about our exciting news...and no we're not pregnant...for fear that it would "jinx" it somehow. But Ben said, "Why WOULDN'T we wanna tell people? If we don't it just says we don't believe in it and it'll fail." So......

We got a JOB!!!! Read on if you're interested in our upcoming adventure...

So...my dad works with a guy, and when I say he "works" with him, his company is sponsoring him because he's invented a new energy saving technology. That's a whole story in and of itself. But this same guy wants to buy a company from his grandpa, it's called "--". It's an art competition that will start back up next year. I don't want to give too many details as this blogosphere is quite open to the public...but basically we will be running it. He will be fronting the cost and making most of the money...but we will be RUNNING IT. As in Ben will be like the Director/Curator for the museum and I will be his assistant and Director of Special Events. I'll probably also be the gallery manager and Ben will do most of the development and corporate mumbo jumbo.

So..in June, after we've graduated, we will have an INCOME. We will be able to LIVE IN ST. GEORGE!!! My dream has always been for some sort of arts organization to form in St. George so I can live by my family and Ben can pursue his dreams and goals. Well...dream come true!

We are ecstatic, feel incredibly blessed, and we're counting down the days til graduation and the next adventure of our lives!

After becoming unemployed 6 months after marriage and living with parents, then being on a student budget...we were ready for our ship to come in. And as luck would have it...it's a gigantic ship full of adventure, excitement and ART! :-)

So yay us...and yay for dreams coming true!
