The woman in my family had the fortune to attend Time Out For Woman in Las Vegas, NV at the Cashman Center on Las Vegas Blvd on October 22nd and 23rd. It was a few days to get away from life to hear speakers, singers, and be uplifted. All in attendance: my mom Cheryl, Sisters Jana, Michelle, Jennifer, Wendy, Me and Audrey, Jenn's friend from Lancaster Wendy Talbot ( my friend too now,) and our cousin Kristine Christensen. The Christensens graciously opened thier home to us to stay there when not at the Cashman Center. As you can tell from the picture above, we were a happening crowd. We were just happy to veg and not have kids to put to bed.
TOFW is a great way to spend a day and half learning that our role as woman, mothers, wives and sisters in the gospel is a big responsibility, but has great rewards in the eternities. We learn to identify with others who may feel and know what we are going through. We learn to better our understanding of children and spouses. We learn the importance of service, missionary work, teaching the gospel in our homes, and living the gospel to the fullest. This is a time to be reminded why we do all that we do everyday, and that what we do has an eternal outcome, possitive and negative. So we need to know that we are responsible for the safety of our home and family, but not stress and take on too much. As Sister Hinckley put it, "Don't hobble faster than you have strength."

I'm sad our sister Elizabeth wasn't able to come this year, but I feel fortunate to have gone and hopefully learned to better my life and the life of those around me.
