Wonderful Conference Weekend

This weekend was so great! We finally got a short break from the books to spend Conference weekend with the Moon fam. Saturday was pretty chill. We got to stay in the "Presidential Sweet" (this is what they call Camille's former bedroom). They thought of every detail, even down to the mint on each pillow. Cody got to celebrate his birthday an extra day with the Moon Fam gift opening. He loves his new shirt and tie! He wore it to the Priesthood session and looked oh so snazzy. Camille tried to study up on Accounting while she awaited her honey, but only made it an hour before she was napping on the couch. Once the boys arrived home from Priesthood, Andrew was off to pick up his homecoming date and Cody and I played around on the piano, looked at our wedding album proofs, and prepared the house for the homecoming dates to come for ice cream and games after the dance. It's weird to think how young those High Schoolers seem, when Camille was only there just two-three years ago. It was a huge dance group! It seemed like they were taking over the house! They pretty much occupied every room. It was fun to get to know Andrew's friends better, and see all the beautiful dresses the girls wore. The next morning we enjoyed Conference and a wonderful breakfast of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. In between conferences we met with the Christensen family (Nanette's extended relatives) and had a yummy lunch. It was good to see family we haven't seen in months and Camille got to meet several she didn't already know. Carl, one of the cousins, offered us tickets to the Sunday afternoon session, so we quickly finished our lunch to make it to the Conference Center on time. Well, it turns out parking was crazy! We looked and looked for a spot and it just didn't work out in time to make it. We decided to head back to Centerville and enjoy the rest of the day with the Moons. After conference, we had Hawaiian haystacks and yummy homemade apple pie! Mmm mmm. We took a short nap and then played this game where you ask tons of questions and get to know the group really well (some of you remember it as the "Go, go, go some more game";). We eventually made it back to Logan around 10:30 Sunday evening. It was quite the weekend, and we had tons of fun! Conference was wonderful. We really enjoyed the talks about talking to non-members about the church and our basic beliefs. Elder Holland has a knack for just saying it how it is...he has such power in his words. It is always a joy listening to our prophet's voice.
