The One Without the Countertops


Finally a new post! I know, I know, we lag. But the important thing is we're back. We hope to be more regular bloggers and not let school completely take over our lives. We are living in Washington, Utah which is right outside of St. George both enrolled full-time at Dixie State College. We love it. We are so happy here. Although we miss lots of things about Vegas i.e. restaurants whenever we want, Maury Sue, some people in our old ward, being closer to my Mom, etc. We know we are where we need to be right now.
One thing we are excited about at this time of year, PAJAMA SUNDAY! That's right, it's General Conference this weekend. A time to listen to prophets speak to us and guide us in these times.
I had a conversation with a friend who happened to be a member of the Jehovah's Witness church. She was particularly funny and told me, "Ya know Anderson, I've been thinking. And I think the Mormons have got something on the Jehovah's Witness' Watching church at home twice a year in your clothes of choice! Why haven't we thought of that yet?" I laughed and laughed and then told her a little about why we do it and who speaks, then I told her how wonderful it all really is, pajamas aside.
I am excited and filled with love at the thought of listening to the Prophet speak to us this weekend. I love the traditions that were instilled in me from a young age to be excited to watch General Conference. To make traditions in my new young family like being surrounded by good food, friends, family and the Spirit. I have been preparing and I am excited to find out what will be said this weekend. Come listen to a Prophets voice...
