General Conference October 2010




After the craziness of Saturday, we actually had the opportunity to watch conference on Sunday.  ( we DVR'ed Saturday's...lucky us).  We had prepared the kids at FHE the week before conference...to get them ready.  They came up with a couple ideas for us to make traditions for Conference (we have tried MILLIONS of ideas over the years ...none of them has stuck).  This year, we had conference bingo....

And cinnamon rolls....to be honest, we had cinnamon rolls, french toast casserole, and egg/cheese casserole.  Yum to the 10th degree. 

and family, what is conference without a little extra family.  We sure love the Avey's!


I loved Pres. Uchtdorf's message about slowing down.  When we hit turbulence, we need to take care, and feed our souls.  I loved this talk.  I know sometimes I feel like I need to do more, be more, try harder, etc... But, this talk helped remind me to do the things that matter most...choose the best activities, and let the others slide for a bit.  That's a little hard, but since I am already letting things slide (not on purpose), I guess it needs to happen.
