Texas Escapade

So, you wanna hear a crazy story? This story will explain why we're standing at the Texas border at midnight looking so ridiculously happy :) The story begins about 2 months ago. At the beginning of June, Shanam and I took a trip out to Utah to visit family. I arrived the day after he did. After picking me up from the airport and asking me how my flight was, he began to tell me what had happened to him on his plane ride over. This is where the story gets good. Now you have to understand that Shanam is a very outgoing person and has no problem carrying on conversations with complete strangers. Well, he got talking to the man next to him at the airport. Turns out he's a CEO of a multi-million dollar company that just got it's start a little over three years ago. This of course peaks Shanam's interest since he is the entrepreneur of entrepreneurs and wants to start his own business. They continue until the plane arrives and they are forced to end their conversation and get up. Since they were both headed to Salt Lake, the man decides to invite Shanam to his office to meet with him the next day! Can you believe this, and it gets better! Shanam goes the next day to meet with him and he's offered a job to work as a business developer for the company! So how does this tie into us being on the Texas border at midnight? Well, Shanam decided this would be a great opportunity to learn from someone who has already accomplished what he wants to do and took the job. But in order for him to know about the company he has to learn it from the bottom up. This means going to two seperate branches, one located in Texas and one located in Wyoming for up to 6 months and eventually ending up in Park City. Soooo, two weeks after coming back to Florida we pack up his stuff and head on out to Texas!! We had an awesome road trip, traveling about 17 hours straight to Texas, and finally reaching the border at midnight. A little delirious and giddy :) After getting him settled, I left him there in the middle of nowhere, only to communicate by phone for the next few months, while I went back to Florida. I'll only be here for a little bit longer. End of September is when I'll be moving back to Utah!!! By that time, Shanam should be finishing up in Wyoming and moving to Park City by the end of the year. Isn't it amazing how life just works out :) So everyone out in Utah...be expecting a party! Bethany's moving home!
