i'm off

to women's conference.  20,000 women on the campus of byu.  all women who just want to be better...as wives, mothers, daughters and friends.  it is an event that fills my depleted reservoir.  it makes me want to be good and do good.  it makes me want to try harder.  it confirms to me that there is still goodness in the world.  it gives me an opportunity to serve others.  and it reminds me of all that i have to be grateful for. 

and i get to go with these fabulous women (and shannon too but i couldn't find a new picture of all of us.)

even if they are skinnier and younger.

i still love them.

that's another thing that women's conference teaches me.

i am me.  and they are they.

and that's ok.

i came, i went, i conquered

thanksgiving 2009

dave and jen's.

yummy food, great company, needed nap.

(we demolished tom...nary a morsel left.)

thank you dave and jen for hosting.

it was a great day of thanksgiving.

 

next up...target.

2:45am.

about 50 people in line in front of me.

target took pity on us and passed out candy.

thank you target.

but next year you might want to consider some hot chocolate.

it was craazzzzy.

some people were quite grumpy.

(note to world:  if you are going to be a grump on black friday...stay home.  the lines will be long and you might not get what you want.  deal with it.)

i conquered and i scored.

woot!  woot!

now i think i'll go to bed.

p.s.  for my posterity, the boy i live with ditched me for a chance at a whitetail deer.

the checkbook will reflect this injustice.
