hail the conquering hero

Thad is home! It has been a long 4 days. But it seems that it was worth it. Thad's team took 1st place for the heavy civil division, and 4 other BYU teams took 1st's in their divisions. The recruiters were all very impressed and anxious to be talking to the BYU guys. I wasn't wild about this competition thing before, but it turns out that it is quite the bargaining chip now for job offers. The companies know who Thad is and a bunch offered to fly him out(to their offices) for interviews in the next couple of weeks. Now Thad just has decide who he wants to talk to. The only downside to the winning is that he now has to go to Nationals in Texas mid-march. And with flying different places on weekends for interviews I'm gonna get ditched a lot in the near future. oh well, it's worth it if Thad finds a job with a co he really likes.

um. i think i hear a little bit of whining in that last post. maybe you can complain when he leaves for 4 days at a time, EVERY week! :) lol, actually it really wasn't that bad when i first got here. it went by real fast, but it sucks so much more now. and everytime he leaves it just gets worse! but i am glad that you survived with andi. looks like you two will get alot more alone time together over the next couple months :) tell thad congrats!
