Conference and Cards

As always General Conference was great! I have to admit that there are some years that it is hard to stay away for all the sessions, not because they are boring but just because you are home in your cozy house with food food food all around and you eat until you're very comfortable, then all of a sudden there is a hum....going on in your living room.

Well this year I stayed awake through every session and every talk and song. I enjoyed it immensely! I found a little trick. You see years ago we used to cut up denim jeans in to squares to use in quilts. This kept us awake as well. We haven't done that for a few years though.

THIS year, I made cards. Last year I was signed up for card making with Chelsea but then she up and moved away so we didn't go make cards every month and they stacked up.

I am a good copier and a good non-conformist however I am NOT a very good at coming up with my own ideas. Thus, I still have material that I don't know how to put together because the web page didn't have pictures of a few of them.

I didn't sign up this year for cards but I am rethinking that maybe I can still see if I can sign up and get the last three months and then let them stack up again for next conference.

Something to think about anyway.

General Conference

We had the opportunity to attend Saturday morning General Conference this October.

 ETERNITY!!!

I get to spend eternity with this man!!

Kevin and Lisa (Doran's sister) were able to come up from Arizona with Jeremy and Alissa. (Nathan is serving a mission in Illinois Chicago West Mission.)

When we found out we had the same day and time tickets we decided to meet up and have lunch. 

Then they came home with us for the rest of the weekend.

I also got to meet some of Jenny's family.

(Yonder, is getting married soon and BYU-I just started school in Idaho)

I just met (IN PERSON!!!) Jenny a few weeks prior to General Conference.

She stopped by on her way back from taking BYU-I to school!

She will never know how much that meant to me.

The other yeahwho's are Gwynne (she was serving her mission in our area and finished her mission the first part of September and is now attending BYU-I as well. She is down for a visit.) April is in our ward and a very dear friend.

What a grand conference!
