OH MY HECK! OH MY HECK! OH MY HECK!

Sadness reigns no more.

Today I got a letter -- the most exciting letter I have perhaps ever received in my life. Maybe besides my mission call - but I knew that was coming - so this could be more exciting...

I know - you're thinking - "Oh Amy. You're such an exaggerator."
But! I am not! Ever! :)

Today - the letter. From President Cecil O. Samuelson, President of BYU!


I thought he probably wanted money - but nope.

Maybe he wanted me to be a "mentor." Nope.

Maybe he wanted me to buy season tickets. Nope.

He wanted to invite me to "serve on the 2009 Women's Conference Committee!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

(That's only an exaggeration of exclamation points.)

So! Apparently -- I get to help with the planning of Women's Conference for the next two years!

Guess who speaks at Women's Conference....

Yep!


Well - she did this year anyway and it was WONDERFUL!! (That's her March 2008 CES Fireside which was seriously awesome and life changing for me - see post just posted.) And lots of other wonderful women speak too... I love it, love it, love it!

It's seriously my dream come true to get to be involved. And it came true. Oh. My. Heck.

And it's on May 1, 2009. I love May Day!

So Rise and Shout! And come to Women's Conference next year!

I've got two months until meetings start to get perfect! (I'd better go to bed, so I don't need a cherry coke in the morning!) (maybe I shouldn't write that... maybe they'll read this and officially un-invite me! uh-oh)

Happy! Happy! So, So, So, Happy!!!! Out of my mind super excited happy! So. So. Happy.

April 28, 2008

A long, long time ago...

On April 28, 1998, I left Argentina to come home from my mission!

They have been ten great years! Who could believe they've passed so fast!!!
Here's a synopsis (a brief one picture synopsis) of what my life has been since then...

BYU

(that's me and my BYU Roomie, Sharon, and her grandma during our end of the year Disneyland trip! I didn't have a digital camera then and it's too late to scan pictures right now... but I had some great roommates and great times at BYU!)

Seattle


The Temple


Lots of Old People

(That's my friend Stella, she'll be 100 this year! An amazing woman!!!)

Mexico


Europe


Mexico again


Europe again


Salt Lake City

My condo


Aidan


Young Women


Sister Beck


Grad School
(ok that's us on the way to Dis but these gals have been the best part of grad school for sure!!!)
(and the Hoff... our entertainment on the roadtrip.)

Disneyland

Lots of hair styles(you wish I'd post those! Maybe I will!) and so many good friends and family!











Who could ask for anything more? (well, a husband, maybe....)




It hasn't all been easy, but for ten years now I have been
So Happy.
