Time Out For Women

Christan flew into Las Vegas from Virginia to join Shellie and I for "Time Out For Women," a 2-day conference for women put on by Deseret Book. Christan had been to one in Virginia last year, and really loved it - so we decided to give the one in Vegas a try. I enjoyed everything, but especially the talk by Chris Belcher, who is blind. You wouldn't think that was a funny subject, but she has learned to find the humor, and her talk was hilarious. We were practically crying, it was so funny. In addition to being funny, the talks were spiritual and uplifting (see below for Shellie's reaction to the especially spiritual ones!), and there was lots of good music performed. We also fit in a pedicure, maternity shopping for Christan, and several yummy restaurants. I LOVED being with "my girls" and I hope we can get Emily to join us next year. It was a spur of the moment decision to do it, so Emily wasn't able to get off work to join us. And, for some reason, Bri couldn't just hop on the next plane from China either! But I'd love to make it an annual tradition to get together and have a special time with my darling daughter and daughter-in-laws. Thanks to Kenny for taking off work to take care of three kids for 4 days so that it could happen
