Butterflies, excitement and pure adrenalin was what I felt on Thursday. I was asked to speak at Womens Conference down at BYU. They were expecting thousands of women to attend. My topic was Nurturing newlyweds, and how to help them transition into their new life. ( I know! not an easy subject.) The Lord blessed me sooo much! All I can say is, it was definitely a moment I shall never forget. My mom said it was the pinnacle of my life. Thanks to all my family and friends who came to support me. I believe there were about 300-350 people there, at my class.
Thanks to all who prayed for me this week!
Some of my friends who came..
My oldest son and his wife

What an amazing opportunity for you. That is so impressive. I am so glad that you felt the strength and answers that you needed to remain calm and feel good about what you were prompted to say.
Great turn out :) I am so glad to see a lot of happy faces that came to the conference. Thanks for sharing too. I think that would have been a tougher topic. At least for me. It's been awhile to have to remember those newlywed years. Great job.
What a great experience! I'm sure it was a great presentation.
Are you a Nielsen? That is my maiden name. I wonder if we are related.
Now I am MORE than ticked that I had to give up my ticket!! I wish I had known you were presenting! ARRGGHHH!
I'm sure you were fabulous!
