Generally speaking, it's General Conference

We went for a whirlwind trip up to Utah to attend General Conference. We left Friday at about lunch time, so the kids missed a little bit of school. We arrived at my Aunt Vicki's in Provo not too much longer than we estimated despite needing to change a tire in the middle of Utah. We spent the day visiting family, and the BYU campus before retiring to Tooele for the evening.
Sunday we were up to watch conference on TV and eat conference cake of course! We left Tooele around 11:30 to attend the 2:00 session of conference. We loved stopping by the temple on temple square. It was crowded! It was refreshing to see so many people crowded around the temple. Inside the conference center, we sat in the balcony seating. The kids loved being there, I think their favorite part was watching the cameras move up and down and trying to guess which camera was broadcasting to the screen. It was wonderful to be in the presence of the apostles and prophets, even though they looked like little ants from where we were sitting. I really enjoyed listening to the messages that they gave and the sweet spirit that prevailed throughout the conference center. It was really special to be there with my family.
After conference ended, we immediately left for home and arrived home around 1:30 am. Life went back to normal from there, we were off to seminary at 6:30 that morning. It was quite the whirlwind trip, but I am so very grateful that we had the opportunity to go and enjoy this experience.
