What a wonderful weekend! Ours was wonderful for a number of reasons! It started out wonderful on Friday, as Andrew took off work so we could attend our mission reunion! How fun it was to see so many old friends and be reunited with our wonderful mission pres, and his wife! We had a special opportunity to spend some extra time with some peticular friends we haven't seen in a while! Thanks to Karrie and Ben for the fun time we had! And our kids are still talking about it! (Ammon still gets a smile when we mention Hannah.) And then to be able to hear the words from our church leaders during conference! I especially took to heart the talk that was given by Elder M. Russell Ballard, and how he focused his thoughts on young mothers and families. It is such a blessing to me to be able to stay at home and teach and spend time with my kids. It was just a good reminder, that although the days sometimes are not what we would like them to be, we as moms, really are doing the most important work. The Lord sees and knows us and He is pleased with our decisions.
