WC (does not stand for water closet)

The April 28-29, 2011 BYUWC (Womens Conference) is the annual get away I crave. My friend who is drowning in color-code personality analysis told me I have a lot of yellow; the fun-loving spontaneous color. Yes, it is true!... but only twice a year--womens conference weekend and my annual "honeymooning anniversary" getaway with my hub. I love the freedom of doing whatever I want, whenever I want and NOT HAVING TO MAKE DINNER! Yee-Haw!!

This year I loved loved loved the Bednar's talks so if they rebroadcast you'd do yourself well to tune in. Basics=Sister B had two little kids and was dealing with the trials we all felt back in the day. She prayed and prayed and prayed. She hoped for a glamorous answer like, "you need to take a hawaiian cruise, new hairdo, buy a new outfit or just have a spa day and pedicure." no, the answer was the same as it always is... scripture reading, prayers, living the gospel etc. she said she was already doing those things but was still feeling incapable. then she realized yes, she was going through those motions, but to really have them help her she had to do them with full intensity and change of heart.

I left the Marriott Center inspired!!

Someday we need to meet up at WC (and not in the candy isle).

I love it too.
