KINDERGARTEN

Parker had his very first day of school!!!!

He is going to Thomas Edison Charter School, and is loving every minute of it.

Here are some pic's of the day.

Outside the doors of his school!

I also organized a trip for finance and marketing students to NYC. We went to Bloomberg broadcast, Time Inc., Michael Kors, Shady Records, and Coltrin & Associates. I am super excited about the job opportunities that are available to me out there, it's exciting to think next year I could be anywhere!

Ann (the other faculty lead for the trip, and the women with all the connections), Brittany and I stayed the weekend in NY to play and enjoy the city. What didn't we do? We hit the museums, went dancing, shopping, restaurants, and toured every neighborhood for apartments!

July 24th Skate Competition

Directive Skateboard Competition, July 24th 2011.

Haley and I took the boys, (Parker & Stryder) to watch the

skateboard competition. They both quickly got bored with just watching,

and wanted to skate. Jake came and told us no one was

using the bowl during the competition so they could skate there.

They never got of the bowl until it was time to go. Everyone couldn't believe these two cute little boys skating their little hearts out. Hopefully next year they can compete!!

San Francisco & Seattle

San Francisco & Seattle all in one week.

I organized a student career acceleration trip for Utah State University. We started in San Francisco, where we visited San Francisco 49er's, Google, Pertola Pharmaceuticals, Plug N Play Tech Support, and an old friend, Keira.

After two days we flew to Seattle, where we visited Microsoft, ProjectLine, Seattle Seahawks and Sounders, and the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Overall the trip was incredibly successful, and we all made a number of contacts for our future networks in our journey of finding "jobs".

In the evening during our free time Brittany and I had the privilege of hanging out with her aunts. Sheri, the aunt that lives in Seattle took us out on her boat and all around the area, which you can kind of see in some of our photos, she even let me drive her boat!

I stayed the weekend with another one of my BFF's Chalene, and how either of us made it the entire weekend with out one photo is beyond me, but we had a great time catching up. I would be all too lucky to land a job in Seattle so I could be closer to her and her adorable family.
