Women’s Conference 2025

We took a women’s conference break Friday night when we went to support some of our favorite kiddos in their elementary school production of The Little Mermaid. Bryn was Scuttle and she was so funny and so confident!

Brandon was King Triton and he rocked his fatherly role. He was on stage a ton and stayed completely in character. Such a fun evening!

I got up early Saturday and went over my conducting notes again, and the family headed to the stake center at 7. The only thing we forgot were keys for Adi and Frankie to drive home from Alecia’s (she drove them home from the stake center). That’s pretty good to just forget one thing, and Sarah came to the rescue and popped over to grab our keys. Delaney stayed home. I gave all the girls the choice and Delaney wasn’t old enough for the conference, so she just would have been a helper. Anyway, she had no clue Sarah had even come in, so that’s very safe. 

Anyways, every year I take notes and one big note was to get a picture before conference starts. We grabbed Susannah, Sarah, and I while Heather was chatting. 

Then we grabbed her. After this we found a quiet room and had a prayer. It settles us and unifies us and I got teary as I shared my testimony and gratitude with them. I truly love these ladies and am so grateful to serve with them. 

I thought the day was really beautiful. Someone asked me if I’d gotten any sleep the night before, and I really did. We delegated and had so many amazing helpers and it also helps that this is my 5th women’s conference, which is truly crazy. 

So after the opening session we split into classes and my presidency mostly floats to make sure everything is running smoothly. These wonderful kitchen helpers!

Erin did all the food and was so great and easy to work with. I loved that her whole family came to serve with her. ❤️

Cafe Rio style lunch! Members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints love Cafe Rio. It’s like the 14th article of faith. 

The decorations were really lovely. Simple and elegant, and everyone got a kick out of the fact that I inadvertently matched the pretty napkins. Our whole presidency matched the decor with Sarah and Susanne in blue and Heather in yellow. 🤷‍♀️

Desserts are often my favorite part of lunch. 

It was such a good day and then just like that, it was over. 

I just kept looking around and soaking it in, all the strength and love and wisdom from the wonderful sisters in our stake. What a blessing. 

We had tons of after conference helpers too. Missionaries and capital ward members and all of our kitchen helpers. Mark and Amy and Matt and I finished the mopping and locking doors and by 4:00 we were on our way home. 

My heart is so full of gratitude for opportunities to serve and a family that taught me to love it.
