My New Job!

Some of you might know that I have been working since Ty and I got back from our honeymoon on an internship with SUU and the Michael O. Leavitt Center for Politics and Public Service. For the first month there wasn't much for me to do, but now the project we are working on really seems to be picking up and it is so much fun.
I love to work hard and this job is stretching me to all sorts of limits I didn't know I could reach. The jist of it is that there are 53 people who worked during his administration who are now volunteering to write reviews and reports about the public policy they made while in office. For those of you who don't know, I am kind of a policy geek so this stuff really gets me going. Anyway, my job is that I am over one third of these people. I tell them when there are deadlines, I set up their meetings, I run any conferences they are having with their teams, I review their reports for viewing...what I am saying is that I have a big person job. I am in charge of successful adults. It is really weird how much fun I am having, and I hope it isn't telling of my future being somewhat of a control freak right now.
This last week I got to put on my business suits and run around Salt Lake to meetings and lunches. It was so much fun and I am so grateful for this opportunity. The project only took on three interns so I am very lucky to be a part of it.
The best part of the job is that it gives me excuses to go up to Salt Lake on a full expense paid trip. I get to see my family, friends, and it's all for free! BINGO!!! You know us Wilson's love that free stuff.
To my family, I hope that my job makes more sense now. I know that I have been vague on my descriptions and you guys think that I sit around all day twirling my thumbs, but now maybe you know that I am doing something I love and having a ball.

Laura you are so on the right track girl. I am so proud of you and Ty. (I hope that doesn't sound condescending.) You two just have you heads on straight and you'll be successful! We LOVED having you guys at Paden's party. Ty was a big help, and Paden loved the extra attention too. Good luck with your sweet job and hey being a control freak can have it's benefits :) Love you both!!!! (Tyce is sitting here helping me type this.)
