3 Days in St George for an Addiction Conference

Dave and I attended the 2024 Utah Addiction Conference in St George along with 1400 providers and therapists. It was so, so good. I love learning and this conference was packed with information.

Highlights were spending time with our dear friends, Lisa and Lynne, and to learn from my childhood friend and BYU roommate, Shaulee Curtis, as she presented about how her incredible organization is working to give communities around the world mental health tools. We also got to hug Julie Perkins who came to see her daughter present- we love you, Julie!

Fall Break 2024

 

Fall Drive in AF Canyon

Dave, Alyssa, and I enjoyed a beautiful drive up AF Canyon after work/school one day. We had so much fun looking at the leaves and then jumping out for pictures. 

October 2024: An Extended Summer in Utah

Winter cold will be shocking because our fall has been a true extension of summer with October seeing record-high temperatures. Dave and I have enjoyed walks on the trail this year. Gosh--I love where we live!

 

Jody as Guest Lecturer at BYU's 277 Class

I love every opportunity I have to teach BYU classes and share with students the joys and challenges of a career in education. This year was no different, except that fewer and fewer students are choosing a career in education. It is alarming. These classes used to have 25-30; now, 4-6 students.
