Women's Conference

One of the biggest highlights of the trip was being able to attend Women's conference at BYU with my sisters. My youngest sister Liz wasn't able to come because of work, but me Rachel, Naomi and Sarah all got to attend and I must say it was quite amazing! Sheri Dew spoke at the opening session and talked about the power and the influence we have as women. It was so inspiring. We also went to classes about enjoying motherhood, eliminating distractions in our lives, stress busters, and the temple. I left feeling so uplifted, empowered, grateful, and motivated to be a better person and especially a better mother. It's definitely what I needed as I've been having a little anxiety lately about having another baby. Anyway, I love my sisters and am so glad that we got to spend the whole day together learning and laughing and just enjoying one another's company.

Yea for SISTER get togethers! Look at all you gorgeous girls!! Sounds like the conference was a perfect segway to this upcoming Mother's Day. We all need those great reminders, empowerments, and uplifts!

I had no idea we were in Utah at the same time! I've just been catching up on all the posts I missed while I was gone, and I saw this one and realized it.

We were probably up on campus at the same time, too - I took all my kids to the Bean Museum on Friday, May 2nd, and I hadn't known it was Women's Conference, so I was surprised at all the cars in the parking lot.

I wish we could have seen each other!
