hello, i am DELIGHTED to be here. my name is Siri Edwards, and i believe i come from a long ways back then the rest of you. i was at ricks in 1988 and graduated after a mission in texas in 1992. it was the most magnificent experience of my life. in fact, i wrote an essay for the spirit of ricks alumni contest last year but missed the deadline. i would like to post that here sometime. i have so much pride being associate with all of you. i have yet to take off and fly with this due to a recent divorce, but this and the gospel with a faith in Christ are truly my anchors. it was maybe 40 degrees. the bus dropped us off from sacramento into rexburg at 300 am. i got off the bus to absolutely no one. i set foot on that campus and i knew right then my life would be changed, that i was in Heavenly Father's loving care, and that the Gospel of Jesus Christ was true. i was baptized in my teens but was not able to be fully active until Ricks. not sure this is the place for comments. i would love to post a photo. maybe someone can help me out? think the email attached here is eloquentpesantssister@gmail.com.

kind regards to all of you. looks like we are the ground floor of this blog and that is a pleasure too.
Hi all,
ReplyDeleteJohn and I graduated from Ricks back in 98. We loved our time we spent there. We currently live down in Southern California and love having this connection to BYU-I. We are brand new to this and still learning what we can do to help promote this wonderful school. We have 4 kids who we are hoping will also attend BYU-I. Thanks for starting this blog and keeping us connected!
