Well, I finally found time out for another year of Time Out For Women with a few friends of mine this weekend. We all forgot our camera's or I would have posted a picture with Hilary Weeks. We took off to Pocatello Friday for the performance Friday night and stayed overnight at a hotel then went back for the presentation on Sat. I was a little concerned leaving everything else that needed to be done at home, but so grateful that I was able to go despite the fact that it was freezing in the building. They had some good speakers and amazing uplifting music by Hilary Week, Jenny Jordan Frogley, and Abe Mills from Jericho Road. During one of the speakers who was talking about finding humor in dealing with life, I got a text from my husband saying that the hail and rain had ripped apart our new swing set he had put together for the kids just 2 wks ago. I was devestated and really did try to find a way to find humor in the situation.
I had a lot of fun with my friends engaging in laughter, relaxation, and some tears. I was once again reminded how much I love good wholesome music. It truly can change the way I feel and think. I also learned that as women in the gospel and women in general we often carry similar burdens; however, I also learned that among those burderns, life is good and we never have to carry things alone. I am grateful for the time I was able to get away and thankful for a good husband who with out any grumbling took care of our kids overnight, even folded some laundry, and I had a clean sink.

What a beautiful family you have! So sorry about your playset. Ours has fallen down twice now from the wind. I guess that is what happens when you don't have many trees. Glad to see that you are doing so well and were able to have some time with your girlfriends. That is always fun.
ReplyDeleteI heard that was awesome. Wish I could have gone. How lucky you are to have such an amazing family.
