So, we left the kids at Grandma & Grandpa's and off we headed for a week kid free. It is always kind of weird traveling without the kids. Usually Sari is needing a movie changed in the DVD player or food to eat. Ashlie is usually needing a drink or something to read. Tyler is usually screaming, "It's a train, look mom (or dad) it's a train Is it coming??? It's going!!! A train, a train!!!" So, when we get in the car and there is no commotion coming from behind it is almost a little eery!!! We found ourselves pointing out all of the trains to each other, lol!! We had a great time at the convention. One day was a school I went to so Craig just hung out at the motel and slept and read and played on the computer. The rest of the week was spent going to concerts and different things. I learned so many new things that I hope will really help the bookstore. We are really excited about some of the new products we found. And there are so many talented musicians in our church it is amazing. The event that I enjoyed the most was the evening spent on Temple Square. We were able to hear a number of different groups perform but then the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performed the last half of the evening. It was so amazing to hear them perform live. The spirit was so strong that evening. Of course we heard many other wonderful groups, Jessie Clark Funk of course is one of my favorites. It really was a tremendous week and you leave so exhausted from lack of sleep but on such a spiritual high. We get lots of freebies while we are there so the whole way home from Salt Lake (via Blackfoot) I listened to several of John Bytheway's talks on CD. Wow! I got up and went to church this morning just ready to feel the spirit. I think we are starting to get caught back up on our sleep. You truly go from about 5 am to about 11 pm every day. It is a wonderful experience and it was so fun getting to do it all with Craig. Kind of a funny couple's vacation but we had a great time together. We were happy to see the kids but I don't think they really missed us that much. Ashlie is the only one that greeted us on her own, we had to go and find Tyler & Sari. Funny.

Very cool! Nice to read about your Booksellers Concert experience. Thanks for all that you do.
Wow ... you drove all the way back to Cali, THEN turned around and came all the way back!? You must love to drive a lot. :)
That sounds like a fun convention. I didn't even know that there was such a thing. Lori might be interested in going next year. I'm glad you guys had such a blast!
