Time Out 2011

For the past 4 years I have attended Time Out for Women.  I absolutely love attending TOFW... I look forward to it all year.  My great friend Brandi introduced me to it in 2008, when her mom could not attend because of a date change.  I have loved it ever since.  In 2008, I attended 2 TOFW's, one in San Diego and the other in Las Vegas.  In 2009, I went to Redlands, and 2010 was in Las Vegas.  This year I went to St. George Utah, with my 2 sister in laws (Tracy & Rachelle) and my mother in law, Sue.

We had a great time!  I loved EVERY minute of it.  I wish it would have last longer.

We decided to leave earlier than we usually did so, on Thursday night, Tracy, Rachelle and I headed to Las Vegas.  We stayed at Harrah's hotel.  Here is a picture of the hotel.  It is an odd picture, but as we were standing waiting for the valet to bring our car, I looked up and saw this:
We headed to St. George Friday morning. Our goal was to be able to do a session in the St. George Temple before TOFW.  I have wanted to go inside the St. George temple for over 25 years.... it was an amazing experience to serve the Lord in this temple.  Here is a picture that Mike took of the St. George Temple a few years ago.
Friday night was fabulous at TOFW, as was Saturday.  It was so incredibly uplifting.  I cried several times, I truly felt the spirit and the love that we share.
Here are the 4 of us at TOFW.
I can not wait until next year!  I have a few options open as far as where to go, maybe I will have to go more than once!

On a day that my kids aren't fighting and I am not SUPER cranky and tired, I will highlight some of my favorite things from the speakers!
