Highlights from Women's Conference

Here are the top ten highlights from BYU Women's Conference

10. Leaving my 3 little ones in the hands of a loving husband who took two days off work so I could get the heck outta there.

9. "Walk away from the world." -Sheri Dew

8. Getting to drive my sometimes bossy grandmother a little crazy with my apparently wild driving. {I love you Grandma B}

7. "Choose joy; choose peace" - in a talk to young mothers

6. Boarding a plane with just my little bag and a book. No strollers, no diaper bags, no kids.

5. Getting to relive my BYU days by rushing to classes and buying brownies at the Cougar Eat. There were moments when I felt 20 again.

4. Seeing that Deseret Towers (my old dorm) is no more than a pile of rubble. Unfortunately, the Morris Center is still standing strong. I hated the Morris Center.

3. Talking to my sisters until late at night, and then getting to sleep the WHOLE NIGHT without babies crying or wet beds.

2. "The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbor's glory should be laid on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken." C.S. Lewis The Weight of Glory {Used in a talk entitled "Ministering to the One}

1. This accordion player at Ottavio's came to our table to serenade and in the middle of "All I Ask of You" he suddenly cued my sister-in-law to come in at Christine's part. Without missing a beat she confidently belted out her part...."then say you'll share with me...." That unassuming accordion player, who thought he was being cheeky, had picked the wrong girl to embarrass. She is a bona fide opera singer. He was very surprised. And then he played while she sang O Mio Bambino Caro.
