I had an awesome faith-filled, family weekend! My mom and aunt Mary Rauen came to Des Moines so us girls could attend the 'Women of Faith' conference. They arrived on Thursday evening. We went shopping at Jordan Creek Mall, Jason made us mexican for dinner and then we watched the American Idol results show. (Sidenote: I am very disappointed Alex Lambert did not make it to the final 12, he was my very favorite!) Friday we were up early in the morning to get ready for the conference... 4 people getting ready in the same bathroom and out the door by 8:30am... impressive! Jason made us a yummy egg casserole dish & cinnamon rolls for breakfast AND he was our chauffeur for the weekend, he dropped us off and picked us up at the door... it was soooo nice not to have to worry about parking! Isn't he amazing? :) The conference was Friday all day 9:00am-10:00pm (with a supper break) and Saturday 9:00am-5:00pm. Over 5000 women come together in one place to laugh, cry, realize we're not alone, listen to heart-felt, hilarious messages, worship and pray. It's pretty cool. Friday night we had a little break from 3:30-7:00pm in which Jason picked us up and we went to Old Chicago for supper and did a little shopping. Saturday night after the conference we went to PF Chang's for supper then played dominoes at home. Sunday we took mom & Mary to our church, Lutheran Church of Hope, they LOVED it... for lunch we went out to eat at Chili's and then it was time for mom & Mary to head home, back to Dubuque. It was a wonderful weekend, the best part was just having quality time with my mom and Mary :) Some inside jokes from the weekend... "Smile while you talk!"... "Dad??!!"... "Milk-a-what?!!"
