Dexcellent Adventures

I just went to an International Career Development Conference in Anaheim, California for DEX. It sounds professional- I know. It was. Rhett and I entered into an international marketing competition and placed in the top 12 nationally! We also had a blast!


Rhett, Sharlene, Lisa, Beth, Colleen, Kim and Charles

What is DEX you might be wondering? Well it is a marketing club- An international organization for college students preparing for a variety of careers. Activities promoted by Delta Epsilon Chi integrate with and enhance the student's college curriculum.
The mission of Delta Epsilon Chi (dex) is to serve its diverse international membership as a professional organization, providing leadership and career-oriented opportunities to develop and enhance tomorrow’s leaders.
You should Join! if you are interested let me know!

Wayne Roberts is the best advisor

It was a LONG fun ride. On Tuesday night we went to an Angels game! I love baseball games- it was amazing and they won!



We also went to Universal Studios and it is awesome!

There are a few really cool rides and then a lot about film making- like how they make fires, floods and earthquakes in movies. Sweet!!




We had our opening ceremony for the conference at Universal and a little marketing class.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to live in hotel. It might get kinda old, but for a week it was perfect! Someone making your bed for you, eating out, staying up late, watching tv, laying out by the pool, and best of all meeting new people!! So fun!

Seminars, career fairs, panelists, and workshops filled the next day


We went shopping and ate at ESPN zone and watched the Jazz beat the Lakers- it was so fun!


Me and Rhett after finding out we made it to finalists. Our event was International Marketing.

Awards night

GO SUU!!
6 of the 8 of us got into finals (top 10-12) and Kim got 3rd in Travel and Tourism!
We love each other!
I LOVE CALIFORNIA! we went to the beach- it was kinda windy and cold but we ran in the ocean and played in the sand. They made me a mermaid.
If you can only imagine how fun our 7 hour car ride was with us 3 girls in the back, the 4 boys up front. We were sad to leave but had a GREAT week. I love Lisa and Kim. I love DEX!
We stopped and rode Desperado rollercoaster on our way home. such a rush!!

Missionary Care Packages

Happy Birthday Elder Matthew Romero! One of my best friends is serving his mission in Brazil. Today is his 21st birthday! I got a letter from him and he is doing so well.

Every time I want to send a package I have a hard time thinking of ideas. So if you have a missionary, friend, boyfriend, brother, cousin, or son out there here are some ideas of what you can send him because they LOVE packages. They love food that they cant get in the country they're in, so find that out from a missionary who served there or the distribution center workers might know. Put stickers of Jesus on your packages and they are more likely to arrive unharmed. Good Luck!

Ideas for missionary package:

  • Ties
  • Socks
  • In-soles for shoes
  • shoes
  • batman stickers
  • T-shirt
  • pancake mix and maple syrup
  • Hot tamales or fireballs
  • Lemon heads
  • balloons, birthday candles
  • Marshmallows
  • chocolate
  • pop tarts
  • ranch dressing
  • taco seasoning
  • Root beer extract
  • Brownie, cake, muffin mixes
  • dart guns
  • pick up sticks
  • caramel bars
  • oreo cookies
  • macaroni (or just the cheese)
  • fruit snacks
  • peanut butter
  • CTR rings (to pass out to kids or for him)
  • colored marking pencils
  • small Utah license plate with name on it
  • crystal light
  • razors
  • toothpaste
  • hair gel stuff
  • anything fun and random
  • scriptures, quotes and thoughts
  • handwritten notes
  • PICTURES!!

No im not that nice or rich to send him all that stuff at once, but he has been there for 2 birthdays and 2 christmas and they are just good ideas.

here are some pics of Matt! he is doing so well! He gets home in August. how exciting.



I Love the Missionaries!

This week has been great! I LOVE conference. It is so amazing. My favorite so far was Henry B Eyrings talk. We need to remember to have hope, keep faith and prepare for eternal life. Remember to PAY-IT-FORWARD and continually do service for others with a smile.

Taco Tuesday!! I love you Ashley! and nick, zach and brooke. Funny story: We made cookies afterwards and doubled the batch. I doubled everything....except the flour. I halfed it for some odd reason. Yeah they turned out like buttery pancakes! But we added more flour and they were delish! haha

I love my roommates and Im Excited for summer and next semester. It'll be my first time staying in cedar for the sumer but im excited. I still need a job down here so let me know if you hear of one.

A CHORUS OF DISAPPROVAL
I came home last weekend and saw Caitlyn perform in her crazy play! She did a great job! but i would not recommend this play...it was basically about people singing about disapproved things- like swingers, cheating, gays, etc. (thus the name chorus of disapproval). haha. I left my camera up in salt lake so I cant upload my pics from this night. But thanks mom and Sabrina for going with me. it was fun! I love my family!!
