I say, "Hello!"

Well, hello everyone!

My name is Lauren Ridge, and I suppose you could say that I'm a small-town girl living in a BYU world. I grew up in Springville, Utah, before finally graduating and leaving to attend BYU Idaho. I completed two semesters there before going on a mission to Aguascalientes, Mexico. Needless to say, Mexico now has a very special place in my heart. It was hard to leave, but now I'm excited to be here at BYU! I haven't declared a major yet, but I'm hoping to do so in the near future... when I decide what to do, that is. Until then, I'm eager to learn a lot and enjoy the ride!

Let's see... many professors have asked in their classes for students to share something interesting about themselves, so I suppose I can do that for you too! I currently work for a Mexican vanilla company in Springville and I love chocolate almost as much as being with friends or family. That's pretty much me! Life is great, especially when it includes chocolate. Now, I look forward to meeting you all and enjoying this great winter semester!
