Utah Here We Come!

Yesterday, at church, Ken surprised me with tickets for 2 sessions of General Conference in Salt Lake this spring!  We're going to drive down and attend the Saturday afternoon session and then the Sunday morning session.


The Stake Presidency has the first opportunity to get tickets that the Stake President receives. As Ken is the Stake Clerk, he decided that he would accept 2 of the tickets.  What a blessing.  It's a great birthday present for me also.


We will be able to spend time with Pam and her family for one of their wonderful Sunday dinners and also see our good friends, the Shackelfords, who moved down to Utah last fall. 

Christmas dinner with Ron and Barbara Shackelford



 It will be a fast trip, as we will be returning the Monday following Conference, but we will enjoy every minute of it.  It is a long drive for us, 15 hours or so.  Ken is a marathon driver for sure. I might drive for awhile, but usually I read or knit or nap.  I'm so spoiled by him!


Plus we will lose 1 hour as we are on Pacific Coast time and Utah is Mountain time.


Our seats are on the main level, right behind where the Seventies will be seated.  We also have vouchers for free parking.  What a wonderful opportunity!  We've never attended General Conference.  We will probably be sitting with our Stake President and his wife, as they will be attending as well.


I'll be sure to take some pictures and make some posts about our trip.


Stay tuned!

I am happy for you, but the Shakelfords might not be able to take all that creative teasing you dish out Sandy

Marilyn, Ron dishes out as good as I do. Ken and Barbara laugh their heads off when we two get going!
