March is officially Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month and the color representing this disease is ORANGE! We were honored to do a photo shoot with Heidi Peterson, who was diagnosed with MS in 2015. Her story is an inspiring one as she is an accomplished professional and multi-title pageant winner. We learned from Heidi that often MS goes undiagnosed because the disease can be different for everyone. She's on the cover of our March issue and wearing one of our favorite VanderRose Gowns that is a cheerful orange color. Her full story is in the magazine but we're highlighting some of it here.

As we reflect on the winter season, let me share a personal story from January 2008.  Fresh from my time at BYU Hawaii, I returned to Utah to a snowstorm; yes I shed a few tears missing the sunshine of Oahu. It was a tough transition, but 3 weeks later, I found myself working for Real Salt Lake (RSL), a new expansion team in MLS. What was supposed to be a short stop on my way to law school turned into 5 full MLS seasons at RSL. From managing the move to a new stadium to securing military flyovers for events, I navigated several milestones. Our MLS Cup win, hosting headlining concerts, and ..read more
