Life as I knew it...

Here's a quick re-cap:

In January, the semester began. It was by far the craziest, busiest, BEST semester ever.

For three and a half months, I served with these two in the Student Representative Council (SRC) Presidency. Joseph (left) and Neil (right) are awesome. I loved gleaning from their insight and counseling with them several times each week. If you want to experience Zion, work with them.


Highlights of my service includ: meeting Elder D. Todd Christofferson and other Devotional speakers, weekly presidency meetings, weekly one-on-one stewardship reviews, working in the governing councils of the university, working with the university president and vice presidents, and working with an awesome Student Representative Council.

We had an AWESOME council this semester. It has been an awesome experience. I wish I could put it all into words.

(Sorry, I don't have a picture of our council. As soon as I can get my hands on one, I'll post it.)


We also got a new Bishopric (the second week of school). I loved serving for nine months with Bishop Smith and his counselors: Brother Parker and Brother Blacker. This picture was taken the day before they were released. (L to R) Me, Sister & Bro. Parker, Sis. and Bishop Smith, Sis. and Bro. Blacker.

I balanced the schedule of our new bishop, Bishop Johnson for three months, and I loved working with him. I feel blessed for the time I got to work with him.

In March, I helped plan and host Business Summit, an annual event hosted by the College of Business and Communication.

I got some good practice in PR, events planning, and hosting. I was also the student host for James H. Quigley, Global CEO of Deloitte Touche Tomahtsu. Wow! What an incredible experience that was. The man is very talented and very smart. It was an honor to be his guide for the day he was on campus.

April brought on finals and an onslaught of fun. I sang in the General Cenference choir from BYU-Idaho, and finished the semester with some great grades.


Then the fun began with a two week trip to Alaska with BYU-Idaho Collegiate Singers. Pictures to come SOON. But I'll tease you with this one (above) of Homer, AK on an overcast morning. It's still gorgeous!

In the meantime, you can watch us on YouTube: "Collegiate Singers Alaska Tour 2009" by YouTube user "naturallearning." (***Note: because it was recorded on a camcorder, the sound and sight has been compressed and appears less incredible than the live performance)

Then my brother came home. Life is good.
