Sunstone Panel

Yesterday I was on a "Young Scholars in Mormon Studies" panel at the Sunstone Symposium in Salt Lake. It was a great experience and a privilege. Sunstone is a unique little society that has traditionally had a "fringe-y" reputation in Mormon Studies, but over the past decade it has become more respected and its contributions more solid. The theme this year was "Celebrating Mormon Women's Contributions to Church and Culture." This picture is of me and the lovely Elizabeth--we were the only two women on the panel.

Reunited!

The last time Anja and I saw each other we were waving goodbye after EFY in Kansas City twelve long years ago! Thanks to facebook, we were reunited two weeks ago! (I'm a lil slow in blog posting!) What a blessing to find old friends! :)

Deer Valley Music Festival

On August 1st, Kyle and I went to the Deer Valley Music Festival where we heard Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture to the boom of real cannons! Deer Valley is the summer home of the Utah Symphony and is right near Park City. It is a fantastic tradition...audience members bring picnic dinners and dine in the fresh outdoors to fantastic tunes! It goes all summer long. We had a blast. And played Mindtrap while eating dark chocolate. Yum!
