Boot camp

Here we go! Off on another crazy adventure! I've decided our life has been one giant roller coaster. But it just continues to go up up up! We aren't too crazy excited to live in the valley because of the traffic and smog but who knows.. maybe we'll end up loving it.

Paul has been talking about coding ever since he took a hard coding class at BYU-Idaho. It was a required class for his accounting major and he never would have taken it if he hadn't first decided to go into accounting. Turned out he loved it and was really, really good at it. He continued to study accounting although he would talk about the idea of switching to coding. so many details so little time... Long story short.. He got an awesome job here in St. George that involved accounting and bookkeeping. How awesome! We thought this was going to be a great opportunity for him to work under a CPA and gain experience. Well it was a great opportunity to learn that accounting is the most boring job on the planet. No doubt about it, Paul is really great at finances.. I think that's why he finds it so boring. Because he solves and completes his work in half the time it takes his co-workers to. It might also be because accounting has no room for creativity. If you know Paul you'd know that he is a creative genius and hiding that behind a list of numbers would be a mistake. Paul is excited to code because it allows him to create anything he wants!

Paul applied to Dev Mountain (a coding boot camp) in Provo and quickly got in. I am so impressed with his skills already. He completely rocked the application and he is ready to take on the heavy load of work for three months. I on the other hand will be very sad to not have my husband's full attention for that time but I know that this will be something that will positively affect us and our future. Wish us luck!
