Women's Conference 
I regretted not going to Women's Conference last year when a group of our friends went up, and I didn't want to miss out again this year. I'm so glad I went, besides the
snow, the classes were good (the ones that I stayed awake in), the dorms were scary and the 12 girls we went with were so much fun. I came back determined to be the best mom ever (which lasted 2 days). My favorite class talked about how important it was to
be there. No matter what you're doing, just focus on that one thing and not let your mind wander about everything else that needs to be done. Here are a few of the highlights (and lowlights) of the trip....taking the same flight as
Nie Nie (we felt like we were in the presence of a celebrity), Chelsea stripping on the plane, cruising around like polygamists in the sweet 15 passenger van, an unnamed roommate (not Chels) who screams in her sleep and we thought she was being attacked, not being able to sleep because it was freezing and we worried about the night screamer and Chelsea was worried I would sleepwalk, wondering how I ever survived a whole year in the cinder block wall dorms, reminiscing about our years at BYU, meeting up with Wes (my high school BFF) and Julie (my good friend and the mom of Kylie's BFF), running into my friend Kandice (and still laughing about the bicycle pump!), going for the "modern look" and hosting our "party", midnight trip to the Creamery, the drama at Los Hermanos, watching the "Last Song" and realizing how old we were when we thought the dad was just as cute as the teenager, Shelly as our "momma bird", Chelsea and her "Slyvania woman with lentil soup" look, poor Julie getting sick, chocolate covered cinnamon bears....yes, chocolate cinnamon bears is a good one to end on.

haha! you always do such a good job capturing the humor--mine was cut and dry since it was so late and I was trying to get to bed! Maybe I'll just cut and paste yours for my blurb book ;)
p.s. I look much more like a terrorist, not sure why you guys thought of Slyvania before you thought of Al Queda!
p.s.s. thank you again for not "sleep standing"...
What a fun and inspring get away. I'm glad you had such a great time. You look so cute in all the pictures! You'll have to tell me more about the stories refered to here. Sounds like you have some interesting things to tell:)
I love it! (Yes, I am actually visiting the blogging world!) Such fun memories. Maybe I'll get really ambitious and do my own conference post after I take my last final next week. Maybe... ;)
Jamie, you are such a cute lady~ or should I say "girl" since I found out how I'm now in the "old" group? haha... So much fun hanging out with you! I miss you! I'm so glad you came!
That looks like a great time! I think I need to plan this for some friends next year. It would be so fun to revisit those doorms- eeek!
I wish we would have known we would both be !!! But I'm glad I got to see you anyway, I felt like I could have talked to you forever in that store. :) I had a great time too and maybe we'll meet up next year. Sometime I want to hear about the Los Hermanos drama and were you there Fri night? It was a really long wait if you did.
