We woke up early today so we could make the drive from Rees and Lisa's house (thanks for letting us stay) to Layton where the conference is being held. We had to be there by 8:30 for registration!
Today the conference was amazing. So we were the only one NOT from Utah but that is fine with us... We went to learn about adoption and hear other people's stories and that kind of stuff, so that is the important part. It is so great to be in a place where everyone is so supportive of adoption and here for the same reason. I love it! The classes that we took today were Promoting your Own Adoption (which actually was given by Lindsey who writes on The R House blog), Understanding Openness, Raising adopted children within your home, and a birth mother panel. All of the classes were wonderful and so informative. Can't wait for tomorrow.
After the conference we called up our friends Josh and Kirsten who use to live here with us to see what they were doing. We were able to meet up and decided we wanted to head out to the Salt Lake County Fair.
This was Kirsten's first experience at a Fair, and my first time at a demolition derby. I think we were both pleasantly surprised. Both of us decided that maybe next year we would have cars ready to enter into the derby!!!
We all had a great time and enjoyed the night. It is so fun to get together and just relax and hang out. It was really nice that Josh was able to be there too (since he is a pilot and you never know about his schedule). We can't wait until the next time we are all able to see each again.
