ONE THOUSAND invitations!

















I'll admit, this is a ridiculous amount of pictures that I took of a bunch of cardstock and embellishments, but since I have invested so much time in making these, I want to remember the results of the efforts of not only me, but a handful of others who helped out here and there in the production line, before I distributed them to the ten different congregations of Mormon women who have been invited to our conference. Nine hundred invitations are in English, and one hundred are in Spanish. Now that these beauties are all out of my house, I'll spend the next three weeks working on details of the conference and have my fingers crossed for a successful event, where women will be glad they came to it, and leave feeling uplifted and ready to spread a little love by small and simple things they do for others. Anyone can attend this, by the way. Your presence would be greatly appreciated by me especially.

How awesome!!! They look fantastic and I totally appreciate the tediousness of making invitations by hand. I hope everyone realizes how much love is invested in those! :) Good luck in the conference!

now that I know a little more about the work going into this, I appreciate it even more! Looks like it will be a great conference and I am exicted to attend. I'll pick my invitation off the floor and keep it where I can see it and be a bit more ready to be inspired that saturday!

Boy! You guys were busy! Our stake announced it in our RS handout, that's it. I hope those women know how much you love and care about them. Almost as much as I love and care about you!!!

Wow! That is really something Kelly. You are amazing! Good reminder too, that someone has put in hours (and hours) into these beautiful handouts which we are sometimes fortunate enough to receive. I hope your sisters appreciate your dedication. I'm sure it will be awesome :)

They knew what they were doing when they called you to the Stake Relief Society (not to mention true inspiration!). Great job, Kelly, I hope all 1000 women show up.

Kelly! You just might be an over-achiever! The invitations look awesome--how did the conference go? I am speaking at the Hong Kong Women's conference in a couple of weeks--but I didn't have to make 1,000 invitations!
I bought the px90 cds when I was home--but haven't started yet. Trying to get the conference presentation done first, and figure out how to watch the cds, since they won't play on our dvd (wrong country code).

Hello, just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the conference, wish I would've felt better. I still have my invite, I can't bear to part with it because it's so pretty. It is on my microwave and everytime I look at it, I think of how greatful I am for the small and simple things in life :)

Triathlon triumph

Are you kidding me? A triathlon and I have never belonged in the same sentence. It must have been time for something new! (The "BEFORE" race shot, with goggles and swim cap in hand.) What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously. My friends Lorraine and Robin had trained and signed up to do the event, which was two days ago, on Saturday. Three days beforehand, I heard about it and basically had a spontaneous urge to join them, so I registered. The only partial preparation ahead of time that I had been doing was cycling in the neighborhood here and there on my mountain bike with some other friends. And doing some micro-laps in our backyard pool. Our friend, Dave, was also there. The three of us women appreciated Dave's encouragement and support, as he's ...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...

San Antonio temple weekend

Here am I (five months pregnant), with Hannah, Kelly, Lindsey, and Christopher, walking out of the San Antonio temple after our new daughter was sealed to us for time and for all eternity during a special, sacred ceremony, this past Saturday afternoon.  We were happy to have a wonderful group of guests in attendance with us, Kelly's two sisters, Debbie and Brenda, my sister, Julie, Kelly's mom and dad, my mom, my good friends Lorraine and Stewart, Carol and Rick, and one person from our ward, my buddy, Sue. Dinner later that night consisted of a feast at the Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas, for some incredible pork ribs, cole slaw, and more. We strolled along the Riverwalk to show our visiting family members one of San Antonio's popular tourist spots.  It was a beautiful, windy day, the Saturday following Thanksgiving, in San Antonio.  We tried to find a corner with less wind to blow in our faces.  More photos of the family.  The family, strolling along th...
