Conference/Easter Weekend

What a WONDERFUL weekend it has been. Oh why, Oh why does it have to end? I am not ready for tomorrow to be here. I start another quarter of school. I just want to be done with school already. I wish I could go full-time but I have to work as well. I can see a light at the end of the tunnel so that give me so hope that I will finish. We had a GREAT weekend. Saturday we watched the morning session of conference with our good friends Angel and Jared Day. The Saturday session I was able to attend. We got really really good seats. 11 rows from the front. We could see everything. Our original tickets were up in the balcony seats but we got lucky because my Uncle Dave had three extra tickets for seats in the 11th row from the front. We didn't want to miss out on that opportunity to see that close. We were able to see everything. We didn't have to look at the screens it was AWESOME. We gave away the other 5 tickets we had to some people begging for tickets. You may be asking how we got such good seats while my Uncle Dave's brother is the Seventy. It was an experience I will NEVER forget. I got some pictures on my phone but I don't know how to get them off the phone and onto my computer. After conference we went up to my brother Thomas's house. We hungout with my cute niece and nephew. My nephew is really shy, and it really opened up to me. He was so dang cute he wouldn't leave my side. I LOVED it. I wanted to bring him home with me but I know my bro and sister in law wouldn't let me :( someday it will happen. We waited for Thomas and Braden(sister in-laws brother) to get home from the priesthood session, and we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. I got ribs, I have been craving them for sometime. My mom makes the best ribs, and I can say nothing compares to her ribs. I know how to make them I just like to make them when I can do it for a lot of people. So, maybe next Sunday I can make them since we have Stake Conference, and more people will be in town. Wain was not able to attend conference or go play with us at my brothers house because he had to work. I talked him into coming up that night to stay the night and watch Sunday conference with us. He got there about 11:30 and by then I was ready to go to bed. So, that's what I did. We had to sleep on a love sack, I must have been really tired cause I sleep really good. My mom woke me up about 8 and told me to go get into where she was sleeping so I did. Even though I didn't sleep long cause I kept receiving texts from people wishing me a HAPPY EASTER. Thanks everyone. I LOVE celebrating holidays, I like giving more than receiving. But I was sure to be surprised by my AMAZING husband. He got me and Easter basket. I was so happy because the night before my mom brought all the grandkids Easter baskets, and I felt left out. So what he did was so nice and thoughtful. Thanks honey you're the best. We stayed and watched conference with my brother and his family and they made us waffels with strawberries and whipped cream. So good.. Conference was amazing. I love this time of the year where we get to take time out of our busy lives and spend two days listening to the prophet and apostles. It gives me a spiritual boost. I sure have A LOT I need to work on. I am NOT perfect, but I know that I am trying to live my life in the way my Heavenly Father and Savior would want me to do. I felt there was a theme to this conference, "Families" wow I felt every talk was a warning to us as families and how we are being attacked at every angle. I may not or never have children but I feel that I have a duty to be a mother to those children that I am. and how we need to teach those children about Jesus and about the gospel. It is our responsibility to teach our children in the home. There is no better calling I believe then being a mother and father. I could go on and on about all the talks but that is what I felt conference was. I hope everyone has a HAPPY EASTER and to just not remember the Easter bunny but the true meaning of why we celebrate this Holiday. I love my Savior, I am so grateful for the resurrection and for the example the Savior is to me. I hope I can be more like him.
