Reminiscing

My teammates and I have been in Indianapolis, IN, home of the National FFA Center. The last several days have been crazy. Guess what we have been doing? Yep...you got it, we have been planning for the 81st National FFA Convention. Can you believe it. It is coming along VERY quickly.


To be honest, it boggles my mind that convention is going to be here so soon. There is still so much to do. Are you ready? I know it is going to be an awesome time!


Doing all this convention planning sure takes me down "memory lane." My screen saver on my computer here has a culmination of pictures from throughout the year so far. The ones that really get me are the ones from convention last year, when my teammates and I were elected. Check out some of these photos:

This is when they called my name. I'm pretty sure there was a "thank you" prayer right there. :)

Did you know that Jamie Cecil (former Central Region V.P.) served as the Colorado High Plains District President right before me? And then she served as a state officer 2 years before me, and then she got to install me into this office? Crazy. Jamie has been a good friend since we were kids.



When anyone talks about national convention elections, they always talk about Tyler's reaction and his face during the whole thing. I really think this picture is cool!


When Becky's name was called, she just about plowed me over. Go K-Staters????? I guess thats what it is. :)

From this moment on, our journey began. It has been amazing to say the least:

Can I just say that the six of us are incredibly blessed? Convention seems like just yesterday, but now we are getting ready for it again. I’m not sure I’m qualified to be doing this stuff. But I do sure enjoy it. Anyone ever heard the song Beyond Measure by Jeremy Camp? If not, you’ve gotta download it from iTunes or wherever you get your music from. AWESOME song. I feel like it describes my life.
We are off to California for a few days! I hope everyone’s summers have been swell! Good luck with school starting up again!

Blessings,
MCP
