General Conference Weekend

Justin and I marvel at the organization and orchestration of The Church of Jesus Christ that allows us to view the live Broadcast of General Conference from Salt Lake City. It was like having a little piece of home in our living room. I have a deep love for the leaders of this church. Seeing and hearing them address us this weekend made me realize I miss them like family. After listening, we are uplifted, motivated, touched, humbled, inspired, and well taught. We are so grateful our church extends all over the world so we can be positively influenced and blessed by it's power regardless of where we live.
Miley was so good this weekend. It was rainy and cold outside, so we stayed indoors for all sessions and she just played happily right by our side. She would smile, wave, and say "hi" to President Monson whenever he was speaking.
We had a good time, and enjoyed just hanging out together. But, being inside all day can make us do crazy things.
We might have had too much fun, because we are really wishing tomorrow wasn't Monday:(

isn't that photo booth program silly? We took the same kind of pictures when we got out computer. I am glad Miley enjoyed conference and allowed you enjoy it as well. Sammy was a little on the active side so I wasn't able to enjoy as much as I'd like to. Thank goodness for the Ensign!
