Conference Weekend

The past week went by smoothly enough. On Friday BYU had an away game, about three hours away. Everyone in the band had the option to go or not. I decided to go with the band, even though it meant that it would take up most of my Friday, and limit the time I spent on my computer graphics assignment that morning. As it was, I just got up a little earlier to do that, took about three hours or so, and finished that. Then I had an hour or two to have lunch, spend some time online, and get ready to go. The game was fun, but slightly disappointing. We did win (against USU - Utah State University) by 20 points, but from what I hear BYU is in the top ten college football teams and USU is in the bottom ten. Or something to that effect. So everyone was expecting to do better, maybe even get another shut-out (it would've made three in a row). But at least we still won. And we had fun.

On Saturday, I watched the morning session of General Conference in my apartment. After that was over, Debbie and I drove to Midway to visit my aunt Carisa, as well as Nana and Poppy (my Mom's parents), who were visiting from Idaho. We had a great time there. My little cousin Carson told me that I was "too skinny" when he hugged me. Haha, thanks Carson. ;) We then watched the afternoon session of Conference, and later had a delicious dinner. Afterwards, Debbie and I drove back to Provo, and she was kind enough to take me shopping. I didn't get too much stuff, just replenished some things I'm running out of.

On Sunday, Debbie and I got up early and drove to Sandy, where Trevin and Kalisha were visiting her family for the weekend. We had a great breakfast, with extra bacon. :P We all watched the Sunday morning session of Conference. Between sessions, a bunch of us played various games - pool, foosball, and Disney Scene It. Lunch was great, and then we all sat down again to watch the afternoon session. Overall, General Conference was fantastic. Very inspiring. Once it was over, we played The Great Dalmuti, which is a lot like Scum, for those who know, just a bit different. Dinner was really good, and then Trevin and I played another game of pool before he, Kalisha and I left for Alpine (where Carisa had gone back to that evening), and Debbie left for Provo. I would've liked for Debbie to come to, but she needed to get home instead. We visited with Carisa, Nana, and Poppy and played with the kids for a while, and then we all left again for Provo.

It's after weekends like these that I hate going back to school.
