FYI.....Seeing that my boss is the head of photography and all, he sometimes uses me to test out new equipment or techniques. This one was taken expressly for you Daddy, courtesy of Craig and myself. Luf ya!
Yeah, I think I decided that I had a knack for putting together events when i was "called" to organize the sister's conference for my mission. The mission president wanted to give the sister's more leadership oppurtunities. The elder's called me the Sister AP (just because I had permission to leave my area and call who ever I needed). So, I came up with a theme, found some speakers (local members who were amazing) and a luncheon. So usually this is in a cultural with chairs, podium, and some tables maybe with foliage from the church. I am a firm believer in the influence of atmosphere, and using bookshelfs, old books from the institute library, a borrowed lamp and trees, it became an intimate discussion. There are a lot of additional details, but without interupting our missionary work, we managed to pull off something that suprised even me. One of the AP's asked if I would hire out to organize their monthly mission office meeting and luncheon. Something about the stress of the deadline, making sure all the details are in place and then watching people enjoy it all puts me in my element. That and photography (so I guess I could photograph the event as well?) Who knows. I have this hairbrained idea of opening my own business someday, but I hate the business side of everything. And then there's Britten, decorator extraordinare, she could probably teach me a thing or two.

Nice picture Sarah!! You are totally your dad's little girl....hehe! ;)
Good luck with your job hunting. An event coordinator, eh? I could see you doing this!
You take wonderful pictures too....could you use this in your desired job? Or do you just want to keep it as a hobby?
