. . . this was one of
my favorite two weekends
of the year . . .
. . . i love listening
to the inspired words
of our church leaders . . .
. . . and . . .
. . . i love to get
to the bottom
of my ironing pile . . .
. . . it's my general conference
tradition . . .
. . . and it keeps me awake! . . .
. . . especially if i arm myself
with diet coke
and leftover cadbury eggs . . .
. . . i'm always on the lookout
for my hometown girl,
tricia hyde swanson . . .
. . . we grew up in the same ward . . .
. . . she has a spectacular
first soprano voice
and has been in the choir
for a long, long time . . .
{top row, center, dark hair ~ she and her voice are beautiful}
. . . tv screen photos
in fluorescent lighting
are awful . . .
. . . but let's take a vote . . .
. . . and i'm sure
you'll all agree with me . . .
. . . periwinkle dresses
are waaaaaaaay better
than mauve . . .
. . . and it's good to see
everyone in their assigned seats
two days in a row . . .
. . . president uchtdorf
makes all the foreign names
of general authorities
sound fantastic
with his awesome german accent . . .
. . . and funny internet people
make me laugh with
{maybe slightly inappropriate ~ yet true}
sayings like this . . .
. . . after the first hour
of the morning session,
and several white shirts . . .
. . . the congregation and choir
stood to sing a rest hymn . . .
. . . "let us all press on" . . .
. . . and maybe it made me laugh . . .
. . . after the first two-hour session . . .
. . . halfway through
the afternoon session . . .
. . . and i was finished
after four hours . . .
. . . i never claimed to be
a super fast ironer . . .
. . . but i AM good! . . .
. . . my favorite
{are we allowed to have a favorite?}
speaker . . .
. . . if i had to choose one . . .
. . . is nearly always
elder jeffrey r. holland . . .
. . . it seems like every talk he gives
is a masterpiece . . .
. . . another true funny . . .
. . . after the final session ended . . .
. . . it was time
to get my skewers on . . .
. . . and chris was a great sport
and worked hard
at grilling them up . . .
{sorry about all the smoke in your eyes, chris!}
. . . while tyler had his hands full
keeping colby entertained . . .
. . . and yes, we did
have an easter egg hunt . . .
. . . a week after easter . . .
. . . bill filled them with candy . . .
. . . then addi and halleigh
hid all the eggs . . .
. . . elliott didn't mind a bit
that we were a little tardy . . .
. . . and tagg was happy
to show me his treasures . . .
. . . while brent napped on the lawn . . .
. . . feeling the spirit,
being productive,
good food,
and family time . . .
. . . that about sums up
one of my favorite two weekends
of the year . . .
. . . i'm already looking forward
to october . . .

amen.
those sayings are too hilarious. Where did you find them? And you have pretty ironing. I'm always curious to read what all of us women do during General Conference. Just can't sit still, that's for sure.
I truly agree that periwinkle dresses look so much prettier than that pinky-mauve!!!!
your conference edition is great, love the ironing and the commentary
Oh those funny posters are just so funny! Where do you find them?!
WOW! That's a lot of ironing...an Easter egg hunt anytime is a very good thing! FUN!
