Good times and more good times

I haven't posted anything here for a bit mostly because I haven't been online too much... so here are the key updates:

Last Saturday (September 27th) was a packed and fantastic day... I went to the farmer's market, then to the Bodyworlds exhibit downtown at the Leonardo. That was an amazing exhibit and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to gain a greater appreciation for just how miraculous the human body is. It was literally awesome. Then we went to eat at Settebello's, an authentic Italian pizza place downtown. It was excellent. Follow that with the General Relief Society broadcast including one of my favorite talks ever: the one on Happiness by President Uchtdorf. And last we had a combined birthday party for me, Christian, and Heidi and Loni (our birthdays are all within 5 days of each other). It was a great day. Here's the one picture I have from the day:















This weekend was general conference. I love conference weekend. I treat it as kind of an oasis. Sure, it's 8 hours of talks, but I don't have to get dressed up or go to church. I can hang out at home and listen to the talks. It was a very inspiring conference listening to the words of the prophets and apostles. I truly enjoyed it and was actually sad when it ended knowing it wouldn't happen again until next April. At least I can re-read and study these talks in the meantime.

Sounds like a fun weekend. You look beautiful. I also loved conference! It doesn't get much better than 8 hours of talks. :)

Yay for conference! I literally get giddy when I know it's coming up. I just can't wait! But just like Christmas, it's over way too soon.
