This n' That

First of all, let me just say that we are liking it here in Las Vegas. It is starting to feel more like home as we are making some good friends and getting settled. We love our ward and our stake here. Every time I come home from church meetings I leave feeling uplifted and wanting to be a better person. There are so many great leaders and people in our ward. Everyone at church has been so nice and welcoming. One thing I like about our ward is that everyone is friends regardless of marriage status, number of children, age, etc. We were invited to a dinner party last weekend hosted by the Relief Society president. She is one of the kindest, funniest, spiritual, and most sincere ladies I have ever met. There were about ten families/couples there of all different ages. We had a delicious dinner followed by a game with lots of laughs.

The next day was Women's Conference put on by our stake. It went from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and the conference consisted of over 30 different classes. I went to yoga, self defense, budgeting & finance, shopping smart, turning up the heat in your marriage, raising children to serve the Lord, and family reunions. All of the classes were awesome! There were so many great classes to choose from it was hard to choose which ones to go to! The conference was catered by Bucca Di Beppo for lunch. I had a great day going to classes, socializing, eating, and learning. The best part about it was that it was free!

We hope we can find a house in the neighborhood we are living in right now since we like the area. I am really happy that Niel is loving his job and we are getting more settled. Now we just have to get out of this 725 sq/ft. apartment. It is starting to feel a little claustrophobic:)

I think Women's Conferences are just amazing, no matter who puts them on! It's a great time to learn something, connect with other women and have a good time! Sounds like you definitely enjoyed yourself. :)
