Chaplain Conference & Hurricane Trip

This year Grandma and Grandpa Brown met us in Eden (about an hour from SLC), and stayed at a condo with us and watched the kids while we went to Chaplain Conference. I love that we've been able to do this and we'll enjoy it while we are close enough to drive! We celebrated Roslyn and Jeremy's birthday while we were there, and watched conference, too!

Chaplain Conference was so good, we really enjoyed a lot of the speakers and getting to catch up with other chaplains and spouses. We also got to hear Elder Eyring speak the last day, he basically tossed his talk out that he'd written and was just real with us. He shared stories and things he's learned throughout his life and the Spirit was really strong, I loved it so much. We were able to shake his hand after, and it was really special. I am grateful. 

We headed down to Hurricane the next day and we soaked up all the sunshine we could get! We celebrated Jeremy's birthday again, and roasted banana boat desserts with the kids over the fire, which they loved. The kids played with their cousins almost constantly and were up late almost every night, haha. Jeremy and I went mountain biking a couple of times and I got to get my teeth cleaned and a haircut! Yay! Haha. 

Here are some pics:

This ride was in Red Cliffs, it's a good one!

Roz's second party at the condo with Grandma & Grandpa, Bri and Alek joined us, too!

We find her babies tucked in like this all the time, it's so sweet. Grandma & Grandpa bought the kids stuffed animal toys and she got this little pink unicorn. 

President Eyring spoke on the last day of Chaplain Conference, it was sooo good. He was so genuine, the spirit was strong. I'll never forget shaking his hand and looking into his eyes, the love is so strong around him.

Biggest, best sandwiches ever at this place in Lehi on the way down. Everyone loved them!

Celebrating Jeremy's birthday in Hurricane!

Found Rozzie going potty with her bunny, she does the cutest things. Adorable.

Second ride of our trip! We did a loop on Gooseberry Mesa. Absolutely beautiful views!! I took a moment to mindfully soak in the sunshine and warmth so that I can think about it during the bitter cold winter here in Montana. It has actually helped. :)

Love him.
