Back to School!
Sep. 01, 2010
Hello Everyone!
Well it is time to get the back packs ready and the pencils sharpened for another great year! This time of year gets me very excited because it means chapter visits and Sectional Leadership Workshops are about to begin!
This week has been very rewarding and I have the pleasure of being at a beautiful lake with my family. I am excited for this weekend to visit the Minnesota State Fair and to congratulate my brother's best friend on his wedding!
I hope everyone has a great week and I can't wait to visit everyone!

What a Scorcher!
Aug. 30, 2010
Hello Everyone!
Well summer is not over yet and it sure proved it because it was a hot one outside today! Yesterday, our officer team and our families gathered at Alicia's house for a very nice picnic and I have to say my mother and I had a very nice time away from all of the boys! I am very excited to see the team again on Wednesday!!
Also, I am so excited to go to lake this week and to go to the Minnesota State Fair to see some great friends!! Have a great week!!
Embrace life!
Aug. 26, 2010
This past week when I have been home I took up a few hours at my job to see everyone again and to soak up some sun! On Wednesday morning I was told by my boss to weed the flower bed (I work at a golf course). As I grumbled at how much I did not want to weed the flower bed I realized something while I was working. Most of the weeds in the flower bed were short but their roots were long and seemed endless.
I believe that is how we live our lives. If anyone has ever heard of Habitudes this may sounds familiar except in a different aspect. The top of the weeds, a.k.a. the leaves, are us and the stems beneath the ground are our families, friends, acquaintances, etc. In our life span we hope to find ourselves, but we should realize that parts of us are connected to other people.
I personally had a huge realization on Wednesday and I now believe every acquaintance I make throughout this year that may or may not become a close friend will leave an impact on my life and I am really fortunate to have that opportunity.
This week has been so busy but the weather has been fantastic! Soak up the sun for the few last days of summer! I can't wait for chapter visits and Sectional Leadership Workshops!!
Have a great weekend!!
Jag Lake
Aug. 22, 2010
This past week I was able to travel north to the beautiful Jag Lake!! It was a lot of fun and really enjoyable to be able to spend the week with my teammates. We learned a lot about each other yet again but it's great because they are my friends so we had a great time! On Friday night we were able to go to Paulding which is a town in the UP. There is a place there where a train track used to be and apparently it is haunted. It is called Pauldings Light where the guy who cued in the trains was hit by one of them. Well, the track is not there anymore but when you go there at night you see a red light which symbolizes the man and then you see a bright white light which symbolizes the train. It is a sight to see! It was so much fun especially when we were walking back and the girls got scared!
This week is going to be a great one! I'm really excited because I get to see some of my close friends and family! Have a great week everyone!
Laugh Out Loud
Aug. 16, 2010
For every day that there is sunshine, there will be days of rain, it's how we dance
within them both that shows our love and pain. Joey Tolbert
Wisconsin State Fair was so much fun!! Most of all I had a fantastic drive home with Amy! Amy brought home baby ducks and chickens so we had company all the way home and we even introduced them to the man working at Kwik Trip and he thought they were awesome! Amy good luck with the babies! Just to let everyone know, Amy will have her babies on her blog so I would definitely check that out! I think everyone should be able to laugh at their lives because it makes life so much more enjoyable. Also, you make so many more memories and enjoy the people in your life.
Well these last few days have gone by so fast! I had so much fun at the Wisconsin State Fair!! Thank you to the FFA chapters and members that helped out in the Discovery Barnyard. It was nice to meet everyone! Tomorrow we are off to our retreat in Jag Lake and I have to say I'm excited! Have a great week everyone!
Find the Beauty Within...
Aug. 12, 2010
Hello Everyone from the Wisconsin State Fair!! This week has been a very busy one. If you would like to visit with our state officer team you will best find us either in the Ag. Oasis Building or the Discovery Barnyard. We would love for you to visit the State Fair! This week has been exciting because we have had two sows give birth to piglets!! The Veggie Races are again a bit hit and the children love them!
I would like everyone to take some time this week or even this weekend to find yourselves. Reflect on what you have accomplished or what you think you should accomplish. Basically, take time for yourself to rejuvenate, find the true beauty from within. You will feel more confident and happy. So have fun this week and visit state fair!!
Dream Big
Aug. 09, 2010
"Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe. -Gail Devers
This quote is a very powerful quote and I believe it really speaks the truth. In order to accomplish your dreams you have to have your faith and it requires a lot of hard work. Once you reach your dream though you should look back at where your path took you. You should see ideas in a new light and hopefully this path was a great one!
P.S. Come and visit State Fair!!
Enjoy your summer!
Aug. 07, 2010

Fair Season!
Aug. 03, 2010
Congratulations to everyone who participated in the Buffalo and Eau Claire County Fair! I showed my pig for the last year this year, it was a bitter sweet show! I do have to say congratulations to my little brother for winning championship showmanship for the beginner class! I was very proud of him!
Anyways, I hope everyone had a great fair season or if you have not had your fair yet, good luck! Fair season is so much fun and a great time to catch up with old friends and make new ones!
I am very excited for State Fair coming up this week! I hope to see some great shows and see some fantastic people! Have a great week everyone!
Smile!
Jul. 25, 2010
Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day. ~Quoted in P.S. I Love You, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
How many times a day do we smile? Is it to little? Or to much? I truly believe smiling leads to a very happy life and with every smile you give away you can make someone's day. I really started to think about this because a few years ago I learned this very well. I learned that a smile can mean many different things but mainly it means character. So when you go through this week, no matter what you do, wear a smile on your face. :)
Farm Technology Days
Jul. 22, 2010
This year's Farm Technology days, hosted by the Peterson Dairy Farm in River Falls, was a great success even through the rain. Cory and I were able to work the Safe Tractor Driving Contest! It was a ton of fun and I learned a lot. Congratulations to the finalists from each section and those who won the contest! Also, congratulations to the winners of the Soils Judging Contest! It was awesome to see the field demonstrations! We definitely have a bright future in front of us for agriculture! Have a great weekend everyone!

Springfield, Illinois
Jul. 11, 2010
Hello to Everyone! This last week our team was in Springfield, Illinois for the National Leadership Conference for State Officers! We were able to learn about our team and how each of our strengths equals out to a great team. At the conference we were joined by the state officer teams from Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Missouri along with Alexandria Henry and Chelsea Doss. We had great week learning about issues and people from other states. All in all I came home with many great friends and a bunch of knowledge.
On Monday, June 12, 2010, Anna, Amy, and I will be attending the Northwest Golf Outing at Wildridge Golf Course in Eau Claire. I am very excited for tomorrow!
