If you need me this weekend....

I wish that I could say I would be here.....

Instead, I'll be spending my weekend listening to and watching this.

I always look forward to General conference. I think I first gained an appreciation for conference while serving my mission. I first arrived in Pennsylvania in early October 1996. My first church experience there was General Conference. I had never been anywhere where I couldn't just turn on the TV or the radio and have General Conference right there. Going to church to watch conference was a new experience for me. I think that was the first time that I really listened to all sessions of conference and I loved it.

Ever since that first General conference on my mission I always get the chills when the man comes on and says, "From Temple Square in Salt Lake City Utah..." or whatever it is he says. I love everything about conference. The speakers, the music, the pictures of temple square

and the lovely flowers. It just feels good and right and warm and fuzzy.

So don't worry if you don't hear from me for the next couple of days. I'll be enjoying a spiritual feast while listening to our beloved Prophet, President Hinckley,

as well as other leaders. Speaking of spiritual feasts. If you missed the Relief Society Broadcast you can have a listen here, or do a little reading. The speakers were great and I love the new General RS Presidency. Each one of them is so different and each has something unique to offer to the sisters of the church. So if you missed it, go check it out. :)

My kids also have Monday and Tuesday off from school, so I may not be back until Wednesday. I know what you are thinking, "But you promised Country music Monday and you haven't delivered!" Don't worry your country music loving selves, I'll make it up to you. :)

Have a great weekend!
