Autumn and Mary Springer and I had a wonderful 2 days in Provo attending this year's Women's Conference at BYU. Mary and I drove down on Wednesday night, checked in, walked around campus, ate at the CougarEat and attended a screening of 2 BYU TV shows. (I won 1 of the 6 raffle prizes...a micro-fleece dark blue byutv blanket in a bag!) Autumn joined us the next morning for the opening session. We joined up for the 4 plenary sessions, entertainment, tour of service projects and then mostly did our own things for the 6 other conference sessions. It was exhilarating and exhausting with 1/2 hour breaks to race to your next class and no extra time for lunch, so you had to eat on the run. I attended such things as "An Empty Nest, Not an Empty Life", "Grandparents: Sow Good Seeds in Their Young Minds", "Be Proud of Who You Are and What You Believe", "The Gospel of Jesus Christ Is Not an Obligation; It is a Pathway." We went out to Rubio's for Fish Tacos and Shrimp Burritos on Thursday night. Yum...thanks, Mary! This is the 4th (I think) time I've attended (it's been a long time since the last one) and Mary's first time. We ran into people we knew...or who knew people we knew...it's a small world. All in all, all 3 of us enjoyed the experience along with about 15,000 others and the weather cooperated...cooler on Friday, but no rain. How lucky to fill our cups and be inspired to be and do better.
