BPA SLC

I know, the title has a lot of acronyms....But our BPA State Leadership Conference came to a successful close March 12-14. In the interest of saving time, I will (attempt to) quickly go over the highlights of this trip that was (for me) over a year in the making!...

---------------------

I got to go up to Boise a day early to prepare for the conference, and mom and Hayden were able to come with :) We stayed at the nicest hotel in Boise, and Hayden was able to see just what goes on "behind the scenes." One of the highlights of that day was going to Joe's Crabshack. I thought it smelled disgusting, but Hayden liked his shrimp:

Thursday, while I was in meetings, preparing for the conference, etc., Lacy, mom and Hayden all got to go to the zoo, where they had a fantastic time! :

The National Secondary President attended our conference, which was really cool! He absolutely fell in love with Hayden, calling him the "cutest kid in existance," which is exactly what we think of him, too :)

**Sorry about the weird layout of this picture - I was just too lazy to change it.

Lacy and I both had two competitions to go to. She competed in Advanced Spreadsheet, and I competed in Extemporaneous Speech. Then, we both did an Economic Research Project Team.

All of our hard work ended up paying off, too - we placed 1st at state with our Econ. Project, beating out fourteen other teams from around Idaho!!!!!

I also placed 1st in the state in my Extemporaneous speech (a huge surprise that I wasn't expecting!).

So Lacy and I will both make the trip to Dallas, Texas in May for the National Leadership Conference!!!! We're most excited about getting to go to Six Flags Over Texas, which is the national special event this year!!!

It was really depressing for me to leave my position and my officer team, but the loss was made sweeter by the fact that I have one last BPA trip to look forward to - and this time, Lacy can go too!! May 5th cannot come fast enough!

#1

Today, Lacy and Carlie competed in a National History Day Competition. The theme for the competition was an important individual in history. They chose to do theirs on Dwight D. Eisenhower. They saved it to the very last minute and did most of their project last night! They presented their board in front of judges and then were asked questions about it. The girls competed against about 20 other groups, and ended up placing 1st. Great job girls!
