BIG NEWS!!! WE ARE EMPLOYED!

Braden got a JOB!! Technically it's not the first offer he's gotten, but it's definitely the best. He is going to be a marketing technical specialist at Adobe at their brand new office in Lehi, UT.  Who knows what that title means but here's what he will be doing:


"Oversee the technical operations of Acrobat.com's front-end pages, including page 
development, management and integration of outside development projects, 
maintenance of CMS, and maintenance/improvement of EC2 server infrastructure. In 
essence, be wholly responsible for the implementation of all pages at www.acrobat.com 
up until the sign-in/create account experience, including all services and all languages."

Whatever that means.

We are very excited and he is thrilled with the job.  He is excited that he gets to work closely with a friend from his undergraduate and graduate program at BYU (who had great influence in him getting the job).

We have two possible start dates - October 29th and November 5th.  We are making decisions and looking for places to live and may even drive out (this weekend?) to look at some places.

And for those of you interested, when we were in Utah for Matt's wedding in August, Braden's friend called and said he wanted Braden to apply for his position because he was being promoted.  Braden was able to go in and meet a manager that week.  His friend highly recommended Braden and told them that Braden had another offer.  Once they were able to open the position, things went very quickly since they knew we would be gearing up to move to Braden's other offer in Madison, Wisconsin by the middle of October.  We are thrilled to stay in the West and near family.

Here's Braden showing how painfully excited he is:
