General Conference

Lyndsay and I traveled to Salt Lake City on Saturday to attend General Conference. We had a real rainy trip. It was raining when we left, so when we got to Spanish Fork we stopped at Shopko and bought us an umbrella. Boy, we sure were glad that we did. It never stopped raining. When we got into Salt Lake we rode Trax to the conference center.
I was so pleased to be at conference to see President Monson. When he walked into the conference center it was drop dead quiet. You didn't dare talk. Also, it was just the greatest to hear Bro. Wirthlin speak. He made you laugh. What a great attitude when things around us seem so depressing. I guess we really do need to laugh and be grateful for what we have. We have shelter, food, and a job. I'm really grateful for my family and the gospel. Where would we be without our faith? I believe that our faith will have to get us through these hard times.

Sunday, we had a little get-together to celebrate Dusten's and Jerry's birthday. Lyndsay and Dusten, Landon and Lacey were able to be there. We had cake and ice cream. The cake was from Albertson's and it was so yummy. I don't know why I love the whipped topping cakes, but I do. I should have sent all of the left-overs with Landon and Lacey because I have been eating cake all day today.
I was just thinking that our family won't know how to act with a grandchild's birthday in February. All of our birthdays are in August, September, and October. Anyway, families are great!
