We had a beautiful morning then all of a sudden it started to hail
They were larger than a pea, but smaller that a dime
The yard was covered in white little balls of ice

Women's Conference at BYU

I loved being on BYU campus once again, walking all over for classes, lectures, service and shopping. I loved being with my mom and my sisters.
I love listening to the Prophet Thomas S. Monson, Sister Beck and Sister Dew also spoke. Amazing to sit and listen to the counsel of the Lords annointed leaders, two days of learning, growing, and desire to do better in my life and for my family life.
We need to Double our efforts in all areas so that we can be ready for the Saviors coming. Read the scripture with more intent, have Family night more regularly and with more preparation, and teach our children so that the MTC is a review not a revelation. Great experience and plan to go again next year!

We had a concert with Kenneth Cope, Michael MCclene, Hillary Weeks, and other LDS singers, i have a few new cds, need to know how to add music to my blog and I will include them.
And I was able to meet the Friend that is a boy... J'son is a very cute and nice young man. He let us have fun with him and Megan. People in the bookstore kept asking him where things were, they thought he worked there. Just because he sat down in a chair while he waited for the ladies to finish shopping. Thanks Megos for introducing him to me. Tell him HI for me.
While in Utah I stayed with my sister and spent some of my down time playing the Wii with Katie, Aidan, and Connor, needless to say I didn't do very well... I think I need a Wii!
grateful for my sister and her family allowing me to stay for the few days while in Utah.
Thanks sis!!!
Had the chance to drive up to the Newest Temple in Utah, the Quiarrh(sp?) Mountain Temple
Can't wait to see it finished looked like it would be a pretty good size
