It kind of feels like Christmas

Do you know what tomorrow is?!
Tomorrow is going to be a great day!
For a couple reasons:
1. It's time for this!

 Come listen to living prophets

2. It's sod day!
We will be listening to #1 while we lay #2!
I'm sure our neighbors will love it.. lol! 
But that's the best part about General Conference, it's for everyone!

The October General Conference always reminds me of this memory:
If you listen to the video with sound, please ignore my incredibly high voice and crazy laughter. I was SO nervous/excited.

We worked on that canoe for weeks, so when it came time to test it out, we were full of jitters! It worked like a champ, but we took it out to avoid some rapids and we weren't able to get back in without taking on water. So after we abandoned ship we ran back about a mile to the park where we met up with out friends who drove with us (PS they found those bottles and threw them away, they were not intoxicated).  We ran back because I needed to go to the Relief Society Session, I think when we started running it was about 5ish, the RS session starts at 6 and I needed to shower and get dressed! But I made it in time!

and this memory:
We decided to go on a drive in between sessions the Sunday of Conference (the next weekend after the cardboard canoe), it was beautiful!
As we were taking pictures we happened upon a professional photographer also taking pictures.
He offered to take one for us using my sweet husband's (who was my sweet boyfriend at the time) camera.
I love this picture! One of my all time favorites.

  1. What did you make that canoe out of? I think it's so awesome that you and your husband work on so many projects together, I'm sure it really strengthens your relationship! Also, LOVE that last picture of you two!

  2. We made it out of cardboard. Then we covered it with garbage bags and we put corrugated plastic (from the containers the stone came in for the outside of Glenwood... lol!) on the bottom so it would be a little more sturdy. Thanks! We love working together!
