Conference Weekend! A Day of Relaxation and Inspiration

Not only is it my favorite time of the year, its my favorite Sunday of the year....
Happy Conference Weekend everyone!!


 Ryan and I are very excited to listen to some inspired men that help lead and guide us in our life together as a family and as disciples of Christs church! What a good time to relax and receive some divine inspiration.  


We had to plan out our treats for the sessions!
Bright and early this morning we enjoyed some delicious Reese's PB cups.
Holy crap....They are lovely.


Even More delicious.....
            Second session we enjoyed our homemade Spinach and Artichoke dip!

To make yourself
-You will need-

1 8Oz pkg Cream Cheese
1/2 Can Or(7oz) Artichoke Hearts, drained and chopped
1 1/2 C Frozen Chopped Spinach
1/4 C Mayo
1/2 C Parmesan Cheese
1/2 C Mozzarella Cheese
3 Cloves of Garlic
1/2 teaspoon of dried Basil
A dash of salt and pepper
 -mix together-
Place in pie dish and place some more cheese on top!
Bake in oven @ 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until top is browned.
Enjoy with veggies or chips!

Anyway, while we were nourishing our body with all of these amazing high caloric treats and dip we also nourished our minds and spirit!

Some of the things I took note to in my journal were not very helpful now that I am blogging about this....lol
(I've never been good at taking good notes.) I am going to post the two talks I really enjoyed.

These were my absolute favorite and have some pretty inspiring things they said.....
If you didn't a chance to listen today, here they are for your enjoyment.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
"The First Great Commandment"


President Henry B. Eyring
"Where is the Pavilion"


Thomas S. Monson
President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints


"The age of young men to serve missions is now 18 and for women it is 19 years of age"
 " Take an inventory of your blessings large and small."
"Never ignore the prompting to serve others."
"May we be tolerant and Loving"

Some of you may think I am silly for posting about Conference, but I really do love watching it and wanted to write my feelings down so I would remember what I felt today while I was listening to the things they had to say.

I found this Pin today and really liked it.

 I know I am not perfect and will never be. I realize I do not know everything, but I do know how I feel when I serve others and when I live the gospel to the best of my ability. I have faith and I have hope!
I live it and love it.

Thanks mom and dad for all you've taught me. I love you.
