So I've spent a couple weeks now gearing up and getting stoked for one of my two favorite weekends of the year - General Conference!!
Even with all my high expectations this weekend did not disappoint.
Friday (my day off for student led conferences) included sleeping until 10, hitting the gym and meeting The Beard for some Chipotle for lunch, then a long Target shopping trip. I bought this leather jacket and I pretty much want to sleep in it. Also some Essie "Sole Mate" burgundy polish that makes me feel like a chic vampire.
We went to a classy reception and then met the Holdaway clan for some Hibachi House - our favorite Asian joint in Lehi.
Saturday I made chili and scones, watched 4 hours of amazing conference, and then went shopping with my girls. This is one of my favorite parts of the weekend - dinner, treats, shopping, JT singalongs and girl talk while our guys are at Priesthood.
We slept over at my in-laws and woke up to Chad Holdaway's famous Eggs Benedict and enjoyed the first session of conference with Glen Coco and Lillie Bug (my niece) running laps around the living room. I stocked up on Diet Coke the night before since my in-laws are all healthy and junk.
We ended the afternoon session back at our apartment with a giant bowl of popcorn and lots of blankets.
So grateful for these weekends that breathe life back into me and renew my desire to be a better person. Can't wait to study President Uchtdorf, Elder Bednar and Elder Hollands talks in detail as soon as they are out.
To Look Forward To Next:
- Fall Break Next Weeek
- My Birthday Week after Next
- Halloween Week after That!
