General Conference Brunch Extravaganza Weekend!

I was so excited for Conference weekend. The couple weeks before I had been able to listen to some amazing devotionals and have some great temple trips. I was really excited to be spiritually uplifted even more!

Some friends of ours decided we would have a breakfast together (we had one in April for conference too). It ended up turning into a lunch so I called it "The General Conference Brunch Extravaganza!" All week I kept reminding people about our extravaganza we were having. Haha. It ended up being a great little party. Conference was awesome and good food just added to the amazing day. We had hashbrowns, eggs, bacon, and crepes. Saraiah made the most delicious syrup I've ever had in my entire life. It was to die for GOOD.





While the men watched the priesthood session, Taylor, Saraiah, and I decided to go hike "R" mountain. We went up a side I had never been up before. The views were SO pretty. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous. I stopped every 5 feet or so just to take another picture of the sky. It was a great way to spend the evening. The whole way up we talked about the sessions of conference that day and reminisced about what we had learned. It was a very sweet hike with two amazing girls.












Sunday was a lot more low key. Kevin, G and I watched all the sessions at our apartment. In between sessions we had pancakes with the remainder amazing delicious to die for syrup, left over bacon, and some eggs. Also in between sessions we got to skype these crazy kiddos, which is always a great time...



It was a GREAT General Conference weekend. I loved all the speakers and definitely received some great insights on things I need to be improving on. I'm so grateful for the gospel and the countless blessings its brought into my life. I'm so grateful for wonderful family and great friends and the fun time we had that weekend!

Until next time...

Third Time's the Charm..Maybe...

Last week as I sat down to go through some emails I remembered this old blog and got sucked into reading through past posts. I smiled, cried and laughed as I read through my memories over the last 4 years. :) It was crazy to read through and think about how much has changed over the years and how much Kevin and I have experienced together in the 6 years we've been married. My last post was from March of last year after a visit to Iowa. I could kick myself for not keeping up with this blog because last year was packed full of some of the greatest and hardest experiences of my life. Highlights from over the past 18 months: -We had a graduation party in Idaho for Kevin April 2017 and he officially graduated the following July! It felt so good for him to finally be done. He worked SO HARD and overcame some major obstacles and set backs.  -After Kevin walked in April we did a big trip to Utah and Iowa with Shawnii after watching her graduate with her Masters in Communication Disor...

Mid-Week Happenings/Ramblings

This week has gone by sooo slow. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Rude. Anyways...Here's some random happenings/ramblings from the past week or so... Kevin is anti anything Christmas before Thanksgiving...I'm the complete opposite. We've compromised. I can listen to Christmas music but cant hang any decorations (my pinecone and snowflake garlands don't count) until the Monday before Thanksgiving. I can live with those stipulations.  We made a goal with our friend G to not eat out at all this week (we may or may not have an addiction to midnight runs to McDonalds). We've survived so far.  Last night we finally watched the movie, "The Fault in Our Stars". Holy hannah. Ugly face cry the whole time people. It was so sad but so worth it, minus the random f-bomb.  I attempted to make homemade french fries for dinner this week...oh deary...Lets just say I wont be using that particular recipe again...or attempting to make fries again a...

Sum of September

My goodness its already October! September was a fabulous, crazy, busy, wonderful month. First up a visit to Idaho... A ll my siblings surprised my parents the second weekend of Sept as an early birthday present for my mom's 60th birthday! We were missing Kevin and Arianna's husband and kids but the rest of us were able to go. My parents were so shocked and my mom cried and cried she was so happy to see us all. It was the best present we've ever given her. :)  It was a laid back weekend just spending time together. We went to a Gentri concert Saturday night,  church Sunday, my mom loves having people to sit with so we made sure to visit on a weekend so we could all sit with her, Danny and Melissa's family left Sunday after dinner, Monday we had a little day of shopping and relaxing at home, and then Tuesday Shawnii, Arianna and I all headed home.  GETTING TO DRIVE LARRY HOME FROM CHURCH!!!  The day after I got back from Idaho I st...
