Because I love the Unkown. . .


Hey friends, family, loved ones, and curious browsers who happen upon our humble blog while following links,

(this is Jaron speaking by the by)

After several minutes of serious deliberation, we have chosen (out of three possible job offers) to go work for a company called nhc (lower case letter on purpose-check their site by following the link) aka Northwest Hydraulic Consultants. They, and soon I, do water resource engineering type of working, specifically specializing in the environmental/restoration kind of thing that is big in the northwest. If you really want to see what I'll be up to, check out the website and look at the "List of services" link on their site. They seem to be a very cool company, and best of all have told me they don't need me to start until February or so, so that leaves some post graduation time for traveling, lounging, and other activities. nhc is located in Renton, WA, a smallish town just outside Seattle, (hence the northwest in the name), so we'll be moving there sometime in January. There is a good chance we won't be living at the top of a hill, so we might have to change the blog name.

Is Olivia going with you? Because if not, we'd like to start the bidding . . .

We're so excited and so sad at the same time. What a great opportunity for you guys. Now we'll have a reason to come up to Seattle. Congratulations guys!

Congratulations! You'll have a great adventure. We are excited for you.

And you can still be at the top of the proverbial hill, so the blog name still works!

Congrats!!! That is so exciting. It looks like unless you take a trip to Hawaii we won't be seeing you for a while. So you guys should come to Hawaii. I'm excited for the new adventure for your family. Congrats again Jaron!

Stephanie said...

So I got all excited because I thought that meant you guys would be closer to us(the Joneses). Then Sam said it was actually farther away from us. But I am actually really stoked for you guys and we still want to take a road trip sometime.

Natalie said...

Congratulations, guys! I am so happy for you and I know you'll love the Northwest.

About Me said...

Congrats Jess and Jaron! Graham and I would have loved to have lived in the NW! What a wonderful place to live. We are so happy for you both.

Judy said...

Congrats! That is so exciting!! I've never been to Seattle, so we'll have to come visit you!!

Congrats, Jaron! That means we'll be in the same state, and often times, we'll even be in the same neighborhood (we go out to Seattle every few weeks, and we might be there this summer...and possibly permenantly when Bryce finishes law school). That's exciting for you guys. Let us know if you need anything and for sure let us know when and where you're moving - I'm sure Bryce can give you some info about the area if you need it.
