sister's weekend

It was so much fun to see all (but 2) of my sisters this weekend. Time Out for Women was inspiring and uplifting. I felt more motivated to think positively and to strive to be more calm and holy. It was wonderful!

Our hotel was right across from the Oklahoma City Thunder arena. Maybe no one else thinks this is cool, but since I've been following the playoffs, and since I like Kevin Durant, I thought it was.


We walked a little around OK City on Saturday evening. We went to a botanical garden that was still under construction (we were underwhelmed, but when it is done, it will be cool) and to the Oklahoma City bombing memorial (which was way cooler than I expected).

(working it for the camera!)

As girls we chatted about all things serious and silly, ate delicious mexican food, swam in the hotel pool, and stayed up way too late. I came away impressed with each of my sisters as they strive to be good mothers (where applicable) and daughters of God. What a wonderful family I come from!


And now for a challenge for anyone reading this: put the 7 of us in age order. Ready, Go!


I got home late Sunday night, and the kids were excited to see me Monday morning. I missed 'em, but I was so glad I went. Everything was neat and tidy when I returned, and the kids loved having Daddy all to themselves. We need to make this an annual or bi-annual (every 2 years) event!
