I have a calendar for a reason

January 25th, 2007

If I don’t write an event on my giant refrigerator calendar, I forget about it. Normally I am really good at writing things down, but I forgot to write down this multi-stake Young Women Presidency training meeting-slash-dinner taking place tonight. When I found out about the meeting, I knew I would need to come home from work right on time in order to make it to the 6:00 meeting. But I completely spaced it today. Bryan reminded me of it when I walked in the door, sometime after 7:00. I rushed to the Ivins building as quickly as I could. I had missed the dinner but made it just in time for the meeting. Unfortunately, Liz arrived at about the same time as I did. She had a better excuse though - her stepfather-in-law was taken to the emergency room.

The speaker was Sister Elaine Dalton of the Young Women General Presidency. She is very charming and engaging. I was expecting the meeting to include more practical advice and tips, but it ended up being sort of a “keep-up-the-good-work” pep-talk. A little condescending, frankly. But it was nice to hear her speak and know that she took the time to come visit us.
