For me it started on Friday night with the Young Women Fundraiser. Every year we have a Spaghetti Dinner and Auction. It's so nice to have people donate items for the main auction, bring desserts for the silent auction, and just come to support the Young Women. We thought that this year we would let everyone know where we are going, when, and what our Camp theme is, so we dressed up like pirates and said our "chant". Derek even volunteered to be the auctioneer for his donation (as long as I am President he said) and he did a great job! The night was a success! Honestly, I was glad that it was over, only because I knew I would enjoy General Conference that much more. And I did...I enjoyed every minute...the sustaining of new leaders, every talk and all the beautiful music! It makes me happy to be able to watch it in the comfort of my home with my family by my side. Sometimes I wonder how much my kids really do learn, but earlier tonight I knew when we said our family prayer. It was my children who said thank you for President Thomas S. Monson. I am so grateful for their sweet thoughts and good examples.
What a wonderful weekend!

This year's event went really great! Giving everyone a list of what was offered was brilliant and Derek did a superb job as auctioneer. The girls looked great dressed up. That was a nice touch!
