October has been crazy and full of fun! I'm engaged, Curtis Martin (founder of FOCUS) came to ASU, and it's officially fall in AZ (it's in the 80's)! So an updated on our engagement is that we have a date, May 31, 2014 and have taken our engagement pictures. It's all very exciting.  Curtis Martin, president and founder of FOCUS came to ASU! It was such a huge honor to have him here on campus. He spoke at a Newman event called Spark Your Faith. I was emcee for the night and Curtis spoke on how the college campus is the epicenter...

Saying "YES"

Typically my blog is used to keep everyone up-to-date on my work as a missionary, but last night my wonderful boyfriend (now fiancé), James, asked me to marry him! EVERYONE keeps asking me how he did it and for the story behind the ring, so here it goes...

I remember being on campus for the first time as a missionary last year and being completely scared...well, nothing has changed. 15,000 freshman isn't exactly comforting! haha. I do feel more prepared and more excited than ever to be working with all the women I had last year.  Here's a run-down of what's been going on: Playing Shaving Cream Baseball with around 50 students...

Returning to the Desert.

Hello friends! I've had an incredibly busy summer thus far, but also a very blessed one. I will be returning to Arizona State University this fall to complete year #2 as a missionary! Hooray! I cannot wait to see what God has planned for me and the students. Well, I just returned home to Oklahoma about a week ago. I spent 6 weeks at Ave Maria, Florida for missionary training. A lot of interesting things happened to me while there, one being, that I'm the new Team Director for ASU! Basically, I lead the team of missionaries that will...
