Me and all of my Student Alumni Friends at the Inaugural Gala. Curtis Isaak, our advisor, Brett Bardsley, Heather Hawkins, David Luker, Joseph Nance, and Matt Daley and dates.

Chris Giovarelli, the Student Alumni Association President asked me to attend the Inaugural Gala for and at the new Hinckley Building. It was the schmooziest event I have ever been to! Being among such prominent people was a new experience, but it was super fun to get all dressed up! The event was limited to the few hundred who were invited to attend the dedication with President Hinckley in June. There was a live band, fireworks, performers, fancy desserts, a professional photographer who took our pictures and we each got a commemerative medallion for attending.

Since it will probably be my last BYU Homecoming, I tried to participate in all the activities. True Blue Football was my favorite! They spray out this thick, foamy, soapy blue stuff and let students go wild in it! 4 days later, I still had blue skin, but it was well worth it!

How many Kings does it take to screw in a light bulb? I helped plan the annual "Hike and Light the Y" activity for Homecoming week. After being a shuttle van driver, Sarah, Em, Jameson, Carrie and I hiked the Y. We got to screw in one of the light bulbs (one of 125 that surround the Y). And just for the record, it took all of us.

Bringing back the tradition of King Cousins' Dinner. Every third Sunday all the Provo Kings get together for some munch and mingle. Guests are welcome. :)

One of our favorite things about Mountainwood is our cute front porch. We love having little dinners on it!

I have the greatest job ever! I am the "administrative vice-president" for the BYU Student Alumni Association. Em and Sarah came to our opening ice-cream social at the new Gordon B. Hinckley building (where I work). I have never been paid to party-plan or scoop ice cream. It is awesome! Our first week I also gave many tours of the new building. I feel so lucky to be working there!

Me, Em, and Alli Clements soaked after getting caught in the pouring rain after meeting our new Bishopric.

Back to BYU...

Happy First Day of School back at BYU! Em and I are living together and I don't think it could get any better. Our cute roommates from Kaysville made us this first day of school breakfast.

I'm home!! So much for keeping you updated in Europe. Let's just say things got really busy. I loved my year in Germany--or Europe for that matter. I travelled to Austria, Italy, Canary Islands (Spain), London, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, France, and Southern Germany. This really changed my life...

A long awaited update...

After an exciting year in Germany and the rest of Europe for that matter, I am now back in Provo soaking up every minute of college life!
