Countdown to Women's Conference

Several of you have asked if Kristi, Michelle and I are getting together for Women's Conference this year and the answer to that is "definitely yes!" Kristi bought her plane tickets back in January, so we've been counting down to this week since then.


The logistics of life are more complicated this year, so we've set our expectations low (so hard for me to do but I have succeeded!) and will be happy with anything we get.


Kristi has said that Women's Conference is like her personal new year, and I think that may hold true for me as well. Sister Beck's talk from Women's Conference last year seriously changed my thinking and held me up all year long. I need the intense infusion of the Spirit from the great classes at Women's Conference and am excited to feel teary and bursting once again. I can't wait!

**Are you going to Women's Conference?
Are you counting down to anything?
What lifts you up?**

Comment Window Tidbit: I'm taking Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off of work so that means tomorrow is my work-related Friday, woohoo!

I hope you three have a grand time. What a great tradition.

I'm counting down 'til a wedding, a new grandbaby, a couple of college graduations . . . oh...lots of things I guess.

I hope you have a really great time this weekend! One of these times I will make it to woman's conference. I have never been able to go so I don't even think about it. Have fun.

How nice to be able to look forward to this all year long!

I am counting down to Labor Day weekend because I just bought my plane ticket to visit my brother in California. We decided against us all going this summer since we are cutting back financially so I am excited to go alone for a long weekend in Sept!

YES! I am going to Women's Conference. Will be missing my partner in crime as Kelly is unable to go (sob!) but will be with my cute Mom..
I love this fun tradition that you have with Kristi and Michelle! I hope that next year some of my sistas will join me!

I am counting down to Women's Conference and then to a trip to ALASKA for our 23rd anniversary. BRRR!!!

What lifts me?! Depends on the day - but a clean house, happy littles and food in the fridge.. that makes me HAPPY!

Enjoy your FRIDAY today! Woot woot!

michelle said...

I too am excited to feel teary and bursting once again! You nailed it. And, just like that, I'm ready. (Well, not physically ready, but you know...)

I'm so glad you get to take three days off of work!!

Ashley said...

I have been wondering if you are going this year (actually not wondering, more like expecting that you are going). I'm sad to not be there again. I'm counting on you to take good notes and make us all feel like we were there! (For the talks and especially the eating/hanging out!)

Liz said...

Yes, I am coming to Women's Conference!! I fly into SLC tomorrow night and my sister and I are heading down to stay in the dorms. Hope to see you all there. Is there a lunch date planned either day?

Kelly said...

I am trying to live in denial that Women's Conference is this week since I can't come this year. {sob!} It's killing me! I'm taking comfort that you share such great notes from things like this, so I'm going to try to get inspired vicariously through you ladies! Enjoy your weekend!!

I cannot wait for you to attend Women's Conference. Thanks to you, I was able to have Sis. Beck's highlights from her talk last year posted on my fridge as a constant reminder. It helped me focues on the important things.

hope your pads and pens are ready. I can't wait!

Amie said...

How nice to take some days off. That must feel like such a luxury now.

I love this tradition. I should do something that feels me up. I see the benefit when others do it but for some reason I am not making it a priority myself.

Have a great weekend!!!

sista # 2 said...

Marie said...

I'm going to Women's Conference this year up in Calgary! I've never been, but a group of my very best friends approached me and invited me to come and I am going! I'm sure I'll love it. I'm getting excited.

jenn said...

I'm excited to hear about what brings you to "tears and bursting" this year.

Robyn said...

Hope you guys have fun! You deserve a nice break to recharge your batteries and have fun with friends. I think it's a great tradition you have going. Be sure to share the nuggets of wisdom- I need them!

becca said...

I love that you guys do this every year!! What a FANTASTIC tradition, and I am glad you get to take some time off to enjoy it!!

michelle said...

Just had to come back and say that I have been teary and bursting again. I was a total wreck at church yesterday.
