". . . Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching comes the changes. . . The tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleanded surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will - to your surprise - miss them profoundly. . . Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey. . . For one day each of us will run out of tomorrows." -Pres. Thomas S. Monson

"Time Out" Weekend!

What amazing event for women! If you haven't heard of it.... it's time you find out! This event is put on by Deseret Book, and they travel the nation with it. The presenters and entertainers are fabulous. Each year they change/rotate, and this time we were blessed with some truly outstanding ones. We had Hilary Weeks & Jenny Jordan Frogley for our entertainment, and some of the presenters were Ardeth Capp, Mark Mabry {Reflections of Christ photographer}, Brent L. Topp, Kim Nelson, and the outstanding Kris Belcher!

It began Friday night, and we decided it would be some much more fun if we stayed the night up in Ogden together! And it was! :) We haven't had a sleepover with just us 3 girls in forever! The next morning we headed back up to Weber State for the rest of the day!
Kris Belcher was my favorite! She has had one amazing journey to tell the world, and some key insights that touch the heartstrings. :) We also got to meet up with Aunt Louise and Emily too! It was so fun to share the event with family!

Thanks mom for making this happen for me and Jennie! We love you so much!

What a fun weekend. I love "girls only" outings. Cherish every moment you have with your mom and sister. My sister just moved to Texas. It makes me so much more grateful for the times we had together.

Sounds so fun. My sister in law and I went to the successful mothering convention on the other end of the valley. Didn't know about that one. Very cool, those are the best times! Just for women.

It sounds like you had a great time. I love listening to stories that are inspiring. The stories make you want to take a chance & make a difference. The best times are hanging out with great women.
