Utah

After 2 days in the hospital and 3 blessings for my son Clint actually talked me into going to women's conference. I had planned it earlier last month and canceled when Carson was doing so poor. He was on the up swing or so everyone kept telling me Ü Very Very hard but I figured it could only benefit me at this point. Poor Christine with my on again off again phone calls. But we made it in Utah, the day was brisk and sweater worthy which I love! Trees where blooming with gorgeous flowers and boy are those some beautiful mountains Utah has! I couldn't get over them! We did classes, some shopping, sleeping and some more shopping... ah yes it was awesome. My two highlights, one from each day were... 1st day: Humanitarian work. It is amazing you have hundreds of women standing in line, others busy at work putting together items that go to the needy across the world. Christine and I put together school bags for kids who would probably never have one with out the LDS Church lending a helping hand. I wish I had take a pictures of all the women serving. It was astounding! Day2: Elder Perry of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles. spoke to all the women: Christine and I got crummy seats at first... I didn't even care I was so eager to hear him talk. There were floor seats open that Christine said we should try and get. I asked a lady and Bam! just like that we get the floor! 30 feet away! Superb! He is such a remarkable man. His talk was so insightful and what I was looking for the whole conference! Christine is hilarious and had me cracking up most the trip I love how she says out loud exactly what I am thinking but to afraid to say! She is an example to me and the spirit she brings into our friendship is really pro founding. I can't thank her enough for taking me there and showing me the ropes. Love her. When although it was a fabulous trip it seemed long. I missed my cheeky kid and just wanted to give him some lovin. His smile melts my heart, especially when its because I put it there!
