What a couple of weeks.

I suppose it's high time that I published something for my readership. You know how it is, you just get busy. Since my last post, I was preparing mentally and physically to go to Women's Conference. It takes so much preparation to leave your family behind and go do something.

I went to Women's Conference with Elizabeth, Valynn, and Julee. Together we comprise the Primary presidency for the Baywood Ward of the Skyline Stake. We prearranged for the Stake Primary presidency to fill in for us, as we would be traveling home on Sunday.

We left on Wednesday morning and stayed at my uncle in-law's place in Springville. He was an excellent host and we were very comfortable there for what little time we spent there. The conference was on Thursday and Friday. We were exhausted as we hoofed it all over the BYU campus to get to the various classes. We lost an hour going to Utah. What a precious gift when we got that hour back when we got home!

Saturday we did the SLC thing. It pretty much rained all day, but we didn't care. We did a session at the Salt Lake Temple, ate lunch at the Joseph Smith building, and perused the shops around Temple Square.

All in all, we had a great time. Then, I got home.



I have begged, cried, wailed, and pleaded that somehow, someday I could come home from somewhere and that my family (read: husband) would bless me with the glorious gift of having filled my place so seamlessly that it would not require me to spend the next week cleaning up what was bequeathed to me. Am I asking too much? I think not since I also had to make up for the 3 days of work that I missed as well.

Heaven help me.

It was a great time in Utah! Can't wait for our next get away. Sorry to hear about your house. At least it was still standing!

Thanks for sharing about your fun weekend. You have a good husband, who loves you. Life has its challenges. At least you got to get away for a few days. That's better than I was ever able to do.

I h-a-t-e(we don't say this word so it is spelled out) coming home to a messy house too! Don't dwell on it though, just take comfort in the fact that he can never live without you!

I LOVE the picture you chose to depict your predicament...I absolutely agree with the state of being the house is in after returning home from being gone. I can't complain, I don't usually come home to a complete disaster because I leave a long list of things for everyone to do while I am gone, with so much to do, no time left for destroying anything...hee hee hee!
