I started my new job at Canyons Ski Resort 4 weeks ago. I thought I'd show some pics of the view! You will see pics of my first ride on the Gondola from the base up to a midway point. You will also see picks of the Grand Summit Hotel where my office is located at the bottom of this lift.

I am now the Telecommunications Specialist for this resort. I had to move my fam down from Idaho to take the job. We live in Sandy now. We feel like the Lord has lead me up to this. When I lost my job over a year ago Rhonda and I were devastated. We moved to Idaho to be closer to family. The problem was there weren't any good paying jobs willing to hire me. I took a telecom job at Center Partners for very little pay. I figured it was just good to have a job over getting unemployment each week. Well I worked that job for ten months and learned what take others 3 years to learn about telecommunications. My boss was VERY pleased with my progress. For all his trying he couldn't get the company to give me or the other telecom techs a raise. We were so underpaid that the Fed Gov came and after auditing them they said either pay us techs more or get fined. The company decided to wait for the Gov to fine them.

Well, Once I knew I was going nowhere fast I applied to this current job. They were so impressed that they created a position just for me and gave me a $15,000/yr raise to come work for them. So here we are back in utah and grateful for our blessings.

This job has great perks as well. I get to ski the mountain for free, they will train me on snowmobiles, All restaurants and retail stores are 30% off for me, and it's a year around job. I maintain the phone system, the fiber and copper cabling, for 4 hotels, 7 restaurants, a chain of retail stores, a small call center, and several real-estate offices that cater to the filthy rich property owners.

Anyway, Rhonda and the kids are well. Aaron is 3 now, Isabel is 22 months, and Jarom is due in April. It's a pretty easy pregnancy so for for Rhonda. She is so excited for Jarom to come. I am too.

Well, take care everyone. We love you all and God bless!
