Wonderful Weekend

Twice a year our church has a General Conference, usually the first weekend in April and the first weekend in October. It is one of the highlights of my year. It is something we have formed traditions around and we do special things this weekend that we don't usually do. Some of the highlights of this conference weekend (which was actually 3/31-4/1):
*Youth sponsored General Conference breakfast at our church in DL on Saturday morning.
*Seeing Tristan wear Dani's apron.
*Beautiful weather.
*Lots of sunshine.
*Wonderfully inspiring talks from the leaders of our church.
*Spending the weekend with my family.
*Walking to Dairyland for dinner with my girls on Saturday evening. Then hanging out with cousins and family until bedtime.
*Sleeping in on Sunday morning!
*Cinnamon rolls and fruit for Sunday brunch.
*Watching Derek & Madi cut down the apple tree before conference began.
*Watching my girls listen, make comments and ask questions during or after a great talk.
*Hearing wise counsel from a prophet of the Lord.
*Feeling refreshed, renewed, encouraged, strengthened and re-energized to keep fighting this good fight!
*Watching my family consume dozens of m&m's and not eating a single one!!!! (YAY ME!)

Low points:
*Missing my Miranda girl.
*Watching my family consume dozens of m&m's and not eating a single one.

Great weekend!! YOU CUT DOWN THE APPLE TREE??? WTH for?? It never did anything to you. WHY?? I love you...and I am very proud of you for staying out of the M&M's. I'd have eaten a ton of cinnamon rolls to make up for it ;)
