Saturday night while Bruce was in the Priesthood Session of General Conference. I attended a "Ladies Night" that was put on by Deseret Book and got to listen to Hilary Weeks perform. She is amazing. I love her new album.

we didn't fly home until Monday night so we took a drive into the mountains where it was snowing

we saw some beautiful sights

and.....

we toured the roof of the Church office building. What amazing views!!!!

Favorite Quotes

"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience."
-Gordon B. Hinckley"

Be kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."

-Majorie Pay Hinckley"

"All of us, single or married, are eternally part of some family—someway, somewhere, somehow—and much of our joy in life comes as we correctly recognize and properly develop those family relationships. We come to this earth charged with a mission: to learn to love and serve one another. To best help us accomplish this, God has placed us in families, for he knows that is where we can best learn to overcome selfishness and pride and to sacrifice for others and to make happiness and helpfulness and humility and love the very essence of our character."
"The Power of Family Prayer," Ensign, May 1982, 50

The important role of extended family

"In today's world, where Satan's aggression against the family is so prevalent, parents must do all they can to fortify and defend their families. But their efforts may not be enough. Our most basic institution of family desperately needs help and support from the extended family and the public institutions that surround us. Brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, grandparents and cousins can make a powerful difference in the lives of children. Remember that the expression of love and encouragement from an extended family member will often provide the right influence and help a child at a critical time."
