A Big Deal

standing in his future office at the new gym

as you should all be aware, the company my husband works for, Momentum Climbing is opening a new location this fall in Lehi (about 45 seconds from where I work, which is such a lucky coincidence). For the past several months, Devin has been completely and utterly consumed with Momentem Lehi. it's been a very cool, very tiring, very eye-opening experience for each of us (clearly, more so for him) and I have seriously gained so much respect for Devin through this process. He has been so professional and he's been making about 90% of the major decisions for this gym as it's being built and it feels pretty cool to be married to the big man on campus. His boss has already moved on to the next big thing for the gym, so everything was sort of dropped in Devin's lap which is a) a little freaky and panic-inducing, but b) pretty freaking awesome to know he's trusted with such a huge thing. Devin is down at the gym almost every day as the opening day gets closer, making executive decisions with the contractor, going through samples, discussing blueprints and floor plans, and making sure everyone is doing their job. I've always admired Devin's work ethic and his professionalism, but this experience has taken it to the next level, not to mention, the kind of opportunities he's getting with this position, before he's even got his degree, is putting him leaps and bounds ahead of the other people in his program at UVU, and he's gaining a lot of valuable skills, and he's networking and building relationships with people and he's really opened the door for himself to be able to do whatever he wants in the future, and he's become an irreplaceable asset along the way. I said this in an instagram post recently, that I think it's a little petty to brag about your spouse, but he's kind of a big deal.
