It's Official...Drum roll please...

Yes, you heard it first here. Jared has successfully landed a job! Where you might ask? This is actually funny...it is within 2 miles of where we live! Yes, you heard me right...TWO miles. Apparently our family is meant to continue to live and grow around here. I have hesitated to actually post about it, because it has yet to seem real!

Why you may ask? This, school adventure has been a long time coming to a finish. Jared started his graduate school pursuits in the fall of 2004, where we started applying to several schools. I was afraid we would end up moving to New Mexico, Las Vegas or California. Then prayers were answered and we were accepted into the University of Utah, Physical Therapy program in February of 2005. That was the BEST Sunday, yet...we got to tell everyone about our acceptance letter...It was also Jared's Birthday party...a great day! (Yes, I am huge and prego!)School started the following May 2005, right after we had our first baby, Alayna (April 11th, 2005). He ended up having to fly home early from a family vacation to Nauvoo to start school. I was sad to have him leave me and our little 5 week old baby girl. This is a picture of me saying goodbye to him...We moved into Shandra and Todd’s basement, in Herriman. We have lived here ever since and we have LOVED it so very much. We have endured and enjoyed many fun adventures: seven long years of Jared working at the Mayan…yes, every single Friday and Saturday, (ever since we’ve been married!), welcoming our second baby, Jacob into our family, entertaining the idea of moving to Twin Falls Idaho, (No thank you!), and Jared living away for two months in California. Those are just a few!

*This last Saturday was his final Saturday to be scheduled at the Mayan…That in it’s self deserves a HUGE round of applause…in fact we are having our first Friday night date this week! Yeah!!*

Anyways...with the final internship winding down to its final weeks it is time to look forward to the future. Graduation is April 30th and May 1st! He gets his cap and gown tomorrow! Crazy...it's really here. (This is a picture from both of us celebrating graduating with our bachelors degrees from the University of Utah, May 2005)

Tonight, I decide to post about his recent job offer because of his experience today, which he shared with me.

Jared took a long way home tonight, (thanks to construction and road closures). He thought it would be fun to stop by his new clinic (right off of 12600 S and Bangerter Highway) and say hello. Everyone was gone already, but something caught his attention. He noticed something on the window written in vinyl lettering, “Jared M. Suker, DPT”. He laughed and called to say, “I guess it really is official!” It is such an exciting time for him. After all of his hard work and sacrifices he has finally made it!

Good job, we are so very proud of you!!

Now, the hard part starts…looking for reasonable real estate in Herriman! What a joke! Wish us luck!!!!

P.S. This is not an April Fool's Joke! Just incase you thought I was trying to pull something!
