10 Reasons YOU Should Go to Wasatch Woman 2011
Missed Wasatch Woman 2010? Let me rub it in by giving my Top 10 reasons you should have been there.
#10 Emilylooked hecka hot in this shirt we picked out at Forever 21. Just sayin.’ Look at how cute Quinn and Emily are.
#9 Who doesn’t want a Friday out on the town in downtown SLC for a lunch with fellow Utahns?
#8 Getting to meet the beautiful Pamela (lady behind Wasatch Woman) and her gorgeous baby girl.
#7 Getting a hug from Courtney
#6 The ladies working the registration tables were PURTEY awesome, don’t you think?
Ok sorry these were self indulgent. Let me get to the even better reasons.
#5 Honor. Being in a room with hundreds of other Utah mothers and realizing that we were all here to honor womanhood. To realize how important we are and the change we can bring.
#4 Alissa Black and her STRENGTH to raise awareness and provide women that have been horribly abused with TANGIBLE life-saving help. These are the type of women I want my girls to look up to as role models. THESE are the type of women we need more of in our world.
#3 Stephanie, sweet Nie. My life is forever changed and better because of her. Her unbelievable perspective on life and what really matters is a DAILY reminder to me. I will be indebted to her and her example for the rest of my life. I am so glad I was able to be there and support her winning an award.
#2 Linda Hill (the Wasatch Woman of the YEAR!) saying in her thank you speech, “My kids aren’t perfect but they are PERFECT FOR ME” I want that framed on my wall. Her kids are so wonderful, and how could they not be with such a wonderful mother? Little things like this make me remember how lucky I am to have my family.
#1 Inspiration–I need this to continue trying my darned hardest as a mother. I need to take from other’s examples and strength and stories and trials and triumphs. And THIS is why I needed to come.
Thanks, Pamela & Wasatch Woman for a wonderful event.

You’ve convinced me to go next year! Linda has a powerful quote. I think I want that on my wall too!
Sounds like an amazing afternoon. Wish I could have been there!
I’ll only go if Emily looks hecka hot in the shirt again.
mabey I’m emotional and watching Marley but I cried a little what great people and YOUR THERE
It has been far too long since I’ve heard–or read–the word “hecka.” Thanks for making me smile and for picking out such a fab shirt for me to wear. (You helped with the sweater too, remember?) It really was a great day with a good dose of inspiration. LOVE Linda’s quote about her kids. So perfect! I’m just sad you didn’t include our cute waiter Boris. He was reason #11!
Yea, Boris hated table #37.
Other than that, the event was pretty rad.
Hey at least you guys didn’t have him demanding to you HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE SITTING HERE!!! while you chatted in the lobby. It was almost scary.
You’re welcome! It was great to meet you in person. You and the other bloggers helped out so much. I’m glad you enjoyed the event and your blog here reminds me why I love my job. Women in Utah (everywhere, really) are amazing and inspiring.
I never knew about Boris until now. He sounds like a real bit o’ sunshine.
