Life Lessons

A very vital lesson that has become extremely crucial in my life as of late...

D&C 58

42. Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more.

43. By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins--behold, he will confess them and forsake them.

Here are some of my favorite events of his:

125th Anniversary of the Metropolitan Opera:

"Instead of over-the-top flowers and dripping crystals, fonts were our muse. Exploded, cropped, varied in type and color, the array of graphics not only provided a wonderful walk through the Opera s historic identities in print but it transformed the tent into a three dimensional collage. Elegant banners gently fluttered above vases and luminaries wrapped with glowing prints from every time period. "

I'm Back.

Ok, so it's definitely been a minute since my last blog....but I'm back!

So much has happened over the last year. Soo....if you haven't been personally updated by me, I'll catch you up.

August:

I chaired the leadership conference here at USU and loved every minute of it. School began, and I started planning my favorite event of all time with my best friend.

September:

Homecoming! Brady and I were in charge of Mr. USU and we totally rocked it. Our theme was "I can go the distance" from Disney's Hercules. It was completely fabulous. I also joined the Alpha Chi Omega Fraternity for women.

October:

Brady, Colie, and I planned the HOWL and what a success that was. We brought in about 6,000 people and made over $80,000.

January:

I turned 21! I finally became a full fledged adult! I also got a job as an event assistant for the Utah State University Research Foundation and Space Dynamics Lab. AND I finally bought a macbook pro (which has become the love of my life).

February:

Declared my candidacy for student office...and began planning.

March:

Lost my election for Programming VP, but was appointed Traditions Director. Also had quite the adventure in Las Vegas and St. George with some of my favorite people.

April:

Chaired the 52nd Annual Robins Awards! It turned out amazing. It was the most gorgeous event I've ever worked on.

May:

SUMMER happened. I moved in with six of my Alpha Chi sisters and my really good Kappa Delta friend Emma.

June:

NEW Car! 1998 Black Audi A4 Quattro.

Those are definitely the highlights of my year...hopefully I'll get better about blogging again.

Love you all.
