Definitely in Provo

Kiley walks by 2 guys.
One guy [obviously] checks her out- up and down.
Then he says (audibly) "No Ring" now facing Kiley: Hi, how are you?

Only in Provo do boys do RING checks before they can even say hi to a girl. Ok, well maybe their intentions are more than just "Hi" but only in Provo will a guy (1) bother to check and (2) say it out loud.

I LOVE G.B.

One of the amazing perks of going to BYU is getting to see General Authorities Speak. This week we were fortunate enough to have President Hinckley speak at our Homecoming Devotional. I was so excited and thought that if I got there a few hours early, I would be able to secure a good seat in the Marriott Center. Too bad Ashley laughed at me and informed me that people sleep over outside the Marriott just to get good seats. My hopes and dreams were crushed... momentarily. Until I realized that my sister has a massive hook up working for a VP of BYU and all.

So basically.... I have the best little sister ever. She totally hooked me up and I sat 2nd row at the Devotional!!! President Hinckley is so so cute and it was awesome to be able to see him that close up. (I could literally see the hairs sticking up on his head!) As he sat down, he was so cute, he put a paper over his eyes to shield the light so he could look out into the audience :) Then, he gave us some great counsel, and applied the principles of the 13th article of faith to our lives. He also congratulated us on our 10 year running hold as the "Stone Cold Sober Campus", and awknowledged the newly awarded #1 ranking for the Marriott's Business Program. As he left, he waved his cane and smiled at us all. Sigh. It was such a sweet experience.

Fully Invested

I never thought I would say this... but I LIVE IN PROVO. Yes, shocking to most who know me, considering I used to spend my time making fun of people that chose to live in this state, but due to circumstances out of my control, I was accepted into this Amazing program at BYU and am now officially a Provo Resident, BYU grad student, and Yes, Fully Invested.

After arriving in Provo Homeless, I was apprehensive about how my new life would unfold. Fortunately I am a very lucky girl and found a place in Highland Park, and even had time to run (ok .... drive) to Park City to buy a suit for my MPA orientation the next day.

The MPA program places everyone in teams of 5 people to work together for the entire semester. Knowing that my team would love me, I was excited to meet them. Of course I have the best team ever, and after washing each others cars we came up with the classic team name, J-POP. School is intense and I've already closed out the Tanner building my first week here, so I'm sure studying will take up a lot of my time. However, I am getting to know Provo already, especially the eating hot spots :)

I have a good feeling about Provo already.
