So this weekend was stake conference. I really love meetings that allow me to grow spiritually and and be spiritually fed so I always look forward to things like General conference, stake conference, stake auxiliary training and things like that. This conference was particularly eventful.

First Brian was ordained a High Priest! He got a lot of old jokes all weekend. I could tell you why he was ordained but than I would have to kill you! Actually I will tell you next week after it becomes public knowledge.

So Saturday night was the adult session of stake conference. I had a babysitter and was all ready and prepared like a usually am. I told her I would be at her house just before 6:00 and my friends were leaving our "carpool" spot around 6:20 to make it to the stake center by 7:00. All of our husbands were all ready there for the priesthood leadership meeting. So I get to my sitters house and they are not home. I figure I am a little early so I will just wait. I wait for 25 minutes which is as long as I could before I had to get to the carpool spot to tell the sisters not to wait for me. (of course I do not have the cell phone to just call them). So I get there and we try to call a few other young women and no one answers. SO they leave without me and I am very disappointed because I was really looking forward to this meeting. So I am driving home with my kids and I decide to stop at one Young women's house randomly and see if she is home. She should be I thought because her dad is the Stake President and her mom is in the Stake Relief Society presidency so I know that they will both be at the meeting. So I get to her house and she is there but she has a friend over. So I say, "oh, you are busy I will not bother you." Her friend said, "it's okay what do you need?" So I explained the situation and then they said they would love to watch the kids for me at which point I break down into tears. I could not help it. I was emotional and for anything in the world could not stop crying. It was so embarrassing!!!!! So here I am breaking down on this poor 15-year-olds door step. So she watched my kids and everything went great and I was emotional all night (pregnancy hormones of course right?) So when I picked up the kids she told me she was never going to have kids if it made you do that! woops! I hope I did not scar her for life. She is so funny! She did a great job and the kids loved it over at her house. The next day at the general session of Stake conference both of her parents found me and told me how happy they were that I had decided to stop and that she was able to help. That was embarassing too because I can only imagine the way she described teh night to her parents when they got home. Oh well, we all do embarrassing things and at least I can honestly say I was very spiritually uplifted this weekend. It was an eventful weekend to say the least!
