Jenny Oaks Baker absolutely blew me away with her talent. She's so adorable I just wanted to run up there a give her a hug. She was full of grace and humility but also showed us how normal she is. We could all relate to her but at the same time were in awe of her talent.
Kenneth Cope.
Cherie Call. Her voice and mannerism reminds me of Jodie Foster.
I wasn't sure if I would come away with anything that would help me in my life but actually I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed every speaker and musical performer, each one was great and had a special message to share.They said a few things which helped me to re-focus my thoughts and feelings.
I left the convention feeling emotionally and physically drained but with a newfound understanding of some things which I was struggling with personally. Maybe now I can tweak those things and find improvement; where before I found only baracades hindering my progression towards a better me.
I'm grateful to my loving Heavenly Father who provided a way for me to attend this event and give me exactly what I need to endure a difficult time in my life.
A huge thank you to Mike for taking care of our kids so that I could be recharged and refreshed.
Love You xxx

Karen,
I'm glad you liked it! It was so wonderful. I hope they have one here in Omaha again. I'm tempted to go to the one in KC next fall. Thanks for going with me!
Karen, did you know that Jenny Oaks Baker is Kathleen McLaren's first cousin? Her dad Dallin H. Oaks and Kathleen's dad are brothers!
We were at Knott's Berry Farm a couple of years ago and we were standing in line for a ride and we got to talking with the couple standing right behind us who noticed John's Utah shirt. They said that were both from Utah but now they live somewhere on the East coast. I asked the husband what took them East and he said, "Well, my wife here is in the National Symphony Orchestra." So I said to her, "Oh that's great, what do you play?" She said the violin, and that's when it hit me! I just sat and looked at her and said, "Okay, I can't believe I didn't recognize you - you are Jenny Oaks Baker aren't you?!" And yes she was. We had a great visit with them. She was SO humble and darling :o)
What a neat experience.
My mom got to talk to her for a minute and told her that we know her family.
Kathleen's parents are here.
Pres. Oaks is our Temple President; my parents are good friends with them.
Mum also got to drive Kenneth Cope, Cherie Call and Pam Hansen to the airport. I asked her what they talked about and she said
"They were mostly interested about what part of England I am from".
It was a really great weekend :)
Oh ya.....duh! I do know that Kathleen's parents are there at the temple. But just wasn't thinking (which is common for me), and certainly didn't think to ask if you (or your parents) know them personally! That's so fun!
And how fun that your mom got to be the chauffeur to the airport. How did she get that gig? And I can certainly understand them wanting to know about where she is from in England. Whenever I meet someone with a british accent I am all over it! Wanting to know exactly where they are from and that's all I want to talk about! Sometimes they get into it with me and sometimes I think it's a little annoying, like "can we please talk about something else?!"
Wow, I so wish I could have been there. I went to the one in Kansas City a couple of years ago and loved it!
It's just not the same going to those kinds of things in Utah.
And I'm so jealous you got to see Cherie Call. She's one of my favorites.
But most of all - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, YOU GORGEOUS THING! I hope you have a really great day.
