This past weekend was filled with lots of events.
First off, I got to hang out with my beautiful niece Amanda on Thursday. She took pitty on me and went to Show Low with me. I always love spending time with my nieces and nephews. Then, we had a GREAT time going out on our Friday night date with our good friends the McLaws, Parrys, and Reidheads. We went to Payson and ate at Chile's, went to Wal-Mart, enjoyed each others company, and laughed and laughed!! We are SO blessed to have such AWESOME friends!
Saturday morning I atteneded our stakes womens conference. It was AWESOME!! Here are a few things I learned:
#1 - Patriarch Gillespie spoke on Patriarchal Blessings and getting the most out of them. I loved how he spoke of women of old and the important role they have had on this earth, starting clear back with mother Eve. I learned that I need to read my blessing a whole heck of a lot more!!
#2 - Sister Carmen Shumway spoke on visiting teaching. I learned that if you go within the first 15 days of the month then the Lord is with you while you visit your sisters, if you go from the 16th-25th he is only with you 80%, and if you go the last 5 days of the month you are on your own:)
#3 Brett and Shelly Caldwell were the last speakers and they shared their experience about her battle with face cancer. I missed Bretts talk, but Shelly's was amazing!
I am grateful that I decided to attend the meeting. It was exactly what I needed to get me through at least another 24 hours.
Now moving on...
After the womens conference we headed over to Courtney and Jake's house where we were throwing my niece Jess a surprise baby shower. She was completely surprised! We had a great time visiting and eating great food!! After the shower Shawna and I headed over to Bashas and then to Safeway to do some coupon shopping. We didn't get home til about 7:00pm. It was a much needed get away for me since my hubby had been working in the valley all week. Thanks to my hot honey for watching our crazy kids including a really sick baby! (Miles ran a fever all weekend so I got him in to the dr today and he has a virus. He has nasty soars in the back of his throat and has lost some weight. We hope he gets feeling better soon!)
Then Saturday night I went down and took some prego pics of my beautiful niece Jesse. I haven't ever taken prego pics and I had a lot of fun. She is absolutely beautiful!! We are so excited for her to bring little Lewis Jes(sorry if that's not how you spell it) into this world. He is going to be such a special little guy and I can't wait to get to know him.
