Without a doubt, one of my favorite fall activities is conference weekend. The world is so beautiful. I have been so ornery about the changing leaves this year. I have been resentful of the colors turning gold and orange. I was feeling like it was the coming of cold and dark. I don't like the cold and dark. I like spring and the world when it turns green. Watching conference this weekend has helped me to remember that I love fall also. It is a beautiful time of year. I love listening to the leadership of our church. I loved when President Monson talked about enjoying the journey. I thought about the years when my girls were little. He talked about the regrets that we have when our children are gone. I have plenty of things that I know I could have done better. But I have so many wonderful memories of good times. The girls and I spent many happy hours together....watching TV late at night, running to movies, getting pizza, and treat runs to Smith's. Sitting together at church and holding hands during the Sacrament, reading the scriptures together, and listening to conference together. I am so grateful for the many memories of good times. It is so fun to make new memories with all of you as you mold and develop your own families. It is such a blessing in my life to see you grow to love the gospel and teach it to your children. Remeber what President Monson said and "Enjoy the Journey".
