At the first of October we thought about going to Hawaii for a dental conference with some of our friends from dental school. The trip fell through, so we decided that the next best thing was to meet in Utah! We met up with our good friends, Jon and Sarah and had such a fun weekend, it was nice to drop the kids off at my parents and just hang out with adults for the weekend. We stayed at Jon's sisters apartment, which we really appreciated, it was nice to be able to stay up late chatting and catching up.
Friday we spent the majority of the day shopping, mainly at Tai Pan, I love that store. Watching Sarah try to fit everything in her suitcase to fly home with was entertaining, she did have a few casualties but hopefully everything can be repaired. Friday night we went to the BYU v. Utah State football game. It was a fun game and thankfully it didn't get too cold. After the game we had to make a stop at Iceberg, one of Sarah's favorite Utah eating spots. I do take fry sauce for granted.
Most of my bestest friends are Cougar fans

Believe it or not the Aggies scored first, I had to take a picture just in case no one believed me. We were just happy that it was a good game!!

Saturday we got up and stood in line for General Conference. While we were waiting someone walked by and offered us four tickets so we ended up and getting really good seats in the Conference Center. Ryan can't get enough of Jon's IPhone.

It was such a good session of Conference. They talked a lot about love- Christ's love for us and our love for our family and friends. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sang 'Come, Come, Ye Saints' at the end of the session and it was so powerful- the spirit was really strong. I love Conference, I enjoy when it comes around. This was my first time ever going and it was a great experience. I would love to do it again. I am so happy to be a member of this church!
After conference we ate at the Lion House restaurant for lunch and it was so good. Their rolls and honey butter are amazing.
After lunch we did a little shopping at Gateway and then headed back over to Temple Square to watch the Joseph Smith movie at the Legacy Theater. Once the movie started I realized that we had seen it before, but I still enjoyed it. It makes you really appreciate everything Joseph Smith went through to restore the Church.
Ryan and Jon then headed back to the Conference Center for the Priesthood session and Sarah and I headed back to Gateway to do a little more shopping! We met up for dinner afterwards and then hung out at the apartment until 2:00 in the morning and headed back to my parents. It was such a good weekend and really was one of the highlights of our fall. We love Jon and Sarah and it's always a good time whenever we get to hang out!
I hope to do it again soon!!
