A Paid Vacation!

So during Dan's second week at Fidelity Investments, he got a call from an HR lady that he had been working with from Credit Suisse. She said there was a job that had opened up that he should apply for. Dan figure, "Hey why not?" So he applied and forwarded some of his work (mind you this work was our financial spread sheets. He had taught himself VBA coding just for fun and so he could implement it.) With in 24 hours he heard back from them and they wanted to interview him the next day. Our heads were spinning. He went in and interviewed. He said the 1st interview had been great and the other two had been so-so. We enjoyed a 3 day weekend ( it was Labor day weekend.) And on Tuesday the HR lady called him and said if he hadn't heard back from anyone by the next day to give her a call. The next day she called him again and said they we going to make an offer to him and asked him for salary expectations and said she would call him the next day with a verbal offer. We were blown away when she called and made the verbal offer. They had given him what he had asked for and MORE! We were shocked! We were going to receive a 50% raise!! Dan continued to go to work for Fidelity until he got the soft copy of the offer in his e-mail and went into work the next day to give his two weeks notice. Much to our joy they sent him home and said he would continue to receive payment for those two weeks. Dan started up on Sept. 19th (his birthday.) His new title at work is Equities Product Controller and we could not be over joyed!!

We are so grateful to The Lord. He has blessed us sooo much. We had faith that he would bless us if we decided to have a family and to put our family before everything else. I have such a testimony in following the commandments and have righteous desires. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for our family!
