Working Girl

Early this month I started a new job coordinating the Utah Scholars program. I'm working with an office full of rising stars - the Commissioner of Higher Education and the Board of Regents. It feels great to finally be in a field where I can use my degree , and it feels even better to be a part of such a great cause. Go to utahscholars.org to learn more. (I'm working on the website now, it should be up by early September)
Here is my advice, now a seasoned veteran with 1 year of work under my belt: "If you have to be full-time, be sure it's something you love!"

I'm on the Blogwagon

This marks the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Me and my blog.
Makes me think of that jingle for the toy "My buddy":

My friend Heidi is a bloggin fool - I'll attribute her with my catching the Blog Fever!

Beidi meets Bauren

Originally posted on Diva Blog by Heidi

Last night we saw Lauren and her man at the Oakley Rodeo. We felt lucky to finally meet Ben! Great guy Laur, we both really liked him.

We also saw Katie and Scott sitting not too far away, but when I tried to catch up with them after the rodeo I saw her siblings but no Rynearsons! This means I will need to arrange some sort of Diva dinner in the next week or so. I guess I will email everyone about that. I wanted to crop and take out the red eye of the pic above, but my parent's computer does not have that program and we didn't bring our computer from home. O well! Hope you all had a wonderful Fourth of July. Tonight we are having a family dinner but fireworks might be a no go since it's pouring rain. What did everyone do to celebrate? -Heid

The Goodbye Gift

Tonight we had a dinner to say farewell to our sweet Diva Taryn. She is off to Virginia as Mike begins law school at George Mason this fall. It was great to see everyone, and especially Katie who is days away from being a mommy!
Tary we'll miss you!

A Three-Hour Tour

Originally posted on Diva Blog



So here are a few pics from Lake Powell- 22 people x 6 days x a 1b/1b houseboat. But I never felt cramped! I had such a blast you guys, Ben has such a fun family. I was one of two guests (ben's sister has a boyf)... so we switched off turns being in the family photo. hee hee.





The other pic was taken after a small prank was played on us. Ben and I stole away to the anchored ski boat, to discuss our future ;), and Ben's older brother zoomed by us in the jet-ski and created a SeaWorld- like tidal wave over the boat. Ben, of course, managed to run for cover; I, however, tried to stay put and duck... notice who's drenched. and on second-look, why the hey does my butt look huge in this pic? yes, I uh think I was sticking it out. why?

I'm still waiting for more pics - I'll post when I have em. Ben had the camera and doesn't quite sense the urgency of the Diva Blog!!!

Blind date magic

Bauren? Len?

Well girls, believe it or not, I have a boyf! Lacey set us up on a blind/blind date back in February, and after a month I finally realized I should hang on to him. He is a great catch! Ben is applying to dental schools for next fall ('07) and currently pursuing a few real estate ideas in the SL area. He's almost 26, served in Taiwan, from Layton, and if you can believe it, I like him more and more each time I see him. :) I'm off to Lake Powell on Wednesday with Ben and the entire Oviatt family, 8 other couples. uh, wish me luck! I'll keep you posted on any and all updates. Don't you just love love?

Divas Graduation

Originally posted on Diva Blog


April 2005: The Divas finally graduate! So great and unexpected that so many of us were able to 'walk' together! There's something so special here... think about it... we all started together, and took our own paths along the way, and finished together. We are blessed - and I don't think for one second that our Diva-hood was just happenstance - there are higher powers at work here.
A few of you are missing, but in a way you were there with us that day. - Laur (now if I can just find some incriminating freshman year pics...)
