After much reminding from a patient wife, I finally need to write a blog. Kelli and I both feel extremely blessed these pass few months. Many of you know that the bank in Driggs that I had been working at failed April 24th... #38 this year. Just think, I was only working there 8 months...not too shabby. Since then we have been looking elsewhere for a job. I absolutely loved my job at First Bank of the Tetons and the idea of working with the FDIC was not going to be in my future. The night that the bank failed I thought of the bank that I wanted to work for after I graduated last spring. That bank had a Management Training program that really intrigued me, but at the time the program didn't have a start date until November, too long to wait without a job.
Meanwhile, I was given a great opportunity at First Bank and our family found ourselves in Driggs--HOME SWEET HOME!!! The next Monday I sent an application and resume to DL Evans Bank in Burley. On Wednesday I got a call to interview with them for a Special Assets Advisor position they had coming up. The interview went well. The next week I got a call from them wanting me to return to interview for the Management Training program instead. They had felt they wanted me there instead. It turns out that the November start date had been pushed back to June.
Monday, I started the program at DL Evans Bank in Burley. We are moving on Saturday to a little house. We will be there for 6 to 12 months...then end up "somewhere" between Rexburg and Pocatello.
I am humbled to express how much the Lord has blessed our family. We have seen some really special things take part in our life. In this world of uneasiness and struggles for everyone, we have never been happier. We are so excited for this opportunity and I am lucky to have a wife that is there to steady me when I'm weak and pry me up when I crash. She has never once complained about the situation we were in when I was blaming everyone. I have been blessed.
PLUS...I get to see a little boy in a couple of months. See ya soon Stetson
