The Mormon Tabernacle Choir at LDS General Conference

Being raised a member of the LDS faith, I’ve always enjoyed the two times of the year when it’s LDS General Conference.  This is a time where the members of the LDS Church attend (or tune in via TV, radio, or internet) and listen to those who have been asked to speak on various topics in regards to our beliefs.  

As a kid I liked it because we didn’t have to dress up and go to church, we just sat in our pj’s and watched it on KSL, a local Salt Lake City, Utah TV and radio station.  It was also a weekend when my mother was always gone. For almost as long as I can remember she’s been part of the team that provides a translation of the proceedings into her native language of Navajo.

As an adult I’ve grown to value this time to connect with my beliefs and to ponder how life is going for me, where I’ve been and where I’m headed. Good times

The 178th Semiannual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be held on Saturday and Sunday, October 4-5, 2008. Speakers will include the First Presidency and other General Authorities and general officers of the Church.

For those of you that are familiar with local Utah/LDS culture the “Seriously, so blessed!” blog cracks me up. Sometimes I have a hard time containing myself as I read about the “way awesome” life of Tiffany/Amber/Megan/Nicole. I don’t know if it’s more funny or sad that I know women like this.

My favorite blog post this week: right PERSON, right place, right time

Yay for weddings, boo for boring.

Yesterday we had Sunday dinner at JJWT’s fam’s which was WAY fun and tasty (splurged and had TWO BITES of desert, bad I know, blame the feti) and got the seriously big news…JJWT’s bro is FINALLY engaged!!!

He and Ruth have been dating like a YEAR so we’d basicly all given up hope. So, wedding = YAY! But honestly, I just don’t GET her. Hate to judge slash be a downer, but she’s going to be apart of our fam, and not that many people read this blog anyway, and it IS my journal, and I DO need help so I’m gonna share…bless her heart, not to judge, I’m worried. HELP!!
