This year the girls in my family decided to go to Women's conference at BYU this year. It came at a great time, we all really needed time to get together and spend girl time together. Mom and Dee went up on Friday and and found an apartment for Dee to live in. On Monday Becca and I drove up some of Dees things and met them in Salt Lake. Mom had rented a condo for us to stay in. We went shopping and just had a blast. On Wed. Autumn flew in and we took some pictures of us girls, My cousin Jessica took them and did awesome! Then on Thursday we woke up really early and made it down to Provo with ease (minus some small hiccups) We enjoyed so many classes including one on marriage. We an amazing couple teach the class. Brother and Sister Larsen, the class was called Eternal Marriage if you want it to last forever you treat it different. Brother Larsen gave us an analogy saying that men have boxes in their brain. They can only have one box out at a time and we as women need to be understanding in the sense that it takes time for them to put the one box away and pull another one out. Women have wires that cross and they are driven by emotions. so we can think about multiple things all at once. They had some great quotes,
"When marriage is based on Eternity, we have a long time to work out the kinks."
Elder Oaks said in the April 2011 Conference
"Desires dictate our priorities, Priorities shape our choices and choice determine our actions."
Thursday night there was a concert, hosted by Kirby Heybourne, He sang then David Osmond sang, we also got to hear Hillary Weeks, Josh Wright, Jenny Oaks Baker, and Vocal Point. It was so great and you could feel the spirit so strong. It was an amazing trip and we had so much fun. I hope it becomes a yearly tradition.
