Weekend Update


It was so much fun to go to SLC this weekend for General Conference. Although it was terribly cold Saturday morning and snowing (a drastic change from our 70 degree weather), it was a wonderful weekend.

We were able to go to both Saturday sessions and the big treat was to be able to be in the conference center when my dad was sustained as a new Area Authority of the Seventy. I am so proud of him and the example he is to our family. Congrats Dad!

The other big treat (and always is) is to hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in person. There is nothing like hearing them sing live... it is one of the most beautiful "noises" in the world.

then later that evening, I went to dinner with my cousin Laurel and my Aunt Larrie. That was about as fun as it gets. We chatted and laughed for 2 hours. My cousin Laurel is amazing and is so funny. She has great stories, great insights, great wisdom and makes everyone feel so special and loved. Thanks for making time for us, cuz! it was a blast.

Then Sunday, we stayed at my in-laws and the extended family came over for lunch. About 40-50 people... it was nice to see everyone and socialize again with family.

It was a quick trip and over way to fast, but a wonderful treat to be able to be there this weekend and experience such wonderful events with family. Probably one of the best conferences yet!

Oh, and of course the talks were outstanding!
