my weekend of wonders

Let's pretend for just a couple of minutes, that perhaps today is Sunday. So if needed imagine that you are in your pajama's, it's Sunday evening, you just finished a glorious week, and you are getting yourself all ready for the next one. You there yet? Perfect. Then in that case, it's not like I'm posting this late at all.

Brooke, Kari, Hilary, me, and Emily on the field!!

Well it only makes logical sense to explain how terrific my weekend was if I start with the beginning of it on Friday, which was seriously just a day so good I could giggle. I'm not really sure why, yeah good stuff happened, but really it was just one of those morning where I woke up smiling, kept that smile hanging around all day, and fell asleep with it still on my face. I mean it really didn't hurt that BYU won their football game in an epic final 20 seconds, and that we then got to storm the field. Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah.
and don't worry, I have evidence of this happening...


But no fears, the weekend of wonder did not end there, it only go better with guess...just guess..GENERAL CONFERENCE. The older I get and the more understanding that I have for the wonderful gospel the more and more I absolutely love General Conference. For those of you not familiar with what this is, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Twice a year (in April and October) we have General Conference broadcasted all over the world for members of our church and ANYONE who is interested (you can still check it out at www.lds.org). Our modern day Prophet and his apostles deliver messages in 4 different 2 hour sessions, 2 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. Which seems like a lot, but every second of it is a blessing! On Saturday evening to keep the spirit around Emily and I decided to go for a drive up through Provo Canyon, and it certainly was STUNNING! Fall is my absolute favorite time of year, I love the colors and weather...and my birthday is in the Fall so let's be honest that helps a little too. Anyways, to celebrate the beauty of the canyon..and our beauty of course we had a little mini photo shoot...

so lovely I just can't stand it

seriously though...your thinking right now of somewhere
 beautiful you can go for a drive arn't ya?

Emily and Me just lovin' up the Provo Canyon

But seriously, somehow the greatness of this weekend did not end here. Lucky me, my friend Kari had some friends drive up from her hometown for General Conference and they happened to have an extra ticket and guess who got it. And oh yeah it was me!!! I got to attend the Sunday afternoon session and it was positively  fantastic. :) Afterwards, we took a little walk around temple square which was the perfect end to such a fantastic weekend.

Me and my friends Rachel, and Kari just after General Conference with the Salt Lake City Temple behind us.

p.s. so excited that they are building a second temple in Provo and a temple in Paris, France. So. Cool.

p.s.s sorry this was late, hope you had a great time pretending that today is Sunday. You may now go back to your regularly scheduled programming
