Wanna meet in Denver?

A few months ago a sister from our ward had invited me to go to Time Out for Women (TOFW) in Denver this weekend. I was really excited to go. I had bought tickets to go to another TOFW a couple of years ago, but the day before I was supposed to leave my kids came down with the stomach flu. Guess who stayed home to take care of them? :( So when my friend Janene called to invite me to go this year I was thrilled. Then our ward decided to schedule our quarterly family temple trip to Bismarck North Dakota the same weekend. I figured I am destined to never make it to TOFW in Denver.

Well it turns out that there is a lot going on this weekend and no one is actually planning on going to Bismarck. In the meantime Scott and Jordan were invited to go camping with Scott's brother. Scott, in order to make himself feel less guilty for leaving me alone with the 3 girls being the wonderful husband that he is, decided that maybe I could still make it to TOFW this weekend.

I know it is really late notice and I know that it is really unrealistic that anyone could actually make it this weekend, but I thought I would throw it out there anyway, just in case. Does anyone want to join me in Denver this weekend? I really want to go to TOFW (click for details), I just really don't want to go by myself. Scott even tried to bribe offered to buy my friend Kendra's ticket so that she could go with me. She isn't able to make it though.

My Dad lives in Denver near the temple. I've already called him and he said that I could stay with him. They have graciously agreed to watch my girls Saturday too if I go to the TOFW. I may just go to Denver and spend some time with them anyway and skip TOFW this time. :(

It has been announced that TOFW will be coming to our fair city, Rapid City South Dakota, next year (official date not known at this time). I can't tell you how excited I am about this. I am hereby inviting any and all of my blogging friends to come. I know other locations might be more convenient for some, but for anyone interested in coming to Rapid City please know that my house is your house. :) Wouldn't it be so much fun!?!

If by some miracle anyone (Annie? Carronin? Amber? anyone else near Denver?) is willing and able to make it this weekend let me know. You can email me (see my complete profile for email address) and we can discuss details.

Tomorrow I promise to sound less desperate and pathetic.

This is a possibility. I absolutely positively cannot miss church on Sunday, we are practicing our Primary program. Let me check out the TOFW website and talk to Carronin. I'll get back to ya.

Regardless, we will still be friends:)

I hope you have a great time in Denver--that would be so fun. My daughter-in-law in California gets the chance to go to TOFW all the time, and I'm so envious.

Rapid City would be the closest I've ever seen for TOFW, and if it works out for next year, I would love to go.

OH, I wish I could Amanda! But I have a stake mtg and I'm meeting with Suzanne and Nobody this weekend. I'm sorry!

utmommy said...

I SO wish I could go. DH just told me that he thinks I should go some time. I wish it wasn't this weekend then there might be a possibility. But, go and have a blast!!

Suzanne said...

Yes, Tori and I are meeting Nobody this weekend. I wish I could have come, Amanda! You're totally worth the drive! :)

When I went to TOFW they asked if anyone was there by themselves. The facilitator made a big deal of noticing that was brave to come by oneself, and for alllll the people sitting around that woman to be her friend, and make sure she had someone to lunch with. If you go, someone will be your friend. :)

Oh My Gosh! In Rapid City! How cool is that! I wonder if Nathan would let me spend that much money on myself just so I could hang out with you (and go to TOFW)

I'll be waiting to hear more about that!
