Twice a year our church has a meeting for all men and boys twelve years of age and older. Ever since Jared has turned 12 he and Rob have looked forward to attending this meeting together and going to dinner afterwards (it requires alot of preparation on their part because they will decide which restaurant they want to go to and then find a church near the restaurant to attend the meeting so they don't have to wait in line for dinner) and Brandy and I look forward to our girl's night out (which usually includes dinner and shopping) while the boys are away. Well today I have a new appreciation for how Rob felt for two years while Jared was on his mission and he did not have his son to attend Priesthood with. Brandy is in Hartford, Connecticut teaching at the Creative Keepsakes Conference and I will be daughter less tonight while the boys are away. You don't realize how much you long for and appreciate things until you don't have them and today I am reflecting on how much I love my daughter and appreciate the "traditions" we have built over the years. I really hope this will be my first and last Priesthood meeting daughter less because I don't like it one bit! Daughters rock (sons too)!!!!

Awww...I didn't realize how much I would miss Conference Weekend until I was away. I love the girls shopping and dinner outings and the chance to watch church from the comfort of your own home. If I have anything to say about it, this will definitely be the last time I miss it! Loves. ~Brandy
