Alex had the coolest opportunity to start working with this company, he was first hired on to do demolition work in the Salt Lake Temple. Every July, the temple closes for two weeks for its annual cleaning. During this time, five rooms were renovated and made to accomidate better air contitioning. All of the people working there were required to have temple recommends, and to wear all white. It was very difficult work, too. They had to change many things with the granite and plaster that the pioneers built in order to put in the air condtioning. He was able to walk throughout the temple on his brakes though and see many things that most people never see. On one part of the job, they had to go up into the atic of the temple, he said that the steel rods up there were the very first ones imported from New York in the early years. They had names of about thirty of the pioneers etched into them.
I started helping in the office at Grant Mackay a few weeks ago. Its awesome how it all worked out, but the secretary who normaly works in Texas was fired from the job the same time that I started in Salt Lake. When this happened, the owner of the company brought up the idea of Alex and I moving to Texas to take over her position, and for Alex to help the mechanic down there. It was a pretty big promotion for both of us, so we decided to take it. The crazy thing about it though is that we found out on Thursday and we needed to be moved and already working in Texas two weeks from that day.
We are still in the process of packing, we're driving down next Thursday. We found a way awesome apartment in Humble, TX that is close to our new office. I think for the most part, besides being so far away from family and friends, we are really excited to move!
