Starting in November of last year Daniel started interviewing for internships for this summer.
With each one he would clean up his resume, put on his new grey suit, and prepare to wow those who interviewed him.
With each one we would talk about how great the company was and how it would totally fit into our plans.
With each one we would get excited thinking about where the internship could take us.
Sometimes it would be a family event. I think we always got the good end of the deal. I would much rather eat gelato,swing and hang out with these men than interview.
Sometimes he would just go alone.
But, in the end our hearts would break because he wasn't the one they wanted.
Daniel held up through all of the pressure extremely well. He was a rock.
But, after months of waiting and heart break after heart break when I seriously thought that our hearts couldn't take any more rejection and any more "not knowing" we got the call.
Yesterday, while playing outside in the warm sun the phone rang. I couldn't see my screen and who was calling but I answered anyway and I heard the lady on the other end say, "....we sent him an offer email and want to hear back from him as soon as possible."
I started to jump up and down and could hardly finish my conversation with her.
After hanging up the phone I screamed out loud.
Now we really feel like this is the greatest company and it totally does fit into our plans. Daniel will be able to commute to Ogden, and we wont have to pick up and move.
We are so excited with the connections and possibilities that this company will bring. It is exactly what Daniel wants to do with his career. Not just an another internship.
We have always known that the Lord was watching out for us and had something great waiting, we just had no idea what it might be and when we would finally find out (you see classes end tomorrow) He totally was making us wait until the last minute, pushing us and helping us to grow and to become what he needs us to be.
Now we know without a doubt that this is where we need to be.
My heart is full and proud.

I literally asked Christopher yesterday if Daniel had an internship and he told me he didn't. I am thrilled to read that he officially does! You guys have been in my thoughts and prayers. I am so happy for you!!!
PS- When we get back in the fall we MUST get together!
Yay, Daniel and Sadie!!! Congratulations! I can't wait to tell Ben. That is so awesome.
oh I'm so happy for you guys. I'm not a fan of that waiting game so I'm thrilled it's finally over for you!
Yeah that's so exciting for you guys!! Where in Ogden is it? We live in Ogden ya know, so maybe one of these days you and your boys can come hang out with Brynn and I and you can meet Daniel during his lunch break or something. We would love that!!
I seriously think this is the way the Lord works, we wait and wait until we can wait no more and then FINALLY just the right thing happens! You guys have been on my mind a lot lately, if you do ever go to Ogden to hand out with Britt, call me too I will drive down:) With Kurt being out of town for a whole week I am in much need of some girl time!!
We know that all too well. I love those tender mercies of the Lord. He loves us! And he is there!! I am sure you will always remember where you were when you got that call. We are so excited for you guys!
