As of yesterday, Kirkman Lindahl is officially hired!
He really was that stoked.
We are extremely excited!
Some details:
He'll be working for a nursing home management company called Ensign, being a nursing home administrator. Ensign owns a lot of nursing homes - some in Texas, some in Utah and Idaho, some in Washington, but most of them are in southern California.
Kirk will do a 6-9 month training program before he becomes an actual administrator. We found out we'll be in southern California, most likely in Orange County for his training at least. After the training is over, they send you somewhere else! (But we're hoping not too far).
When they called him, he forgot to ask when he starts. Probably in May, though.
Not to sound braggy-braggy, but the CEO, who Kirk knows, let him know personally that this is the first time ever that they've hired a new undergrad for this job. Most guys that do this have worked for a few years, or ten, before they even apply.
And the BEST news:
drumroll pleaseee.....
This is our LAST real "winter" (meaning with snow and freezing temperatures) ever!
Hallelujah. Bring on the sunshine.
But really, we are just beyond grateful for this opportunity. Grateful that Kirk can get a job, and that it means we'll be close to both of our families.
Now to just get through this last semester!
It definitely pays to have connections! Way to go Kirk.
ReplyDeleteCasey and I are very excited. We expect to see a lot of you guys. Will you be living with the Lindahls for awhile?
Congratulations! Are you one of my kids? I can't remember. Are you the one who left your dog behind? Come and get him.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Now I can live the childless SoCal life vicariously through your blog. I'm insanely jealous. Good job Kirk!!
ReplyDeletefelicitaciones! I'm so happy for you both and for me. Way to go Kirk.
ReplyDeleteLove the blog. Keep it up.
Congratulations!! That is really awesome.
ReplyDeleteThere will come a point in your life, sometime, where you will miss the snow... a little, for just a fleeting moment, but it'll happen :)
So exciting Kell! I'm jealous for a few reasons... 1. Kirk is done with school, I'm pretty sure Conryd has like a million years left until he gets his Ph D. 2. You're going to CA 3. You get to be close to family and 4. You're going to be in CA!!! Congratulations and I'm so glad you FINALLY got a blog! Now you're not allowed to slack on updating it okay? Miss you!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Kirk and Kelli! We will miss you guys. We should get together a few times before you leave.
ReplyDeleteNice work, Kirkman.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. We are real excited to be returning to the warm weather year round.
