Easter

The Easter Bunny came and left me a poop trail to my Easter present!
A beautiful new ski top. I love it. Conner got a swimsuit for our upcoming trip to Hawaii in June. We can't wait!
We loved having Easter on Conference Sunday. What a special day. We went to my parents house for breakfast and the first session. Then we went with full bellies to lunch at Craig and Jerrie's to watch the second session. As I have gotten older, I realize that I have learned to appreciate General Conference more and more. And it is not because I can hang out in pajamas all day (although that is a plus)...We both look forward to hearing from the prophet and apostles and are eager to hear what their council will be. My favorite talk this year actually came from the Young Women's Conference which I was able to attend with the young women in my ward. Elder Uchtdorf spoke about living "happily ever after" just like the princesses we grew up idolizing. Although they do live happily ever after, they have to face trials just like we do. If we want our "happily ever after," we have to persevere through trials and tribulations leaning on the Lord for support. He also talked about how he met and courted his wife. I cried through the whole story. It was so romantic. You can read the whole story here. It was a great Easter and an excellent Conference weekend.
