Time Out For Women

I am in Twin Falls for the next week for a girls trip. Lance stayed home to work while I came to play with the girls. My mom had planned for us girls (my mom, sister, and three sister in laws) to go to Time Out For Women in Boise, which she's had planned for well over a year. First of all, I do not care for air planes at all. Lance loves them. He gets a thrill out of them and would fly a plane to work everyday if he could. But I don't care for them at all they make me queasy, uncomfortable, and I turn into a germaphobe. As you can imagine, when I finally arrived in Boise I was very nauseous, had no appetite whatsoever, and the fact that I hadn't seen my family in over a year made my nerves fly through the roof. Yes, I was nervous seeing my family. I'm still not sure why, after all they're my family. The best way I can explain it, is it feels how I would imagine going home from a mission is like. I've been in a complete different world for the past 2.5 years and all of a sudden I come back to the place where I grew up expecting everything to still be the same as when I left. So I was nervous but after some shopping, my nerves settled quite a bit. Ok, I'm still a tiny bit nervous but I'm so excited to be here and most all to have some time off work!

Anyway, today we went to Time Out For Women which I think most of you know what that is but in case you don't, it's a day long seminar type thing specifically for women. There are several speakers and singers who talk about living more virtuous, living to our fullest potential, and growing closer to the Savior. Here are a few pictures of us girls with a few of the youngest babies.

Cute bunch! I was looking at the group shot and trying to figure out which one was your sister and was confused because I think 3 of the girls look like sisters...and you are and your sister are the ones that don't ! haha!

Was Time Out For Women really good? I saw that they are having on in Nashville in November and I really want to go...is it totally worth it?

I super love your hair...so sleek and chic.
