Girls Weekend!

So this weekend Kelcey Aimee and me decided to go down to Salt Lake and try to get into General Conference. We left Friday and stayed at Kelcey's aunt's house. The next morning we went to Bountiful and ate lunch with Kelcey's family because they came up to celebrate Jacy's (Kelcey's sister) birthday. We then went to Bird World which is the pretty neat pet store! Lots of birds were there but they also had bunnies and puppies and even a chinchilla! After spending quite a while in there we us girls headed to Salt Lake!

We got there and waited outside the conference center and seriously after holding our fingers in the air looking for tickets, we got some! CRAZY! haha I have never been to General Conference live before. I was so excited! To see the Prophet and the Apostles in person! Now, we did get way in the back on the balcony seats so lets just say it wasn't a great view, but the spirit in there was amazing! But being home and watching  it on TV, you can actually see their faces and go back if you missed something! haha But the atmosphere of the conference center was what i loved the most, and seeing them in person!
We were at the Saturday afternoon session, and when the announcement of how many missionaries were out in the world and how many church members there were, i started to tear up! The spirit was SO strong! Missionary work has been on my mind lately. Having my close friend (Herman: Salt Lake mission) and my cousin getting his call (Jaiden: Ghana, Africa!!), its just close to my heart. The thought of all those men and women out there serving the Lord to bring people to the truth and to share that happiness, it makes me want to go serve NOW! Nothing could feel better than bringing a family to the temple so that they can be together forever, NOTHING!

After that session we decided to hit up the new City Creek Plaza............WOW! All i got to say! Tons of stores new stores i have never heard of, and stores appearing In Utah for the first time! It was awesome! Me and Aimee literally spent 2 hours in Forever 21 alone! It was so fun but super packed because it being General Conference weekend and during the time of the Priesthood session, the girls were shopping! Literally wanted to buy my clothes for 45 minutes.... the lines were ridiculous!

After shopping till we were tired, we headed to Lindon and stayed with Aimee's family and watch conference with them on Sunday and ate dinner. We got back into Logan late that night and i was exhausted! But it was so nice to leave for a couple of days and to shop and just hang with the girls!

As of now, i have been watching the talks that i missed or fell asleep during and catching up on the words of the Lord. What a great weekend! :)
