oh, how I absolutely love the lds homeschool conference!  How I love meeting other mothers and families that homeschool, and I love learning from them how to better myself and our family and our schooling.  The spirit is so strong there.  Such a wonderful keynote speaker was Michael Ballam.  Alex took a class once studying “music and the mind” he wrote, and it was absolutely amazing all that we learned through ways of music!  It was a wonderful experience my friend Juventa had, being on the board, getting him to come and speak.  We were so grateful to meet a world famous opera singer(he’s performed at the Vatican and The White House), professor, and wonderful man that he is!

We got to meet old friends, play on the beach, walk the boardwalk for miles, and even though it was the middle of the week when the girls and I drove up, jarom got to join us for the weekend, which was wonderful!

(the girls found Alex in the youth group and loved running and hugging her!)
