Ascendant Leader Award

Curtis received a really great award this spring, which got lost somewhere in between the crazy flights to Utah and back, and the laundry- always the laundry. Late last year, Curtis was invited to speak at the annual OB/HR conference in March. Just that alone was really cool. When he got a few phone calls from one of professors a few months later, he quickly got his presentation material submitted. But the reason for the call was actually to let him know that he had been nominated for a recognition award that he was going to be given at the conference. The amazing part was that Steven Covey would also be receiving an award at the same banquet. Sandy was able to fly out and take care of the kids for us.


                        Mom and Dave were able to drive down from Pocatello to be there. Steven Covey was              given the Dyer Distinguised Alumni Award.


Krisen DeTienne gave a very nice bio of Curtis and what he has been doing since he graduated in 2004.         She also made us the parents of 6 instead of 5! Oi vey!

                                                   Curtis said a few funny, humble words.

                           Grumpy had a duo fold mission in Utah- Curtis and new baby Juliet.

                                                              Me, mom, and Dave

                                                                 Me and my love.


Paul and Jane were up for the weekend as well. We had so much fun bowling, eating, and just hanging out with everyone.
                                                           Me, Noelle, and Milo

And best of all we got to be there for our new little niece's blessing. Juliet is so sweet. Good work Joel and Sara!! We also found out that Jane and Paul are expecting a baby in October!! Yay!!
