TOFW-SLC

This past weekend I was able to go with my sister Sarah to Time out for Women sponsored by Deseret Book. We really wanted to go because our favorite singer Hilary Weeks was the musical person on Sat!! And I wouldn't pass any opportunity to listen to her perform!!! Of course we weren't disappointed! It was overall a very good experience.....we liked most of the speakers and we loved Hilary. Many of the talks were just what I (we) needed to hear and gave me a much needed boost in my life and with the things that I am struggling with. Sometimes you just need to be away from the walks of life to hear what the Lord is trying to tell you!! I forget to do that sometimes and get SO caught up in things that distract me from hearing!!! One speaker truly was inspiring...Kris Belcher told her story about loosing her sight and eye....what a powerful story and makes you think twice about your trials! I saw a long time friend who I hadn't seen for many years and it was fun to catch up on her life! It was fun to spend sometime with Sarah without her 3 year old just like old times!! Thanks for going with me Sarah and John for taking Audrie so that she could have a break!

2 weekends ago Mandy and I took a day to pamper ourselves!!! It was so fun!! We started out with massages......AWESOME and much needed!!! Then we headed to get pedicures and well I decided that I need a manicure as well! It was so nice to be able to relax and just take sometime for ourselves and renew our friendship! We headed to lunch at our favorite place and had a most enjoyable visit over yummy bagel sandwiches! Thanks for needing a break Mandy and inviting me to come along! I have needed a massage for a long time and it has helped a lot in the weeks following! We need to do it again!!!

I love my sisters and mom and the things that we are able to share! I am so blessed to be able to have them as dear friends!!! I know that our family was designed this way for a purpose and I am thankful for their examples, love and support in my life! And their cute kids aren't too bad either! Thanks girls for being so great!! Whose next for a fun Saturday???
