Weekend Review

Let me start off by saying...I love Roku.

This is similar to what we have...you can read about it here.

We have one for our t.v. and it allows us to watch the BYU channel (for free!) without having to have all (or really any) of the cable channels.  It's awesome!

Anyway...moving on...

Conference was soooooo good!  I can't wait to hear and read the talks over and over.  There were fabulous messages shared, and I was definitely spiritually fed.  (I mean it...Thanksgiving all the way through Christmas fed...)

Some of my favorites were:

President Boyd K. Packer
President Henry B. Eyring
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
President Thomas S. Monson
Elder Robert D. Hales

...just to name a few...

On Sunday, my friend Lindsay Roberts (you may remember her...she's the same girl from the Northern Lights post...) invited me over to her house for traditional biscuits and gravy conference breakfast with her and her family.

And oh my goodness- it was delicious!  (There was sausage AND bacon in the gravy.  Mind. Blown!)

I watched both sessions of conference with the Robert's gang...with a game of Ticket to Ride in the middle.  (So fun!)

We even played conference bingo during the sessions.

(This picture was taken before I ate all the purple pieces...that's the problem with having candy as the bingo pieces...)

Lindsay and I also went on a Sunday walk.  She showed me around her neighborhood, and showed me where the stairs down to Alpenglow Elementary are.  (I live down near-ish the elementary, so now I know how to get around the neighborhood better on foot.  Hooray!)

The paths are all still covered in snow.  So that plus a beautiful sunny Sunday made things get a little slushy.

Don't worry...I got out.  (I  could tell you all were worried...)

Sunday night the Robert's family was invited over to dinner at our bishops house.  Since I was at their house when they got the invitation they told the bishop I would be coming over with them...  (Talk about being in the right place at the right time!)  We had delicious BBQ food and we played a really fun game called Take It Easy.

It's such a fun game!  I loved it!  (But it's hard to "take it easy" during the game...especially towards the end...)

And that's all I have to say...for now anyway  :)

Oh wait...one more thing.  I took this picture tonight at 8 p.m.

It's really easy to lose track of time around here...especially at night!  I have a feeling it's going to be an interesting transition getting used to all this light...and hopefully it won't include any form of insomnia :)
