This year for the Anderson sister weekend we invited our daughters to go with us to Women's Conference in Provo. Although not everyone was able to attend, we enjoyed the combined activity enough to want to do it again another time. The weather didn't cooperate. Driving near Beaver to right before Nephi was a nail biter to say the least. It snowed so hard and lasted for so long that it was very difficult to see the freeway adequately to feel completely safe. We finally arrived in Highland, Utah which is where Marci and Kristie both live. Julie, Natalie, and I stayed at Kristie's along with Becky, Amy, and Valerie. The rest of the gang stayed at Marci's. We enjoyed two days worth of meetings and classes in spite of cold, damp weather. Thursday night there was a great concert at the Marriott Center that included Hillary Weeks, Michael McLean, a group called Mercy River, and a singer by the name of Dallyn Vail Bayles. He has a fantastic tenor voice and has performed on Broadway in Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables. We went out to dinner a couple of times and ultimately, yes, we found ourselves all in the University Mall shopping our hearts away!

I really enjoyed being up there with everyone. I am excited to do it again next year!
It was a lot of fun. Thanks for including us in the "Sister Weekend." I loved the shopping and all the classes. Thanks for everything MOM!!
I'm so glad that so many of the family could make it to BYU Women's Conference. It's a big effort to leave husbands and kids at home and travel but it was truly a weekend I won't forget. I loved being with you and Becky and some of our nieces. It just felt so good! I imagine Mom would have loved knowing we were together again.
