The 185th Semi-Annual Conference of

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

James and I look forward to General Conference every six months where we can sit in the comfort of our own home and be spiritually fed by our Church leaders.

In his favorite place, sitting in his favorite chair, in his

favorite outfit (he just got back from bugling for elk),

listening and watching General Conference.

James is drinking Pero and just finished eating an almond poppy seed muffin.  That's my Dr. Pepper10 and I will be sitting right beside him during conference.  We love taking notes and then reading the addresses when they come out in the Ensign.  I listen to or read each conference talk from the last conference once a month for the next six months.  I love General Conference and I am so grateful for living prophets!

We had planned on going in to town to get some groceries before the Priesthood session and before Sheri and Ian arrived.  We got about 10 miles down the road and the truck started heating up so we turned around and came home.  We called Sheri and they were just arriving in Show Low so we asked them to please bring us some anti-freeze.  

The Trezise's arrive just in time to watch the Priesthood session of conference with James.  Sheri and I hang out in the bedroom and watch "A Novel Romance", our Hallmark movies of choice.  Evan goes back and forth between conference and our Hallmark movie.
