Another side of bacon

It is with great joy that I can say, "I AM EMPLOYED!" It was a long, long, long (did I mention long?) process to find a job, but thank the Lord it finally happened. I just accepted a position at SelectHealth and now Grant and I have another side of bacon to help pay the bills.

SelectHealth is a non-profit health insurance company owned by Intermountain Healthcare, one of the big hospital systems in Utah. I will be working in their communications department as the "Brand Communications Specialist." Most of you are probably wondering...what does that even mean? Basically, I am in charge of managing how the brand is used, teaching other employees about the brand and how to communicate it to the public, publishing a biweekly employee newsletter, and approving all outside communications (brochures, commercials, etc.) to make sure they represent the brand. It is going to be a new field for me that builds on my public relations and graphic design experience.

As you can imagine, I am really excited. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. My wonderful hubby has champaign waiting in the fridge for us to drink tonight. It is definitely time to celebrate. My mom flies in tomorrow and I have a feeling some more celebrating is in my future. Thank you for all your finding a job prayers, they certainly worked.

I am SO excited for you! I hope that you have goals to put your company's logo on the moon like Will Smith did in Hancock! Way to go!

I am so happy for you. There was a reason why you did not get the last job. God had other (& better) plans for you.

The company that Brandon works for is also called SelectHealth but I don't know if they are the same. You are going to have to send us your first published brochure so we can show it off.

Love, Dad/Ali

Yaay! I knew you were too eminently employable not to have a super cool job. I'm so happy for you.
