Conference Weekend

This pass weekend was Conference, so on Saturday night the men went to their priesthood meeting, and we had girls night out (kind of), we were missing half of the girls, Ashlee was at home taking care of her little boys who were sick with the stomach flu, and Amber (who is pregnant) started to feel a couple of contractions, and decided that she should probably just take it easy at home. So we missed them, but still had a good time. My mom, Aimee, Sadie, and I went and ate at Los Hermanos. Yummy to my tummy. I love conference weekend, gives me a good excuse to hang out with my Families, and boy do we have fun. Sunday morning we go to the Marchbanks and have our semi-annual breakfast, Waffles with strawberries and ice cream......Sooooo good. We then watch the morning session of conference with them. Then it is off to the Bigos house to eat lunch and to celebrate Ambers, and Ashlees birthdays. We had Shish-ka-bobs, asparagus, parsley garlic potatoes, roasted tomatoes, grilled pineapple, salad and bread, and for dessert, Strawberry shortcake. What a feast, my mouth is watering just typing about it. We then watched the second half of conference, with my family, and then when that is over we watch Amber and Ashlee open presents. They got a lot of fun stuff this year. I love my families(Bigo, and Marchbanks.) Besides all of the food that I ate, my favorite part of the weekend is being able to watch conference, and listen to the Apostles speak, it always kind of gives me a picker-upper that I need. Most of you know that it has been over four years that we have been trying to have a baby, and listening to the talks every conference gives me a renewed sense that everything will work out. Heavenly Father is there and loves us and we just need to put our trust and faith in him. I am so grateful for the gospel and wonderful families, that I can hold tight to.
