Conference Weekend

Busy Busy Busy. . .This weekend we planned tons of things to do! we planted our grass while Tad took Ben to an institute breakfast. I told him that he could pick up a bunch of girls that way, and when he came to drop Ben off, a girl was following him in a truck. . . it was his girlfriend.

After planting the lawn Todd got home and we went and bought a truck we have been looking at while listening to conference on the way. Yes that is right we bought a truck. I am so excited cause now I can have the car back. I no longer have to wait until 10:00 at night to do my grocery shopping!

During the last hour of conference we drove up to Heber City to help his parents finish the house. When we arrived conference had ended. and we got to work. We painted the second coat of paint in the kitchen, pantry, washroom and master bedroom. meanwhile the boys were busy taping the seams of the sheetrock and texturing the walls in the loft and great room. Todd and his dad were outside working on the garage getting the cement ready for the floor. We got a ton done!

The guys left for priesthood session while us girls cleaned up and headed to SLC where we hooked up with Grandma Loertcher and Teddy and went to dinner at Applebee's. We all shared appetizers and then got dessert. Eventfully there was a gigantic peice of wax paper in our dessert that they forgot to remove before cooking it. . . Teddy ate a nice chunk of it. We were all laughing our heads off while getting our server to come to our table. When she came a look of horror was expressed. We were all ok with it, and she got us another dessert, but you could tell she was really sorry it happened to us. (she was also probably worried about loosing her tip too) But we all got a good laugh and no harm was done.

Sunday we spent time with Todd's family listening to conference and feasting on fried chicken and potatoes.

Looking back I didn't get to truely listen to conference. I guess that is satan's way of keeping us from getting closer to God, so on monday I loaded it up on my computer and listened to all of the sessions again, taking notes and truely listening to the words from our prophet and apostles. it was wonderful to hear the words of the Lord and answer to my prayers. Thank goodness for technology and the ability we now have to hear these talks over and over again throughout the year.
