Conference Weekend

This last weekend was a much needed break in preparation for a much stressful week.  Friday night we got to go to Derek's mission reunion, and I got to watch President Ellsworth do all the quirky things Derek always talks about.  It's true... everything Derek says he does, President really does.  

Saturday we got to spend time with Cara and Stephen as we watched the first session of Conference.  We went to Wal-mart in our pajamas then eat some fluffy German pancakes made by Stephen.  They were dang good!  

We met Barry Thomas (Californian that Derek baptized) and his Elder's Quorum President and  ate lunch with them at the Elder's Quorum President's mom's house.  Tho food was good, and the company was interesting.  Talking to Barry was fun.  He seemed to be doing well.  

Saturday night, Derek had the opportunity of sitting in the media room of the Conference Center and see how that all worked out.  He got to show up a BYU student, drink juice, eat candy, and read the talks before they were given.  All-in-all a good experience.  

While he did that, I got to dye eggs, plant flowers, eat hot dogs, and play with all the nieces and nephews.  I'm pretty sure he got the short end of the stick on that one.  

Sunday we ate food, watched conference, and played as reverently as we could with the nieces and nephews.  Kenadi cracks me up!  I'm pretty sure we were both entertained with each other for an hour, and nothing could distract us.  Traveling back to Rexburg was good.  If the weekend could have been longer, we would have both preferred that... I think.  I didn't ask Derek, but i think he'd agree.

So, now we're back at school studying and working and stressing... at least I am.  And now it's time to practice for my juries (finals for voice lessons).  Tomorrow at 9:50 (10:50 Mississippi time) please pray for me.  I'm struggling on some words and entrances.  Ok, I'm out for today.  We love you all!
