Holy Weekend!

  I don't know if my fingers are capable of typing everything that happened this weekend! It was just that good, so we'll see if they can keep up. On Friday around noon, I loaded my bags into the car of a fellow relief society member, and headed off to Lehi, Utah. It felt like quite a long trip. With one wrong turn we were even heading towards wyoming...hahah. But Luckily I found that familiar house, with my wonderful Aunt Denise waiting for me inside. A little later, Sean and Pedro called and said they were on their way. I could hardly keep my eyes off the window as we waited. It was a happy reunion when we met up. I was very happy to see both of them. It was especially nice seeing Pedro again, might I add.

 After we settled down, we all decided to go visit Brooks at Olive Garden. So we went and had a nice dinner, with a pretty cool waiter. haha. Thanks Brooksy! After dinner it was monopoly time, and of course I lost first....lame. But the game went on. I don't really know what the end results were, but I know that it got pretty intense. All I can say is that it was pretty fun to watch...and listen. 

After Monopoly, we turned out the lights and played Murderer around a candle, probably one of the funnest parts of the night.  Weston was pretty much the main target, and apparently everyone wanted him dead first. I know I did. hahah. Love ya, Weston. Another good part was that Pedro didnt let go of his pillow the whole night. I've never seen him so scared. It was hilarious. Our murderer game turned into everyone passing out on the floor and quoting Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. It was quite the night.

The next morning Aunt Denise and I got up around 9ish. We were supposed to wait for Sean and Pedro to come over for breakfast, but we know better....so we went to mcdonald's. The guys didnt show up until about 11:30 anyways, and by then it was almost time for lunch. So we went to In-N-Out, because "its tradition" Mikey, Dane and Holly came with us to eat. After lunch we went to the Halloween store, and Pedro got yelled at for putting on an Avatar mask. hahah.

Following our pit stop at the halloween store, we went back to the house and watched some conference...while sean and pedro snoozed on the ground. The boys went to the preisthood session and Amber, Heather, Aunt Denise, Brinley and Cambree went to the University Mall. It was a mad house... I guess its the thing to do when your man's away at preisthood. hahah. After the mall we stopped by this cute little chocolate cake place where we had a warm chocolate chip cookie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Sooooo good! 

Then came Thanksgiving Point. So much fun! Pedro, Sean, Mikey, Brooks, Aunt Denise, Heather, Laura (Brook's Girlfriend) and Me all went together, and walked the huge cornmaze and played on the huge slides, and walked through the "beast" maze. It was so much fun. So much fun, I bet sean and pedro even still have their wristbands on. It definitely was an awesome night.

Sunday morning came along. Sean, Pedro and Sam all came over before breakfast and to watch the first Sunday session. When it finished we started getting ready for the second session. We left with plenty of time to get to to conference center, but along the way there were seriously about 4 car crashes. Luckily we made it to the conference center in time to get our seats, before the session started. 

The session was amazing, and the conference center is gorgeous. I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to go. I was blessed to be there with my aunt, cousin, boyfriend, best friend and a good friend/roommate.

After the session was over, we walked temple square and took a picture in front of the Salt Lake Temple. I got to see some friends from the Cypress single's ward from back home. I even got to see President Mackay, which was really nice. 

Once our walk and visit had ended it was time to head back to idaho. Sean dropped us off in Roy City, where we waited for our ride. The ride home went quite fast. I was really exhausted from the weekend, and it was pretty hard saying goodbye to everyone and having to go back to school. But i'm adjusting alright, and I am counting down the days to Pedro's baptism, when I get to go home for 4 days! I'm so excited. 30 days!! 

I had a wonderful weekend, and can't wait to see my family and Pedro again. But for now its time to buckle down and get back to the book. Take care everyone! Love you all!

Love, Leah
