General Conference

As some of you know Shane and I went to General Conference at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City. We left the apartment at about 7:30. Once we got to Salt Lake we spent about ten minutes looking for a parking space. Finally we found one and parked really close to the exit, this was a very smart idea on my part. 
The saturday morning session was really great. The Spirt that was felt as President Monson and his counselors entered the center was magnificent. After this session Shane and I went searching for food due to the fact that both of us were starving. This wasn't the greatest time because there isn't really anything food wise close to the Temple and the heavens had opened the doors and let the rain come. We finally found a Carl's Jr withe the help of a police officer that was directing traffic. And they say men don't ask for directions. Anyway for those on the east coast a Carl's Jr is very similar to a Hardees. As we were eating an elderly couple came an sat down at the table next to us and we had a very enjoyable conversation with them. 
Priesthood Session was different. I was very frustrated with myself due to the fact that I was very tired and ended up kind of napping during each of the talks except for President Monson's. Though I will let you know that when they panned the audience I held up a sign that said "HI MOM" if you had trouble seeing it. I will later post pictures of it on my facebook. 
After the conclusion of the session Shane and I went and took a couple of pictures of the temple. Those can be found on facebook if you would like to look at those. We then walked back to the car and got out of the parking lot in a mere five minutes. However we didn't get to the interstate for another twenty minutes because we missed a turn and ended up in the middle of nowhere. After arriving back to the apartment I went straight to bed and as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out cold. For saturday was a very long day.
