Last weekend was General Conference and I always enjoy the opportunity to be uplifted. I love how every 6 months were blessed with the chance to listen to apostles and prophets and how if we go with open hearts we can receive personal revelation about our lives as well as the direction of the world around us. Plus who doesn't relish in the opportunity to roll out of bed 5 minutes before church starts to watch it while wearing your pj's in the comfort of your own home. This was our first General Conference together and while we don't have any little folks running around that we have to keep entertained/focused, we do have to keep ourselves awake. Usually I do pretty well but there is something particularly soothing about the music, the speakers voices, and being in the comfort of your home that will inevitably put me to sleep for a bit during at least one session. So to combat General Conference Sleeping Sickness, Nate suggested a we work on a puzzle while watching conference. So he picked up a 1000 piece photocollage Snoopy puzzle, which we did manage to complete by the time the weekend was over. Though I think my head was swimming with images of Charlie Brown and Sally for a day or two; I got to know their various expressions very well.
On Sunday we went to dinner at my parents' house where they had invited the missionaries in their ward to join us. It was fun to all pile in the dining room and pass around plates of roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and rolls. It almost felt like a mini Thanksgiving holiday.
Then for desert we were treated to Marie Callendar's Chocolate Silk pie. Yum Yum! That Marie has a good thing going on. Overall it was a very enjoyable and rejuvenating weekend.
