Siblings


I need to find a picture of my whole family so I can show off how incredibly blessed I am. My brother and sister are truly my best friends that I couldn't live without. Our spontaneous music videos, outbursts of laughter, and random comments make us one of a kind. We just get each other. With the addition of Jenny to the family, the puzzle has really come together. She couldn't be a better fit. I am definitely happiest when we are all together. One day, as Jonny said, we all have to live by each other so we can bring our kids up to be best friends like us!

Summer Internship

Kiewit Western Company:
Spending my summer as an intern with Kiewit has made for a great summer and even better learning experience. I've had the opportunity to live in Phoenix and Salt Lake City in only 4 months time. I also was apart of this fantastic kickball team, where we had double headers every Wednesday night in Scottsdale. I've met lots of people and have had some good networking opportunities.
I will be graduating in December 2008 with a Bachlors in Construction Management and a Business Minor, along with my Associates Degree in Architectural Technology. My plans are of right now, to return in January as a full time employee to the Salt Lake City area office.

Me, Courtney and Lindsey




Last May 2008, I had to opportunity to travel to another country for the first time. I went to England to be a bridesmaid in my roomate Courtney Menden's wedding. She was married in the Preston Temple and the reception was in Yorkshire. The week that I spent there wasn't quite enough, but I did get to see a tremendous amount of places. I saw castles, and beautiful fields and bridges and architecture. We took a train to London and saw Big Ben, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace, the Shakespeare Globe, Tower of London, and the crown jewels. Some of the place that I went were Knaresborough, Notthingham Castle (yes, like Robin Hood), I was the Sherwood Forest, Manchester, Ripley's Castle, Scarsborough, and Leeds. In the short time that I was there I quickely adjusted to their vocabulary especially when looking for a toliet (not a bathroom).
