Chelsey and I live literally 30 seconds away from each other, and yet, we are not in the same ward! That's okay, though, because we are in the same stake and this weekend was Stake Conference! We went to the "adult session" last night (which really just means everyone goes since we are all young single adults...). I'm glad we went since you can never really be overly gratified but this session seemed more like a perspective missionary fireside. Don't get me wrong, I love missionaries; they're GREAT! Chelsey and I, however, made the decision not to go on a mission. Not only that, but the whole auditorium was full of returned missionaries. The messages were great but Chelsey and I agreed that we both loved this mornings session more. (Are you allowed to say that about Church? Oh well, shoot me.) This morning's session was full of awesome hymns (I love it when the chorister doesn't get creative and just sticks to the basics. Who wants to sing those weird obscure songs?), lots of short talks (which is way better than listening to three people for two hours), and Chelsey scratching my back (and she didn't even want me to scratch her's in return!! Great best friend, right?!)!
I personally enjoyed hearing our Stake President talk. He is older and adorable and hilarious! My favorite thing that he said was, "Always try to be a better person tomorrow than you were today. Don't let opportunities for improvement slip by you." So I say we all try to be a little better tomorrow.
After the Saturday session, we went over to the BYU Men's Volleyball game to watch our #1 team! Volleyball has become one of our favorite sports to watch...so much fun! Now here are some pictures so that you can feel like you were right there with us this weekend!
Chelsey and I coordinated today! Aren't we adorable?
Our sort of matching booties:)
Today was a gorgeous day outside! Probably the nicest day of the year so far. To welcome in spring, my roommates and I took some pictures outside. Photos courtesy of the lovely Chelsey.
I'm still taller than all of them even when they are standing on a platform...
We tried a jumping picture but my skirt was a bit too flowy for that to work, if you know what I mean. So I just let Karli, Mary and Lauren do the jumping.
As we were waiting for the "adult session" to start last night, I got to read the enthralling Business Grammar, Style and Usage. I know, hold in your enthusiasm, folks.
Chelsey and I coordinated on Sunday and that was completely by accident. But on Saturday night, my roommates and I sort of all decided to wear stripes!
