The 4-1-1

Last January Ben and I were driving home, and he asked me if I had ever thought about moving out of Utah. Coincidentally, I had been thinking that very thing at the same time he was.
To make a long story short, we decided that was something we wanted to do, and found out where Wells Fargo had offices. They had a small office in Charlotte. We prayed and fasted, and felt like that was where we should go. So, Ben sent a resume to the manager there, and told him of our interest to move.
Now, a year and a half later, Wells Fargo has bought Wachovia, which has a huge presence in Charlotte, making our move possible!

Ben was told of the job opening (doing the same thing he is doing now) at the beginning of May. Before Ben and the manager in Charlotte (Randy) discussed the position, Randy flew Ben and me to Charlotte to meet the team members, and show us around a little. It was so much fun. It was almost like they were trying to convince us to move. They really like Ben, and want him to come work for them. We knew we were making the right decision as soon as we got off the plane. Everyone that Ben will work with is so nice, and it is absolutely beautiful there! We both love it!

Ben accepted the job at the end of May, and last week Ben and I flew out there to find a house. That was stressful. We had the end of Wednesday, all day Thursday, and most of Friday to find one. I think we went to see 30-35 houses. The last house we saw, was the one we chose. . .why couldn't we have seen that one first!? Anyway, we sent them an offer on the house Friday night, and they had accepted it by Saturday afternoon, while we were still on the way home! Hooray! Here is our house:
I'll post more pictures when we are there, and I get some time! We are so excited!!

Side note: Simon had a game while we were in NC. The little stinker made four goals! It's way funny too, since Ben told him he could have $5 per goal. Haha! I made Ben give him the twenty bucks. His last game is tonight. I hope he makes more goals so that I can see. . .and so that Ben has to cough up more money! Simon was pretty thrilled when he got all of that money. :) He has earned almost enough to buy a Nintendo DS (we are too cheap. . .Simon has to earn the money and save up for it on his own). He's almost there!
