Phase 2 and Politics Week

We have been taking it easy during our last phase of our spring break.  We have enjoyed the beautiful weather so much.  These are some of my favorite days of the entire year.  No more heater running during the day and very little if at all at night.  I love having the windows open, airing things out and the purely delightful cool evenings!




Today I spent half of the day in Orem for the Utah County Republican nominating conference.  It was a very educational experience for me.  I admit that I was a bit nervous when I left this morning, not knowing a thing about what I was doing. I had what homework I could on my own because they entered my email in they system wrong.  But either way,  I managed to get there and sign in and get my credentials by myself. Not soon after that, I gratefully I ran into a girl that I know from Santaquin.  She's done this a couple times and she was so nice to let me go around with her.  She taught me her system of going through the fliers and collecting swag.  I met a lot of the candidates and even shook Mia Loves hand!

I feel like being a delegate is the perfect opportunity for someone like me who doesn't have political aspirations necessarily, but still wants to have a voice!  And the candidates definitely want to hear what the delegates think!! I learned how important it is to be involved at the grass roots level.

It was a long day, and it looks like most of the seats are going to go to primaries this June.
