It’s BYU Women’s conference this weekend, and while I’ve gone for the past couple of years, I wasn’t planning on going this year, since Robin wasn’t planning on coming up for it. She’s come about every year for the past 10 or so years, and always stays with us. We always love it when she comes, sometimes with her kids, and sometimes without. Well, she was in the middle of a nasty court battle with her ex, and had a court date scheduled which conflicted with Women’s conference. Her lawyer informed her this week that they needed to settle, accept the recommendations of the court appointed family mediator, and not go to court. So, at the last minute, she booked a flight, and decided to come to Women’s conference. She said she needed to recharge her spritual batteries, especially after the last two months of this battle.<\/p>\n
So, we welcome Robin this weekend, and even though I can’t get away to join her at women’s conference, I’ll watch some of it on tv and join in the spirit of women’s conference. I hope she finds just the right classes she needs to hear, and has a good time. <\/p>\n
I didn’t get my house clean for her, and the first night she slept on the couch because we thought she wasn’t coming until I got her message after rehearsal Wednesday night. But she doesn’t seem to care that the accommidations aren’t fancy. She puts up with my kids talking to her incessantly while she does her hair and makeup in the morning, and she even came to a lovely band and orchestra concert last night! She’s a good sport.<\/p>\n
So, tonight we will eat the obligatory meal at the Olde Spaghetti Factory (her favorite place to eat when she’s here), and go garage sale hunting on Saturday morning. Fun Fun fun!
\nSpeaking of the band concert, the kids did a great job. The highlights were a Saxaphone Solo of “the Pink Panther”, a sax and trumpet duet of “Tequila”, “The Phantom of the Opera”, and “Pirates of the Caribean” played by the whole group. I’m impressed with those kids, and the patience of their teachers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
