Michigan!Jake just accepted a job at Ford in Dearborn, Michigan! He got into the 3 year Program Management rotational program!!! Then after the program he'll get to pick which Program Management role he wants to be in long-term.
I know what you're thinking... Utah to Connecticut back to Utah now to Michigan? Wasn't the point of coming back to Provo to avoid the Eastern Time Zone?
Well yes, and no. We moved to Connecticut right after college and it was so wonderful for our marriage. But we were really lonely. We never had both feet firmly planted there. So we moved back to Provo. The time we've had back here has been amazing! I feel like I know the Glauser family so much better and Jake knows the Seaver family. Our relationships are so much stronger and it was such a blessing to be here with a new baby.
For the record, Jake really did try hard to find a job in Utah. In fact, he got a few offers here. But none of them were for jobs that would make him happy and provide opportunities. The Ford job really is a dream come true for Jake. It combines engineering, business, and cars!
Coincidentally this will be round 2 for me in Michigan. During the summer of 2007 I did an internship with Chrysler. Those were the budding months of our relationship. Jake came and visited me (and his sister Carolyn, who was also working at Chrysler at the time). It was during that trip that we said "I love you" the first time. awwww cute!
AND - I just remembered that I got to visit Detroit in the summer of 2005 for a research trip with BYU (we went to the FSAE competition cause we were just starting the FSAE program at BYU).
Jake will start his new job on June 4. So we'll by flying out there in a few weeks to look at houses. We'll try to find one with a great guest bedroom - our door is always open! Please come visit! And in between: Skype!
We are sooooo sad to be leaving our family in Utah, but we are looking forward to our next big adventure!

Awesome!! Congrats you guys!
I'm soooo happy for you but super sad at the same time! We feel very lucky to have been your neighbors during your seemingly short little stay in Provo :) Congratulations!!
Woo-hoo!! Michigan is great! If you are going to be in the Ann Arbor area, let me know and I can hook you up with my BFF, who knows everything and everyone. :-)
That's awesome! That sounds like the perfect job. It'll be sad to be away from family, but fortunately, technology keeps us all closer together.
So do you head out in the summer then?
