Ensign-isms

An ensignism is a story about Taylor, Alisa, Cassidy, Mckay, and Kelsey Ensign. These stories may be elaborate or mundane, but with the combined personalities of our little family, they are sure to be entertaining.

The Annual Deaf Education Summit


My work takes me many places. I have gone to St. George, Cedar City, Richfield, Ogden, San Fransisco and soon to Vernal. My most recent work "get away" was to Park City, Utah. I attended the annual Deaf Education Summit at the Canyon's resort. Park City is always beautiful in the fall. This year there was no snow, so it was even nicer.
My weekend started at the outlet malls. I met up with some friends to do some shopping before our evening of speakers began. I was able to find some toys for the kids for Christmas, but the biggest find was the clearance rack of purses. I have always been the, "If you need it, it have better fit in your pocket" or a "diaper bag" kind of person. However, I have recently discovered that I really like purses. I hit the jackpot in Liz Claiborne. They had a long table covered in $5 purses. Even better, if you bought three you got one free. I am now the proud owner of a black a brown purse, and a purse for church.
The Deaf Ed conference was good too. Brad Wilcox was the key note speaker on Friday night. "If you can laugh at it, you can live with it" was the title of his speech. It has helped me learn to look for humor all around me. With two kids and a funny husband, I always have something funny to laugh at. (or with)
