1. I spent the morning at our stake Women's Conference. I am never excited about going to these things but I am so glad I went. First, we listened to a women's quartet called One Clear Voice. Their songs were beautiful and their messages quite touching. You can hear some samples of their songs
Everyone, including me, was wiping away tears. Then we listened to Janice Kapp Perry who had us busting up with laughter and being inspired to take risks. I had no idea that she didn't start writing music until she was 40. A few things she said:
--have a goal and write it down
--even the smallest distance towards your goal is a victory
--don't let fear rob you of opportunity
--"Watch for the right time and season and then show gratitude for your gifts by magnifying them."
2. When I came home, I put the kids to work in their zones for a quick clean up.
3. Anne found someone's stash of candy from the previous day's party.
4. Emma and I went up to Salt Lake to go to a baby shower for my sister-in-law. I hate playing the games but I always enjoy the food and conversation.
5. Emma left to go tubing with her cousin, Melissa, so I headed down to Orem to go to the library.
6. Dave attended the worldwide leadership training this afternoon, hence the tie. He decided to try making mash potato pancakes for dinner. That didn't appeal to me, but Nathan sure enjoyed them.
7. When I asked where the pop came from, Dave replied, "I was filling my bucket" in reference to an earlier conversation we'd had. He rarely does anything for himself.
8. Slade has been spending lots of time laying on his bed listening to the Harry Potter books.
9. My baby belly has began to show. I am finally resigning myself to maternity clothes.
10. We spent a relaxing evening at home. Dave napped on the couch.
11. I read on the couch. This evening, I read How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. We are definitely not becoming vegetarians but I am on a quest to increase our fruits and vegetables and reduce our meat consumption.
12. Anne ran in circles in the living room while we sat on the couches. Easy entertainment.
