My Weekend Was Better Than Your Weekend :)

You may not think the above title is true...but let me tell you....I had a dang good weekend!

 Friday was my brother Ethan's birthday! 13! Holy Smokes! Can you believe it? My parents took he and a friend camping for the weekend. Despite the rain it sounds like they had a great trip. Ethan was right in his element.

Friday night I went to the football game vs. Utah State with my cousins Emily and Daniel. Our seats were horrible, but the game was awesome! We scored in the last 15 seconds to win the game! My friend Sandra Mazzarelli drove up to Provo for the weekend and came and sat with us halfway through the game. It was so fun to see her and catch up with her!

After the game I met up with Rachel, Amanda, Mckenna, and Shannon for a minute since Shannon was down for the weekend from Arizona. I love these girls and it was so fun to briefly catch up with them!

 That same night Daniel and I drove up Provo Canyon to get to the Story's cabin for General Conference weekend. I was so excited to be up at the cabin with extended family members for the first time for their conferene weekend festivities. It was a blast! General Conference was amazing. I loved hearing the men and women speak. One of my teachers here at BYU even spoke! I probably screamed for a good minute when I saw him approach the podium. It's like knowing a celebrity!:) So many different things that the apostles and leaders of the church mentioned applied to me and I learned a lot. They also announced another temple being built in Provo!! BOOYAH!! I feel so lucky to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I love being able to hear from modern day prophets who recieve revelation and know exactly what we need to hear. If you missed Conference you should definitely check it out :)  http://lds.org/general-conference/watch?lang=eng

I love this picture of President Monson!

Another great part about my weekend?? Getting to spend it with the people I love! I have the best family members on the planet!

 We always have such a great time together. Besides watching Conference the weekend consisted of football, food, crafts, food, nerf gun fights, food, movies, food, hot chocolate, food, games, food, food, and food. On Saturday night the boys decided to have a contest to see who could catch the most sour patch kids in their mouths while spinning....bad idea to do on a slippery wood floor. Good thing I got in on tape :)

Funny story...after the Sunday afternoon session of Conference Aaron, my cousin, came upstairs and told us how he had fallen asleep during the last few talks. My sister then proceeded to tell Aaron that they announced when the second coming was going to happen to which Aaron replied "What?! Really?? When is it?!" Hahaha Speaking of Aaron, he took me on a gator ride around the mountain on Sunday night. It was beautiful! I forgot that in other places of the world there are actually seasons! Arizona is basically the same all year round...but Utah's leaves change colors! Haha It was beautiful :)

Later that night Aubrie, Aaron, and Bryce (one of the workers at Steve's farm), and I all played games. After playing Apples to Apples we decided that whatever green cards we collected were the cards that describe our personalities. Here were my green cards. Accurate? I think not.

   We also played the game where you stick an oreo on your forehead and try to get it into your mouth withoug using your hands. Funny :)

Later that night Jeff, Daniel, Dallin, and I stayed up watching Sky High. Strange movie. Hahaha I love my cousins!

DISNEY IS COMING TO AUDITION PEOPLE IN OREM ON OCTOBER 14TH TO BE PERFORMERS!! I'm totally going :) Wooo! Over and out.
