Time Out!

My kids were surprised to find out that I had a time out. Little did they know, my time out was nothing like their time-outs.

I spent the last 2 days in time out..... for women!

Have you ever been?

Oh, I completely recommend it.

I am on a high and I don't want to come down.

I spent friday night and most of saturday sitting with my girlfriends listening to talks by such women as Sherri Dew, Mary Ellen Edmunds, Emily Watts, Kris Belcher, AND Sister Nelson (why can't I remember her name!?) wife of Elder Russel M. Nelson.

We were blessed with beautiful music by violinist extraordinaire: Jenny Oaks Baker (You should see her fingers move!) and the ever talented Hilary Weeks (a personal favorite!)

I wish I could express here what an amazing experience it was. I wish I could've stayed there for days. not only were the talks superb AND I might add, written expressly FOR ME :o) I was able to be there with wonderful girlfriends to visit and talk about our experiences and insights with.

Oh, It was so wonderful!

Please, go get in your own time out- I swear, you really need it! :o)

Yeah, this is a fun time. I went to the same one you did a couple months ago. It was in Pleasanton. I always go with good friends too which makes it way fun.

Elder Nelson's wife is Wendy Watson Nelson. I first became acquainted with her when she was still single and speaking at Women's Conference at BYU. She is a really neat lady. (And by acquainted I mean...from afar.)
