My Story (Time Out for Women blog)

So about a month ago I saw a post on the Time Out for Women facebook page asking for stories on Seeking the Good their theme for this years TOFW. I thought I have a story I can share. So at about 4:00 in the morning I wrote up my story and quickly sent it in. I knew that if I took time to think about it I would talk myself out of it and not send it in. I didn't even proof read it (other than spell check). So about 2 days before Angela was flying out and going with me to TOFW, I got an email saying I won. To be honest I didn't know I was in a contest. I just thought I would tell my story. They told me to go to will call and they would give me my information there. They showed Angela and I to the front row where my name was on two seats. We sat next to the Presenters on both days. We also got to eat lunch with them as well. Mercy River was fun and down to earth. They also had me stand and interduced me as the winner and that my story would be on TOFW's website. So here is My Story and the link

My Crazy Amazing Weekend

Time Out for Women
About a month or so ago I had this idea. I knew I was going to be going to Time Out For Women in St. Louis. But I thought maybe I could convince my best friend Angela to fly up from Texas and come with me. I thought this would be a long shot because she is the mother of 7 little ones. But I thought 'what the heck' I'll ask. She said I'll see what I can do. Well long story short she flew up this past weekend and went with me. I have missed her soooo much. It's been about 2 1/2 years since we actually saw each other.
Here are some picts of our great weekend:

We also got to have lunch with all the Presenters of Time Out For Women:
This is Mercy River
(A Christian Singing Group)

We also came up to St. Louis with about 15 other women from my ward (Church Group). We stayed up until 3:00am talking, giggling, crying, you know what girls do when they get together. They are all amazing women and I am so very grateful to know them and call them my friends.

It's Been to Long....I'm Back

I know it's been way to long since I blogged. I could blame it on being a mom of 5 kids or married to a Military man that makes me a single mom more than I would like to be. Or maybe it's my church responisbilities (which I love being in Young Womens by the way). But honestly it's none of those things that have kept me from the computer as much as PINTEREST. I have been so busy trying new things.....sewing/recipes/painting and sanding. I seriously dream of PROJECTS to do. I love Pinterest! They're so many smart brillant people out there that have made my life so much easier.
I will show you a couple of pictures of things I've been up to like;
