its absolutely beautiful oustide.
perfect weather. (not so much this year)
BEAUTIFUL color outside.
soup & crackers.
conference.
sweater season- and you dont have to wear a big heavy coat to cover it up!
lots of holidays.
pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.
lots of birthdays.
oh ya, and its gorgeous outside.
we borrowed an awesome camera (thanks joe) and went on a little hike last week up logan canyon.
not as stunning as sardine canyon in the fall, but still sooo pretty.
although logan has its downfalls. this is not one of them.
we are so grateful to live in such a gorgeous place.

this weekend we went home to enjoy conference with our families.
we did a lot of laying around in our sweats. and a lot of eating.
the best weekend ever.
if you cant, so obviously, tell. pictures are taken from my iphone.. not as great.
{sorry jens. didn't mean to "out" you for not paying attention.}
and we were edified and uplifted. completely.
{elder holland. wow.}
we realized how blessed we are to be led by such incredible men; apostles and prophets of the Lord.
It reminded me of another one of Elder Hollands talks that i loved and was given in the Oct 2006 general conference. For the full talk, click here. But my favorite part said;
"Not often but over the years some sources have suggested that the Brethren are out of touch in their declarations, that they don't know the issues, that some of their policies and practices are out-of-date, not relevant to our times.
As the least of those who have been sustained by you to witness the guidance of this Church firsthand, I say with all the fervor of my soul that never in my personal or professional life have I ever associated with any group who are so in touch, who know so profoundly the issues facing us, who look so deeply into the old, stay so open to the new, and weigh so carefully, thoughtfully, and prayerfully everything in between. I testify that the grasp this body of men and women have of moral and societal issues exceeds that of any think tank or brain trust of comparable endeavor of which I know anywhere on the earth. I bear personal witness of how thoroughly good they are, of how hard they work, and how humbly they live. It is no trivial matter for this Church to declare to the world prophecy, seership, and revelation, but we do declare it. It is true light shining in a dark world, and it shines from these proceedings."
so powerful.
we also drove to sundance to my grandparents cabin and, again, we were absolutely stunned at how GORGEOUS it was.
we are so grateful to live in such a gorgeous place.
