Conference Weekend, Quick Trip to Utah.

Well, here it is Thursday night and I haven't written my blog for this week.  I usually do this on Sunday evening but the weekend was kind of a blur right now.  We returned to Ogden/Salt Lake on Saturday morning so we could attend the wedding of my nephew Eric and Jamie Niel.  The events were very nice and the bride and groom looked wonderful.  It was nice to visit with my sister for a bit and my brother Mont and his wife while there.  My children also came to the reception so it was great to get to see them.
On Sunday we watched conference.  What a wonderful conference it was.  There wasn't one talk I didn't enjoy.  I was especially touched with President Monson and his testimony,  Near the end of his talk he started slumping a little.  We could tell he was getting pretty weak and the brethren right behind him were ready to jump up to help him if he fell over.  What a heart-felt testimony he delivered.  Such a valiant servant of God.
After conference the kids and grandchildren came over for one of their favorite meals-chicken and noodles.  This has been a family favorite with my own children and the spouses for years.  I know all the grandchildren love it too.  It was great getting to hear all of them trying to catch up on the week with each other.  I will be happy to have that part of our Sunday's back next June.  I love our time here in Hawaii but Sunday's tend to be a very long day because we are finished with church at 11:00 AM.

Our schedule at the temple is all mixed up this month due to it being the last month for the current presidency.  They wanted to serve one week with each shift so we have been moved around also.

This week Larry's granddaughter, Kaylee is here visiting her cousin so we have been able to see her a few times which has been very nice.  Later this month my daughter Carlee and her family will be coming over to visit us so that will be a good time as well.

I think I will close with this much tonight and promise to write more next week.
