Bronwen's first talk in church....

On Sunday Bronwen gave her first talk in church. It was the cutest thing ever! I told her a few days in advance that she would be speaking in primary and she was so excited. She told me everything she wanted to say. I thought I would have to prepare it, but she did it herself. I was amazed! On Saturday she practiced a couple of times and then on Sunday she got right up and said what she had planned. It was a very proud mother moment to see my three year old get up and give a talk that she prepared herself. She wasn't even scared at all! I wish I was as brave as her.

Glenn Beck in Utah

On Saturday we had the opportunity to attend a black tie fund-raising gala for George Wythe University. It was held at the Utah state capitol. The keynote speaker was Glenn Beck. The night was absolutely amazing! Mr. Beck spoke primarily about the shortage of statesmanship in America. He talked about the times that we live in and how the ship is going to sink, but not to worry because the people will build a new ship, and that will be up to the few statesmen left. He also talked about how the constitution is hanging by a thread. The whole night was just so inspiring and it really motivated me to stand up for what I believe in. I think others are really taking it seriously as well. Mitt Romney introduced Glenn Beck via satelitte, and while I was there I met our new govenor.
George Wythe University is a small but impacting school in Cedar city Utah. Here is a link to their website: http://www.gw.edu/

San Diego

We just got back from a great trip to San Diego. We went there for my friend Christie's wedding. The wedding turned out just beautiful. I was the maid of honor so I was pretty busy the whole time. I learned one very important thing about myself on this trip and that was that I should never be a wedding planner or have anything to do with weddings. It is way too stressful for me! Luckily, it was everything Christie had hoped for. The best part was Greg's mo-hawk! Connor and I had a great time and we were so excited to see the kids when we got back.
