Two of my favorite things


I spent the weekend quilting and watching conference. That's what I
call a great weekend! We watched the BYU ballgame on Friday and then conference the rest of the weekend. I did a Halloween quilt start to finish in that time. It made me stay awake and I enjoyed conference so much more with my hands busy. What a wonderful conference it was.!! I had gotten pretty worked up about the economy and the state of the world and it seemed that the Brethren were talking just to me when they told us to have hope and faith and try to live the commandments and do our best!. Then, we need not fear. I kept having the scripture run through my head that said, "Be still and know that I am God". It was a great help to me in these troubled times. I think I'll watch less news and read more scriptures and Ensigns.

We had all the family who were in town over for conference and dinner. It was actually cool enough to eat outside. This time together at conference is kind of a tradition and one that I love. Thanks, family, for making the effort to be with us. We missed you, Jamesons and Webbs, but we're glad you were together!

It was sure fun. The kiddos had a little too much fun. So much so that I'm going to have to go back and read all the talks from the afternoon session because the wild monkeys were a little too wild to hear it all. Thanks for the invite!
