April 2011 General Conference

To me, General Conference

is a weekend filled with peace.

To cancel out all calendar events,

and gather the family together at

the feet of the prophets

is a wonderful, and rare, thing.

Elder Richard G. Scott holds a special place in my heart,

and this conference he spoke on the eternal blessings of marriage.

"It is so rewarding to be married.

Marriage is wonderful.

In time you begin to think alike and

have the same ideas and impressions.

You have times when you are extremely happy,

times of testing,

and times of trial,

but the Lord guides you

through all of those growth experiences together."

...

Marriage IS wonderful!

And hard!

But yes, wonderful!

...

This is only one of many, MANY talks meant

for me.

And I'm so grateful for the opportunity to

learn, ponder, and

-the hard part!-

apply these principles!

Temple Night & The Heavy-Weight

Hands down,

one of the things that has brought Samuel and I closer together

is regular Temple attendance.

And we needed that

-and continue to need that-

desperately.

I love my husband.

And I am so very grateful to be his wife...

...for time and all eternity.

 And just as refreshments are crucial
to any successful Family Home Evening,

a date IS NOT a date,

unless you feed me!

Hence,

The Heavyweight Roast Beef Sandwich at

Sam's Hof Brau in Sacramento. 

If you've never been,

GO.

Don't forget...

Get your bun dipped,

order the mashed potatoes (brown gravy only),

and don't even think of sitting down

until you have at least

6-7 tubs
of
pickles!

Samuel's a smart man.

I left a happy woman!

And that means a very, very happy man!
