Jeff and I took a roadtrip to Utah for the first weekend of October to attend General Conference for our church. We had such a fun time. I love visiting Utah (but let's not talk about living there). I love going to Temple Square and I absolutely love all the craft stores they have and it is so much easier to find appropriate clothes that are cute.

Jeff had a mission reunion on Friday night so we left at 9:30am California time on Friday and Jeff wanted to get to his reunion by 7pm. We ended up rolling into Salt Lake at 6:30pm and we made it to the reunion by 7:45. Woo hoo how is that for good timing, and no speeding tickets either.
Some of the highlights of the trip were:
  • Eating at "The Roof"- it is a restaraunt on the top floor of the Joseph Smith building and it has windows surrounding it that overlook Salt Lake and the gorgeous temple and not to mention a fab buffet
  • Watching General Conference at the Conference Center while being in the same room with President Monson and the apostles (ok so it's kind of a BIG room...)
  • Going to Park City and shopping at the outlets
  • Going to the Salt Lake Temple and being sealed for my great great grandparents
  • Getting to stay and spend time with Phill, Jeannine and Isaiah (thanks guys, we already miss ya!)
  • Seeing Jeff's mission friends and President and Sister Ririe
  • Going to Uncle Jim and Aunt Michelle's house for a delicious meal and yummy dessert and spending time with the silliest cousins EVER!

Hey, it was fun to see you at Conference. I am glad you had a good time in Utah. Come on... you don't want to move out here with me? I need a bigger Cali girl support group.
