Everything's Bigger in Texas!!


On January 9 and 10th, I travelled to Austin for the Texas Senior Beta Convention! My mom came with me, and I we had a great time! There were seven vi sting officers, plus Blake, Sam and Eric, the three Texas officers. Sometimes I forget just how much I miss these guys!


Austin is a pretty awesome city; During a few hours of free time, I had the chance to walk around and get a feel for the downtown area. It was my first time being in Texas, and I love it!


I spoke during the second session, right before Clayton King, the guest speaker, came on stage. He's one of my favorite speakers and he, like always, brought the house down. You can check out his website at http://www.claytonking.com/.


I must admit, I was impressed; Texas has talent! The competitions, talent and campaigns were amazing! It was a lot of fun to watch how other states go about their campaigning process. Plus, the skits were really cute! Congrats to Derek Meyer, Andrew Crosswhite, and Valerie Manning-- the new incoming state officers for Texas!


I hope everyone is gearing up for our convention in March! Can't wait to see you in Branson!
