Night up the canyon

I love driving up the canyon, especially in the fall. Here are some pictures from my Tuesday evening visit with nature.

General Conference

This past weekend was simply wonderful! What a blessing it is to be able to listen to the chosen leaders of our Lord and receive insights, words of wisdom and inspiration from the apostles and from the spirit. I went into this Conference session hungry and ready to learn and was touched so many times by messages that penetrated my heart. The Lord knew what I was in need of and my mind and heart were open.

I had intended to include in this post some of the gems from the weekend, but as I read over my notes, I remembered how deeply personal they were. What resonated in my soul would not mean the same to anyone else- that being one of the joys of the gospel. But I can say this...I left with so much hope and joy and resolve to do better. I am filled with gratitude for the messages that were given and for the reminder that the Lord knows me and loves me.

Go UTES!!! Hello Dallin!!!

Last night I went to the Utah vs. Oregon game with my friends Rich and Jason. It was one of the best games I've been to in my life!! We played alright for the first half but pretty much killed things in the second. The majority of the second half we were down 21-20. That would have been a pretty heart-breaking loss- One point! But then they spared us that fate by scoring again. :( With two minutes left and a quarterback that had thrown away most of the game, the Utes pulled a miracle and scored 11 points, the last being a field goal with 1 second left. It was INCREDIBLE!!!! I've never been to a game like that. So much energy and excitement. I loved it! GO UTES!!!

Last week was amazing as well. I did a lot of personal thinking and growing, had some fun dates, experienced the Melting Pot for the first time, ended the summer season with a good wake boarding run, played some good glow-in-the-dark ultimate frisbee, got a new assignment as a guide for first-time sisters at the temple, went to the Utah game against Weber State, and spent time with family and friends- both old and new.

Best of all...I got a new nephew!!! His name is Dallin and he looks just like his older brother Owen. He is the second grandkid/nephew and we think he is adorable! You can judge for yourself :)
