I love it. We've gone like... 4 whole days without a single layer of snow on us! No no.. i take it back, Saturday we woke up to white but it quickly disappeared. Okay, so 3 days without snow! Yiippppppeee! It was awesome to walk around outside today. Everywhere we went there were people outside. Now, if only Easter weekend would be this nice....
In other news-- Conference----WAS AWESOME. It's so nice to listen to a prophet of God and know that no matter how scary and crazy the world gets, we're gonna be okay if we follow him. I felt like so much focus was on just finding joy in difficult times. Life = trials. That's what we signed up for and so we shouldn't complain so much about it because it is only for our benefit and growth. I'm one of those they mentioned that has had pretty smooth sailing for quite awhile now (life really has been pretty good for us!!!) and I almost feel like a sitting duck waiting for something really difficult to hit us. I don't "want" trials but I know they're bound to come so... i guess it's better I'm feeling prepared for it.
I also have a renewed determination to serve more. I've been feeling the need the past few weeks and listening to conference certainly confirmed it for me. However, I also really appreciated what Elder Oaks said about service because he made mention of parents raising children are serving.... so although I feel guilty that I use being too tired from pregnancy and chasing after a 2 year old to get out a serve other people, at least I'm serving my family.
So many talks were focused on serving in the temple's too. We've been pretty good about going once a month, but sometimes we feel rushed and I liked how they emphasized the need to go there without a time restraint and leave your watch off so that you can completely focus on serving, learning, and feeling the spirit. I came away feeling very grateful to live in the shadow's of the temple.... That one guy (forgetting his name) who talked about the Logan Temple in particular-- yeah, that was pretty cool to us.
One last talk I want to make mention of is Elder Hollands... wasn't it amazing? He said some pretty profound things about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I am just sooooooo grate ful for a knowledge of the Savior and His plan and that we have purpose here on Earth. I loved General Conference so much. I also loved spending time with my husband this weekend. We went on several walks with Tianna and took her to the park. We had some friends come over for the Saturday afternoon session and it was also fun to do something with them.
All in all, it was a great weekend. I love that it was followed up by a beautiful sunny day.
He's a glimpse of our crazy Tiannimal. She's such a joy in our lives! Here she is just enjoying General Conference to the fullest! (Like she does with most things in life)
