Sometimes you gotta get back to your YSA roots

Two weekends ago was the state wide YSA conference. This year the extended the age to 35 so my bestest friend convinced me to go. Here we are with Hills friend Athena ready for the opening night.
Bestests friends. We had such a fun night. We danced, we sped dated, we karaoke-ed, we flirted with the fellas...totally partied it up. :)
The theme of the first night was something about lights so I got these really great glow in the dark glasses...totally nerd hot don't you think?
On day 2 we arrived in time for lunch looking fab. The day consisted of lunch, work shops, a service project and dinner before a really great game!
The game we played was "the life sized game of life". It was amazing! The peps that planned it did an amazing job of involving everyone and helping us get to know each other.  We started out playing a game to decide what degree we would obtain. I got my MD. Then we had to make a paper air plane and fly it to see how much money we would make. Mine, according to a guy I met, looked like a 5 year old made it...if he hadn't been shamelessly flirting with me during that convo I would have been offended.  After our salary's were determined we split up to our assigned rooms to get matched. We each got a slip of paper with a word on it and had to find our matching member of the opposite sex who had the match to our word. I was frame and my match was picture. It turned out my match was the co-chair of the conference for Irvine. He was a nice guy and also an MD. We chose to live somewhere wild like the midwest.  We had one son & a condo not to bad. During the game we played to determine our other blessings and trials in life I kept teasing him that he he was my "baby daddy" since we weren't married.  We had a good time and ended up getting 3rd place in the game. We each one a $10 gift card to in and out. Good times.
When we payed off our debt we make 315,000 per year....pretty sweet deal even if it was only fake life. The game was great and I had so much fun meeting new people and flirting it up.
On Sunday we went to church followed by lunch and the fireside. Here we are ready for the day.
Our area authority who spoke to us  make up an analogy about how we were like Olympic athletes in the game of life. Here we are biting our gold medals.
Few fun pics: Sassy sunglasses.
Too cool for school.
Bestest friends. Such a great weekend, shout out to Hill for making me sign up and for helping make it so much fun.
