Women's Conference...

The Women's Conference experience this year was nothing short of fabulous - gabbing and giggling girls, late nights, tasty food, uplifting talks, amazing music, etc. All of my sisters and I got to go this year (shocking to have no nursing babies) along with my BF Andrea Gunnell and some aunts and cousins. Didn't get a picture of all of us, but here is a small grouping...

Some hilarious things are bound to happen on a "Girls Weekend" but perhaps the funniest thing was our crazy excitement over shopping the "grand opening" sales of a local grocer. Let's just say that all of our suitcases were FULL of Guittard Chocolate Chips (milk, butterscotch, mint, etc). We even got to try our hand at the prize spinning wheel and ended up with a complete meal of white bread, 7up, and twinkies!

Who wins the "Best Bow" contest? Seriously these headbands were crazy huge at Forever 21...

Staying at Grandma and Grandpa Loveland's really is a special treat. Accomodations and proximity to BYU is seriously hard to beat - a 3 minute walk and you are at the Mariott Center! On the crazy day that it decided to snow on us Grandpa loaded us in the van and drove us the .2 miles :) Grandma was always sure to have a yummy breakfast (with the most delicious homemade bread and apricot jam) and food to pack for our lunches. After a late night of shopping and dinner out at Carrabba's she surprised us all with a huge batch of potato salad at 11:00 pm! Ha! Grandma is such a night owl and Grandpa is the early bird.

This was potentially our last year to enjoy a stay at Grandma and Grandpa Loveland's house for Women's Conference because they are going on a mission... Honolulu, Hawaii!
