Weekend Fun

This weekend was so much fun. On Friday I drove down to St. George to see my mother-in-law run the marathon. We woke up Saturday morning to rain, rain, and more rain. It was about 50 degrees most of the day...odd for St. George. The race began at 6:45am and she finished around ten. 3 hours and 31 min was her time...go mom!!! I am totally inspired by her. After, we biked home in the rain back to our B&B and snuggled into bed to watch conference.

I love love love General Conference. I am so sad when it's over and get excited for 6 months to pass. This year I was away from David because he couldn't get time off work to come down to Utah. I missed him lots. I did however get to spend some great time with my sister-in-law Mindy. She is at BYU and so I miss seeing her around. We had late nights of talking and laughing and watching conference together. I had way too many favorites to mention but the message was clear. We as members still need to give more, have more faith & hope, give more charity. I hope that I can continue to reference these talks in the next few months and heed the counsel given.

We ended up driving up to Provo on Sunday night and I got to see my brother Hansen. He is so cool. I mean he is the best big brother a girl could ask for. He loves me and he tells me...so cool. I did however blow it for him....let me explain. Hansen has said from the beginning that he didn't want to know what we are having. He wanted it to be a surprise. I made sure everyone in the family knew not to tell him if it was a boy or girl, even talking to him in the last few weeks, I've still said "it" or "the baby". Well, one of the first things I say to him when I saw him was; 'The baby is kicking so much. I'll let you feel him if he does, he's such a little stinker' ahhh... I didn't even realize I said it until he told me I blew it for him. Oh well, after all that, and I tell him.

The driving wasn't much fun. Pregnant women are not comfortable as is...10 hours in the car; not helping. But everything else was totally worth the drive. Being with family is great.

I'm excited for this month. Weekend fun every time. This week it's Jacob's baptism and all the Daines' are coming. Next week (and the week after) it's vacation with my family! I can't wait to see them! And then...it's Halloween which to me is the beginning of the holiday season.
