I am sorry to admit it but I worked on getting a shipment of books ready during the conference. James has been bugging me about it and I figured I better get it done. I was still able to listen to almost all of the talks. I did miss some in the priesthood session. 

My book shipment was supposed to be one box weighing 50 lbs. but Amazon split it into three shipments going 3 different places. I had to find 2 more boxes and the shipping costs more. I'm not sure why they do this unless it is to drive people like me crazy!

We got the three boxes ready and after the afternoon session of conference James took off for town to the UPS store. Imagine his surprise when he arrived and there was a sign on the door: "Sorry for the inconvenience but we are closed today."  Grrr. Well, hopefully they were home watching conference.

We heard lots of rumors about changes to be made during conference. 
1. Choice of 18 months or 24 months to serve a mission.
2. Approving coffee and tea. After all, they aren't any worse than coke or energy drinks. (Wishful thinking on the part of some people on this one).
3. We are only going to be asked to wear our garments in the temple. I laughed when Trina told me this one. I said, "How can they be a shield and a protection to us if we don't wear them?"

After James watched the priesthood session. I started watching the new Hallmark movie, "True Love Blooms." I am sorry to say I fell asleep before it was over.

President Eyring gave my favorite talk today. The entire first session was great. The bishop wants us to change whatever talk we were using on April 28th, both Relief Society and Elder's Quorum and used Elder Holland's talk from this conference. All righty then.

The road to our house is difficult, especially
after it snows or rains.

This is so sweet. The child has been taught well.
Good job Autumn and Palmer!




Poor sweetie has a rash. Probably from the
antibiotic she is on for her ear infection.



I love this picture!

 Another one of those great talks!


 So pretty!

James's new pets.

 Elder Uchtdorf's talk gave five suggestions
for being better missionaries.

 Gonzo's at the new Marvel movie.
(I hope that's right)


My movie for the evening

What? I know I had over 10,000 steps!
I've been robbed!
