There are definitely some great perks to being in the program though. For example, there is always some kind of event going on with free dinner or free lunch and we get to go to fun events and listen to great lectures. Two Fridays ago we got to do the "Pit Crew Challenge". A race car team from Canada goes around the country giving motivational lectures to different corporate companies and to a few selected Universities, BYU being one of them. So we got to break up into teams and take turns changing the tires of a real race car as fast as we could. I was the chief executive for my team, which basically meant that I didn't get to do anything awesome, I just made sure everything was going according to plan (I even had a clipboard to make me look official). It was a pretty fun experience.
Here are some pictures of the Pit Crew Challenge--I'm the one in the jumpsuit. I looked like a baller hahahaha
This was my team. The guy standing next to me was on my co-ed soccer team last winter. He's the bomb.
This past Tuesday President Hinckley spoke for the weekly devotional at BYU. Of course it was amazing, as always, to hear him speak in person. My favorite part is the incredible spirit you feel as he walks into the Marriot Center, there is no way to deny he is a Prophet of the Lord. He spoke on the Thirteenth Article of Faith, emphasizing the first line of being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men. It was great!!! I feel so blessed to be able to attend BYU.Also, Friday night I went to the homecoming spectacular which is a huge performance of all the great performing groups at BYU. For the whole second half of the show the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performed along with the Orchestra at Temple Square. It was awesome. I saw Brody on the big screen a few times, and Heidi watched him through her binoculars hahahaha.
Those are a few of the big events that have been going on for me lately. I'll be sure to post more pictures next time. I love you all!!

Great pictures, Sara. The pit crew sounds really fun. I'm glad to hear you are grateful to go to BYU. It is a pretty awesome school. Keep up the hard work. It will pay off in the end. Just a reminder, I'm still taking classes. It's great to be learning everyday.
I like the pictures. I'm glad you were wearing your pink gardening shoes while you were in the pit crew. I bet dad was proud. How is it being the only girl? I bet all the guys want to see the junk in your trunk.
Looks like you were having a lot of fun. Who is the short guy. I am sorry that accounting takes so much time. It will be fun to see you this coming week.
I like your guess about PHD. You are definitely one of the favorites. I owe you a dinner even though the guess is not correct.
Pink dad shoes! You must be an accountant. I want to hear Pres. Hinckley speak in person. That's so awesome. We miss you here. Hang in there - you're so smart and you'll do great. Love ya.
Why are you brown nosing dad, you know you'll never be the favorite.
The short guy is definetly a winner Sara...haha. Marry him, please! Maybe he wants to see the junk in your trunk.
Sara, you are the bomb! Probably the best pit stopper (is that what they're called?) in the world. Also, you are going to be the best accountant BYU has ever seen...I feel it in my bones..and they are usually pretty accurate. I hope we can go to another Real game...I think we should paint our faces..sounds fun, right? And tour the cool houses..we should probably start our own fraternity!
