That's A Wrap

Where do I even start?

I moved back to Utah at the beginning of the summer, so June, and now, I am waiting in the airport to fly back down South for the break. I have no idea where the time even went.

I was in school this summer too and needless to say it was a very challenging semester for me. I ended up taking a lot heavier of a course load then I expected and well, I finished up with finals today! I learned so much and I would not trade the grades for my knowledge, but I am definitely so happy to be done with academia for a few weeks...

On top of school, I was trying to be spontaneous and have a crazy fun summer AND get started with BYUSA. I'm pretty sure I already said most of posts now will be all about the office and the super awesome people in there, so I'll just say I have something that I am excited to come back to Utah for.

There is something about this summer that I am having a hard time describing. I don't know what words to use. Coming back to Utah with all my freshman year friends off on missions and married was very intimidating, but I know that everything I did and everyone I met this summer were a Godsend. So shoutout to those people that make everything I do meaningful.

Until next summer.

SUNKISSED

WE HAD OUR FIRST EVENT AND IT ROCKED!!

We, as in the activities crew or the A-team, and first event, as in Summer Practicum! Basically, our VP was our event lead and these rest of executive directors were committee members. We used it as training and as a way to learn how to work together, learn the paperwork, and throw a big event all together.

And it rocked.

We had water kickball, a huge twister game, sickening watermelon eating contests, volleyball, a great DJ (the Cooper Brown), a water slip'n'slide, and Zorb falls (aka the best work out ever).

But, that's the event. Now you are going to hear all about the lovely A-team and BYUSA for literally the rest of the year, so might as well give you the run down now.

Hayley- our VP and our fearless leader. She is the best. That is all you need to know. She knows her stuff and is in rec management too and is a friggin rockstar. She is also my long lost cousin no doubt.

Rachel or Buggs- executive director of events and the cutest, blondest, funnest, best snapchat storys-est person. She makes life interesting. And she is going to rock out on every single one of her events this year.

Tyler or Ty- another executive director of events. He has never kissed a girl and always makes us laugh. He is also one of the most truly kind people on the team. Like we want to punch him sometimes because he is too sweet.

Alex- executive director of advertising. otherwise known as Diva. that is literally all. Oh and fun fact- ask him for his weird, scary voice he does. You will be surprised. Maybe in a good way.

Sam- executive director of HR. the guy who slaves away to find us awesome event leads, committee members, and volunteers to work with. He is so so hardworking and is always trying to make every event and meeting the best it can be. He is such a positive guy and I love it.

Then there's me. And can I just say how great our team is? I love how close we all are and how dedicated every single person is to what we do. It really will be a fantastic year, I can feel it in my bones. And out of the 22 events we do, you will get to hear all about at least 7 of them. And you are going to love it.

Stay sun kissed.
