Rad Husband, Proud Wife

Matt doesn't get nearly enough face time here on this little blog, but he recently accomplished something really cool so I thought I would brag on him for a minute.

My husband builds things.  Well, not just things.  He builds buildings.  Big ones.  Which I think is really cool!  I mean think about it.  When they start there is nothing there, then a few years later, BAM!  A big old building that is going to be there for a LONG time.  I mean, talk about having something to show for all your hard work!  He has been working in construction since we got married 5 1/2 years ago, and it is his passion.  During the last five years he's worked on things like university libraries and buildings, hospitals, even the State Capital building.

Well, about a year and a half ago when Matt graduated from BYU, the company he was already working for hired him on and gave him his first job as a project engineer.  Just last week he finished his first project as a project engineer on a 6 story medical office building!  Behold the awesomeness...

The beginning...


The end result!

So, I am really proud of Matt.  He works really hard and is so good at what he does.  I can't wait to see all the amazing things he will be a part of creating over the years.

**Note: If you want to see this building in person, just look west the next time you are driving on I-15 at about 53rd south.  It's just west of the freeway, right by the University of Phoenix building.

That's so cool! I gotta say, I'm a little jealous. How great would it to be to see all your hard work pay off in such a tangible way? Changing diapers just doesn't do it in the same way :P

So cool! Love this post. I always see his building when we are at Ryan's parents house, and it always makes me think of Matt! (Not in a bad, weird way). Can't wait for tomorrow!!
