exhausting but fabulous

Seriously who did not love General Conference? The talks were fantastic, and I loved all the funnies that the GA's made during the sessions. My dad got several tickets, and so we got to go to the Conference Center for 2 sessions with him and Aaron [brother] (and the boys also got to go to Priesthood session). What made this even more exciting was that dad got some tickets for my brother Jonathan, who you may remember is serving a mission in the Salt Lake City mission. His mission president said it was ok if we sat with him and took him to lunch on Saturday (actually what he said was "we are in a unique position being in Salt Lake and having families coming into town all the time, so you can see him and sit with him on conference weekend... and we figure if we can contain it to that we are doing pretty good." pretty funny).

So yes, we saw my missionary brother. It was so surreal watching him walk come down the aisle towards us. We got to chat with him, saw him for a big portion of the day on Saturday, and again on Sunday, and just hang out with him (and his companion of course) for quite a while. It was just fantastic. My mom, who didn't get to come out this time, was sooooo jealous. Sorry mom!
Also, you may (or may not) have noticed that Matthew and I were on TV during the intermediate hymn of the Sunday afternoon session. We're a big deal like that.
