Busy weekend

It seems like we have nothing to do for so long and then, boom, it hits all at once. We had a lot going on in one weekend and had a lot of fun being busy. Can you believe I didn't take one picture? Well, I didn't, but I will tell you about it and you can just pretend like I have some awesome photo documentation to go along with it.

Saturday morning we headed over to a friend's house for breakfast. He is a fellow accounting guy (but works for a different company) and fellow BYU grad. Michael met him while out at BYU doing recruiting and they decided it would be fun to get our families together since we live so close. It was fun for Miriam to play with some friends. After a fun morning we headed out to a work function for Michael. The lead partner for his team was having a BBQ at his house. We got to meet a lot of the people that Michael works with and eat a lot of good food. You wouldn't believe this guy's basement. He is the biggest Penn State fan ever. His whole basement was decked out in Penn State gear. Not to mention the huge projection TV that the game was on. Oh yeah and the other four TVs showing other games. Did I mention the stadium seating and bar? It was a pretty amazing basement. We had a great time with Michael's co-workers. A full Saturday meant that by the time we got home the kids were exhausted. We made some pancakes for dinner and Michael headed out to the Priesthood session of General Conference. I put the kids to bed and spent the rest of the evening relaxing and talking to my Mom.

When Sunday morning came we were excited to be able to relax, eat, and most importantly listen to General Conference. Because we were so busy on Saturday we missed both sessions. (We are looking forward to catching them online later.) We headed over to Michael's parents house so we could watch it on TV (we would only be able to see it online at home). Michael made some onion dip and caramel apple cheesecakes bars to eat while we were there. Both were amazing and he can take total credit for making them. That is how it happens a lot around here. I find the great idea/recipe and Michael carries it out. Not a bad deal for me. Anyway, Conference was wonderful and I think the kids were grateful for a nice relaxing day. We are so grateful for the chance we had to listen to a living prophet who leads and guides us today.
