Was it the hours spent practice interviewing with various classmates?
Was it the many prayers and wishes from family and friends?
Was it the warm breakfast I made him the morning of the interview?
Was it the "lucky" suit?
Was it Greg's ability to shine under immense pressure?
Whatever the cause, we are proud to announce that Greg received the offer to intern at Johnson & Johnson this Summer! We couldn't be more thrilled (especially this being our last really good option). So come May we will be moving to New Jersey, the fifth state we have lived in since we got married. We will be an hour from New York and an hour from Philadelphia. We can't wait for visitors!
Just for the record, this job was not due to any lucky suits or warm breakfasts, but was clear that a higher power was definitely in control. We are truly grateful!

Alright Greg!! Way to be big guy, we knew you had it in you. How long are you in Jersey for, just the summer? Maybe we can plan to come up from VA, and you and I can spend our birthday together.
Yes, this effort has now been Validated!

How exciting!! Congratulations Greg. We find ourselves in that area from time to time and would love to visit! What an adventure. It makes me want to get out of Utah... :)

Jersey will be so much fun! Think of all the fun trips you get to go on. And working for Johnson's? Think of all the free samples of baby wash! Sounds like the perfect place! Congrats!

Congratulations Greg and Heidi! That sounds like it will be a great experience! Will you be there May through August? How's the potty training? Those posts made me smile too. I can't believe Jackson is getting that old already!

Congrats guys! One of Holly's old roommates moved to New Jersey with her husband, and she just remembered he works for Johnson and Johnson too! I think he does graphic design for them. Maybe you'll be in their ward. If you need help finding a place to rent or you just have general questions about the area, we can definitely put you in touch with them. Let me know.
Again, congrats, that's awesome news!
