Ok so I guess i will go again... and again... and again!

So this last weekend my sister got us tickets for a thing called "Time out for women" and I will be very honest and say I really did not want to go- I had never heard of this, cause they have never done it in Utah- this is the first one, and I must tell you, I will never miss a chance to go to another one. It was friday and saturday and it's just some amazing women who come and talk to you, and in a nut shell- kind of like a really fun womens conference. We had the blessing of listening to Sheri Dew (she is amazing!!!), Hilary Weeks (have both her CD's now), Jenny oaks baker ( I will now put McKenna in some musical lesson), Russell M. Nelson's wife (a freaking dorable) and many other wonderful women who I will forever be grateful for being able to listen to. I don't know how many other mothers out there that are like me and feel guilty about doing something non-motherly daily, like going to school, or work, or even on a jog without them with me, but this is just the weekend I needed to know it is ok to have a moment for yourself once in a while, and it is important to do so. I also really realized the love the savior has for me, I guess I am a little embarrased to say I thought sometimes I was a little forgotten, or wasn't as important as others around me, but I really just realized the love he just has for all of us, including little peon ashleigh garza- i am so grateful to know that and have been strenghthened a lot over these last 2 days. I know now I am strong enough to continue to do the daily things I am given, and that I am also not ever alone if I don't think I can handle one more semester. I wish I could have taken everyone of you with me, and please if you have the chance to go to one near you--- please go! look at deseret book and go to tofw link to see if it is near you for next years tour, and if possible go! It sells out really fast, but it is worth every penny! this was the first one in utah, and luckily next year there will be one in ogden and logan- I am tempted to do both- It''s that good, and important in my life!
