Kimberly-Clark it is! To Wisconsin we go.


It is official. Jared has accepted a position with Kimberly-Clark and we will be moving to Appleton, Wisconsin after Jared graduates in April. As we understand it, he will be working on the Depend brand again with the same wonderful team that he was on over the summer. We couldn't be more thrilled!! We LOVED our experience there this summer. The area is beautiful, the people wonderful, and the company a perfect fit for Jared's career and our family. We know that this is the right place for our family and have seen the hand of the Lord opening this path to us. We are grateful for the wonderful friends that we have made there and are looking forward to joining them again in a few months.

Congratulations!! How exciting to have a job. Does this mean you'll continue reviewing cheese when you move back there?!?

Shonna said...

Wahoo! Congratulations guys! We are just thrilled for you. What an exciting step in your lives. And 9 hours is much better than 3 days of driving to visit you. (Word to the wise, don't plan to drive through Chicago anywhere near rush hour or else it could end up 11 or 12 hours.) ;)

So nice to have that taken care of and you get to enjoy the rest of this school year stress-free. Hoorah for the midwest....I might need some convincing before Arkansas starts looking better to me. You're so positive, maybe it will rub off on me. :-)

You mean that Bruce's dream of Jared coming back with an MBA just went up in smoke? (And mine and Tisa's dreams too?) Congrats though. Go make some big money. And like Cherrybaby, I expect weekly cheese reports for the duration that live there. :)

Congratulations! I'm grateful for cell phones, internet, skype, email, blogs, airplanes, etc . . . or this would be the saddest news I have ever heard!!!

James and Tricia Thomas said...

Congratulations!!! I think your Mom is already planning a trip!:) I hope the cheese review gets it's own website now that you will be living there!

NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! IDAHO FALLS!!! I'm NOT happy. I am throwing a tantrum because I want you to live HERE!!!!!!! Dang it. Humph. I know, all of your other friends are nice and say "hooray!" "Congratulations" blah blah blah. I am selfish and I want you here.

Do you think they need an optometrist in stupid wherever it is you are going that isn't here?
