New Year

We have had a ton going on over the last month or so, and it has been a little hectic.  Brandon finished up school and graduated with his Bachelors in Information Technology.  He worked very hard and put so much in to school, as well as getting out a lot in return.  (Thankfully)  He has been working 20 hours during each semester, and 40 hours during the summer to support his family.  I have not worked since having Isaac, and I feel very blessed to have a husband who is willing to work so hard to support us.  He has worked for BYU Broadcasting, and has loved it.  He has gained so much experience, and it has been such a blessing.  His schedule was always very flexible, which allowed us to work out our schedules to I could also finish school (with a very demanding degree). 
Throughout his work experience he has had multiple companies he's worked with tell him, "When you're done with school come talk to us about working for us."  Since he graduated he interviewed for one job, and had another interview lined up.  He accepted the first job, so he never went to the second place to interview.  Though they held the position open longer so that he could interview when he got back from vacation.  And since then he talked with another company who he works with at his job, and they said if he hadn't accepted there, they would have hired him on. 
BYU Broadcasting hired him on full time as an IT media engineer.  He manages all their systems that store their data etc.  (That's about my extent of knowledge about what he does.  It's a little technical!) 
I know this is a little bit of bragging, and I'm sorry for those who are offended, but I have to tell the world how proud I am of my husband.  He is such an amazing man, and this is just one aspect of life that shows just a portion of his awesomeness.  In an economy that is struggling to produce jobs, my husband has made himself very valuable and employable.  And yes, we have been very blessed in his employment, and I am so grateful for the blessings that I have!
My husband is an amazing man, and wonderful husband and a loving father!  Congratulations Brandon on being so awesome!

So I'm a little late commenting on this, but I agree - Brandon is amazing. Also what he does is very technical: I got the same degree, and I couldn't keep up with him when he got talking about most of what he did BYUB.
