Does Life Ever Slow Down?

I was so looking forward to a relaxing weekend. This is my favorite time of the year. The thought of relaxing and enjoying conference talks is so appealing, but somehow it never slows down for me around this time of the year. I only dream of having nothing else on this weekend. I can only hope for next conference to be less busy! In between the caos I enjoyed every minute of conference. I thought it was so inspiring! Is it just me but it seems to get better each year, maybe I just need it more each year! I could really relate to Sister Dalton when she said that when she got called to her new position she said that she told her self she could "do hard things", but since she has realized that "In the Strength of the Lord she can do all things" That really rang true to me in my life. How true it is that we can do all things with the Lord. I feel this conference was such a message of hope and comfort.
As the prophet put it I really felt the Spirit of the Lord. And I felt inspired to do more and be better. I love this Gospel with all of my heart and feel so blessed to be a member.
In between conferance, running to a baby shower, and priesthood session, Laurisa had a "Light" performance to raise money for breast cancer. She is so entertaining to watch! We got to see her perform her solo.


Reunited after 6 years! My friend Gina and her family moved to Mesa. We were dear friends in St. Louis. Walking buddies every morning! It is so fun to have her in our neck of the woods. We had them over for pizza night after conference! It was so good to spend the night with their family catching up on their lives! I'm so lucky to have such a dear friend as Gina who has inspired me and blessed my life through the years. She is so real and makes you feel like you've known her forever. It was like we were never apart! I'm grateful for good families like the Waddaups
