Womens Conference and Wicked

I am having a hard time coming back to reality today after the wonderful weekend I had with my mother and sisters. It has been a tradition now for 4 years that my mom, my sisters and I attend BYU Women's Conference together. It seemed as though every speaker tailor made their talks just for what I needed to hear. At the closing session with Elder Perry the congregation was singing The Lord is my Light. All of a sudden people started to stand up and then Elder Perry and Elder Nelson stood and by the end of the second verse everyone in the Marriott Center was standing and singing The Lord is my Light with tears streaming down their faces. Words cannot adequately describe the feelings in that place at that time. It was truly a "Zion Moment"
Then as if the weekend couldn't get any better, Saturday I got to take my mom and my sisters and Hannah to "Wicked" at the Capitol Theatre. We went to dinner first at The Roof Restaurant and then headed over to the theatre. When we walked in I thought Hannah was going to hyperventilate. She was so excited. We were a little early getting there so we had to wait for about a half hour before the show started. She kept turning to me and saying "I can't believe I am actually here" and when the lights dimmed and the music started she had the biggest grin on her face. I think it was more fun to watch her then the show.

I wish I could've gone! It sounded like so much fun! It sounds like Hannah has repeatedly spazzed out, not just on Thursday night :) That was funny!!!
