Time Out for Women

One might find it hard to believe my luck this month as I planned for TWO weekends away in a ROW.  Best husband ever award goes to Blake Marston for allowing it to happen.  I think he was downright scared as I left out of town that second time... knowing full well the challenge that lay ahead of him.  Well... he is wonderful and did a fine job, getting kids to various events, making dinner, and even doing dishes and starting laundry before my return home.  As Evelyn put it... "Dad did a great job! He didn't hardly lose his temper at all!"

And I had such a fantastic trip up to Seattle to attend Time Out for Women with my Mom and sisters.  We stayed in a beautiful hotel, shopped the malls, ate at our favorite restaurants,  and laughed our heads off talking about some pretty strange things that maybe only my sisters, mom and I would find funny.  And we truly enjoyed the conference, entitled "Higher".  It was so inspiring and motivating.  Every speaker and song touched my heart and made me want to do a better job in my daily life.  I am so grateful for my parents for flying me out and for my family for planning such a retreat.  I have a pretty great family... I love them and loved that time we got to spend together.... wonderful in EVERY way!
