Infinite Grace

Women of Faith was once again AMAZING this year! I absolutely LOVE that weekend each year! This year I went with one of my best friends, Araceli, and her mom and grandma. We left first thing Friday morning (felt bad leaving a teething Tyler with dad but he survived) and went to Fashion Island to walk around, shop and have lunch. The weather was PERFECT for outdoor shopping. It was so nice to get out of the heat!! I love that mall with all of the fountains and things they have there to entertain kids. I love it! We stopped at CVS to get cards and snacks and then got all checked into the hotel with time to spare before the conference started so we played a few hands of Nertz (just about the funnest card game ever!)

Like I said in my previous post, Natalie Grant was there. I absolutely LOVE the girl! I saw her for the first time 2 years ago at The Revolve Tour when Araceli and I helped chaperone girls from church at that conference. I've been in love with her ever since. Her music, her personality, everything about her. She's great! Do I sound a little obsessive? LOL!

Anyways... I had a great weekend away and took away so much from the conference. It's crazy to see that arena packed full of 15,000 WOMEN! All of the men's restrooms are converted into women's restrooms for the 2 day event. I probably saw a total of 5 guys - all of which were working or volunteering or was a husband of one of the speakers... lol.
It's such a great experience though! I highly recommend it!!! I can't wait for next year!!


Oh and as far as Chad goes... he survived. Tyler was A LOT to handle for 2 days with teething and all but everything went fine. Chad actually met a ton of family up at Lake Hemet and camped with them overnight and had helping hands there so it was good.
