I just got back from a fun-filled weekend in Huntington Beach. I finally took the plunge and went to a singles conference. It was surprisingly enjoyable. There were a ton of fun activities and lots of interesting people to hang out with. I met a ton of new people and made some new friends. Friday night when we got there I did the speed dating and met a few fun guys. We hung out for a while a played jokes on a few other people we knew by putting fake notes in the envelopes provided for people to let you know they were interested in you after a round of speed dating. No one really used the envelopes but we stuffed a few of them with tons of notes and kissed the envelopes for even more effect. Then we all did some dancing and then more vi sting and mingling. Saturday we spent most of our time at the beach and then had dinner groups where an equal number of guys and girls had selected a restaurant and you just showed up and had dinner with whoever was there. Gina and hap pend to pick just the right place. We were the only girls with all guys. Okay so maybe we did accidentally mention to a few guys what restaurant we chose. It was fun to get to know people in that setting and we had a great dinner at Dukes on the Pier.
Yesterday we had a great sacrament meeting (2 hours). The Stake President and an Area Authority spoke and for the highlight of my weekend the Bishop of that ward invited Gina and me to come forward and bear our testimony of the Savior. You know I am always glad to bear my testimony but HOLY COW...without notice in front of 1400 people. Oh and did I mention he prefaced our coming forward with gentlemen "these are the kind of women you want to marry". Yeah, I thought my heart was going to explode. I have no idea what I said... I think I blacked out!
It was an interesting weekend to say the least. I am really glad to back to my normal, mellow, single life.

Sounds like you had a fun weekend! Way to throw yourself into the mix and just enjoy yourself. After all, things like that are all about what you make of it so kudos! Oh, and I have nightmares about that testimony thing happening to me. I think during every stake conference I start to think about what I would say if that ever happened to me. It probably won't, or may not for 25 years, but at least I'll be ready so I don't black out!! :) I'm sure you didn't say anything TOO blasphemous or apostate. ;)
glad it was a fun time. no NCMO?
Nedra- LETS GET SERIOUS! Please include the info we all REALLY WANT TO KNOW! Anyone in particular? Any hot dates? how many phone numbers did you collect! And most importantly, how many states are you adding????
I love hearing about your weekend! Sounds like you had a fabulous time. That would be a shocker to be called in front of 1400 people to bear your testimony without any notice. I'm sure all the men were very impressed! I want to hear all about your stake auxillary night. Fill me in. Love you friend!
WARNING: Guilt trip ahead-----
Jaxon said to me in the car today...
"Mommy, Nena no cally back Shashon!?"
Translation : Mom, Nedra didn't call back Jaxon.
He LOVES talking on the phone these days, so give him a ring and I'm sure it will make his day (maybe yours too...he is pretty funny sometimes!!!)

OH MY GOSH!!! I'm so jealous and proud of you for going to Hunington Beach!!!! It sounds like you had a good time!
I would have walked out of the church building instead of up to the pulpit if they did that to me! But honestly...you are the type of women men want to marry!!!
