TOFW - Friday night

October included my favorite weekend of the year - Time Out for Women! I've been on the team for an event for the past 5 years and love it!

This year we were expecting Friday night to be Sheri Dew and Jenny Oaks Baker. But when the team arrived for our training, we learned that Sheri wasn't able to make it (you can hear all the ahs of disappointment). So the schedule had been changed. Her replacement wasn't able to make it Friday night so Michael Wilcox (one of my favorite speakers/authors) was going to talk and for longer than he would have had on Saturday. Yippee!

My favorite thing I learned from Bro Wilcox (who I got to sign his newest book for me) is Worship is imitation - if we worship Christ, we will stive to imitate Him; but we won't be perfect at it.

And Jenny (again one of my favorites - we've been buying her cd's since she started recording them) would be performing for about twice her normal time!!!!

I didn't call Adam because he would have figured out some place to drop off the girls and high tail it up for Jenny's "concert". And it would have been worth it. She was awesome, and so cute. I just loved her story of meeting her husband.

Kaylyn has said for years that she wants to learn to play the violin, in spite of Adam and I encouraging her to play the French Horn (or cello). So on one of our breaks, I bought one of Jenny's cd's (one that we didn't have) and at the end of the night had her sign it. I also got our picture together so that I could put it with Kaylyn's CD. Kaylyn LOVES that CD and always refers to Jenny as "your friend that made the CD". So sweet.

I'm including the picture of us together - Jenny looks really cute and I don't but I'm blaming it on the long drive to Kansas City (although Jenny could argue about her trip from DC).
