Weekend at Time Out For Women with Kamala

I spent a few days in Mesa and attended 'Time Out For Women' which is an event sponsored by Deseret Book. We heard wonderful speakers: Brad and Debi Wilcox, John Bytheway, Emily Watts, Emily Freeman, Wendy Ulrich and Kris Belcher and heard music from Jenny Oaks Baker and Kenneth Cope. We laughed, cried and soaked in the wonderful feeling of being amongst such wonderful people (1800 women!)
It was fun to spend this time with Kamala. She is currently working 2 jobs while Chad is in school full time and needed this time out as much as I did! She is such a fun person to be with and I love hearing her stories.
I enjoyed 2 good walks while in Mesa also. Thur. morning I went with Stacie, Carson and her friends along the canal and walked/jogged for 1 hr 15 min. I love a good workout first thing in the morning and wish I could do that every morning. Fri. I went with Austin and went almost as far and had a very good talk with my oldest grandson. Gosh I love that kid. I wish I had gotten a pix of us walking/talking. He is such a reader that he is fun to talk to.
My moms birthday was a few days ago. Lately I have been hearing her tell me something she said a lot as I was growing up "A place for everything and everything in it's place." I have been trying to declutter and keep things in their place! I am so blessed to have such a mother as I have.

I was just looking at a picture of Kamala holding Christian when he was a baby (now a high school senior). What a fun day for the two of you. Glad you got to go.
