October 2009
Well the trip to Utah was great! Magda and I had a fun time travelling together. I sure learned so much about her life and it was a good bonding experience for us. I got to see three of my mission companions, Heidi, Suzanna and Lillie. I wished I could have seen more of them but it was awesome to hang out. I feel a special connection with each of them. It was great to go to 2 sessions of conference and seeing everything in person. I got so much more out of conference being there and also because my focus was completely on conference and not on my 2 little ones running around.
It is beautiful down there in the fall with all the vibrant changing leaves. I love when you drive and see so many temples, especially at night when they are all lit up. I got to go to the Draper temple which was beautiful.
I went to my mission reunion which was a bit anticlimactic as I expected it to be one of the highlights of the trip but some people I thought were coming didn't come during the time period that I was there (we left early because we had other plans that night). But I did get to see a few people and my first mission president and his wife, the Aki's. It was fun to see the slides of the mission and the memories from that time.
Shopping was awesome down there I got a lot of good deals. I got to see some good friends too which was awesome. Time went by fast but I feel I did what I wanted to do and by the time the week was over I was really missing my family and was ready to go home. It was so much fun to have time for myself and choose what I wanted to do and go at my own schedule. I sometimes really miss that and it's important to get away once and a while to experience that and recharge the batteries so to speak.
I'm excited for Halloween this year with the girls. We had our church Halloween party which was fun. They are at an age where things are really exciting and they have such enthusiasm for life. You can't help but want to make more of an effort for their benefits.
I'm very lucky to have everything that I do and thank God every day for it.
