Women's Conference 2008

I had the opportunity to attend women's conference this year with a bunch of women in my ward & other friends in our stake. This was my first time attending & I am so glad I made the effort to go , I came home feeling so uplifted & recommited! The closing remarks were given from our dear Prophet, what an amazing experience. As he walked into the Marriot center, it became absolutely silent & all the women began singing, "We thank thee oh God for a Prophet". The spirit was so strong, I could hardly compose myself. I am so grateful for this Gospel & for the MANY blessings I have. I had such a great time with all my friends, thanks for a great weekend ladies!
I cannot forget to mention how grateful I am to my husband for keeping the fort down & never complaining about taking over ALL my duties, so I could enjoy myself. Thanks babe.                       
                         Eating @ Tucano's                      
                    Shopping @ Gateway                         
                       Hope, Jeanne & Me                             
    These tulips were all over BYU campus, they were so beautiful that they looked fake!
                       Waiting to catch the shuttle on the 1st day, it was sooo COLD! 
                                 Still Freezing!                      
            We stayed up late every night playing cards, talking, talking & more talking!
                    One of these nights it was 3 a.m. when i looked @ the clock last!
                                  Thanks for being patient with all the pictures girls
     Pres. Monson stands  & waits for everyone to finish singing "We thank thee oh God for a Prophet"
                       His message inspired me to enjoy every moment of every day!
                     Saying goodbye & shaking hands!                  
                                        He waves & gives a thumbs up, so sweet!
