I had the chance to be able to leave my kids for a weekend and go to Phoenix with my sister-in-law. I left Thursday night and returned home Sunday night. This was the first time that I had left my family. Talk about a long weekend....I missed my kids and husband tons. I enjoyed myself though. I was able to go to time out for women which was such an uplifting experience. I enjoyed the many talks and the music also. One of my favorite talks was given by Camille Fronk Olson on how to simplify your life. She had a word for each letter in simplify which I have shared below.
S- Stillness
I- Integrity
M- Mercy
P-Prune (like you would do to a tree)
L- Let Go
I- Impossible (to do without God)
F- Fortify (ourselves against hard times)
Y- You
I am going to strive to work on these things in order to simplify my own life. I loved listening to Merrilee Boyack. She brought up some good points on marriage and family. I am really grateful for the blessings that I have in my life and for the Family that I have been blessed with. Which brings me to my next piece of news.......We are having a BOY!!!! We are all so excited and know that we are very blessed to be given this little miracle. He is due the middle of Febuary.

I need to work to implement those things in my life too! Thanks for sharing them.
I am so glad you got to go to Time Out. I went with my mom when I was first married and LOVED it! You come out of there feeling so much better-it's like a mini Women's Conference. I am glad you added a post- I was beginning to wonder if you deserted your blog. Keep it up-it's my only way to see your cute kids for now!
hello-are you still alive? I want to know what's going on in your life!
Hey you-thanks for the comment-I hope you are doing okay. Time really is going by so fast. I think we are going to come home at the beginning of the summer, and we are going to stay in Silver for a little bit, so we'll have to get together-it's going to be here sooner than we know it!
