So remember when I blogged about Cabo a while back? So fun! Such a great and needed minimoon. Well, we almost didn't go to Cabo, we almost went to Cancun, and we almost didn't go that weekend, we almost went the following weekend cause Paul had a class he was taking that weekend but then he decided to skip it cause it was the only weekend that worked for Jared and Alyson for some reason, can't remember, to go to Disney with us. Anyhoo, so the stars aligned and we went to Disney and then Cabo. I had already looked up and written down the address to the LDS church near our hotel and wrote down that they had a 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. service. We almost went to the 1 p.m. one but then decided last minute to go to the 9 a.m. one. We got a taxi and I asked him to come back for us an hour later.
Church was wonderful. We spoke with missionaries there from Utah and just loved the ambiance and dedication and spirit of it all. Another couple walked in a few minutes late and sat a few rows ahead of us. I thought I recognized the lady but didn't give it much thought. After sacrament, the couple came up to us and I started talking to her and remembered her name was Leah Thomas and we were talking about how I knew her from Mentors International where I used to work. Such a small world. It was fun to catch up and then we introduced our husbands to each other.
On the short cab ride home, her husband Nick started talking with Paul about his job and gave Paul his email so he could email him because his company was having some phone system woes. We didn't give it much thought after we left them at their hotel and continued on our merry way to relaxing by the ocean. Paul emailed him the next day at the airport. The following day Nick asked him to come to the office. Paul came and they visited for a long time and Nick felt that he would be great as a Vice President of IT for their company. Turns out Nick is the president! I was astounded to say the least!! Paul had to go through six more grueling interviews and we both got super stressed. I pretty much scratched the whole thing off and just decided to be grateful Paul had a job when a week later Paul texted me and said "say hello to the new VP - same salary as the job before I got laid off and stock options!!" Whaaaaa???!! Praises to the Lord! I could hardly believe it and called him and we were delighted together.
He began his new job last Thursday, Feb 26, 2015 and he is LOVING it. The other night, I heard him rustling around 2 a.m. and asked him if all was well and he said "I'm just sooooo excited!!" I haven't heard him this happy in a loooong time. Tiffany, my lovely sister-in-law says, I just love it when Paul gets so excited. I know exactly what she means. He is such a pro, digging into his new job and just happy and getting his hands "dirty" and learning a ton about how to be a leader and having weird hours cause he leads a team in India. You go, baby, you go!! Paco, I love you, yes I do!! You can do it and I'm just so grateful for the Lord's hand in our lives for this fortuitous blessing.
Besos!
