Conference time... not in PJs?!?!

Remember that one time I went to watch conference in an LDS chapel for the first time in my life as opposed to watching in PJs on the couch, thinking I would be able to concentrate better and fight off that nagging need for a nap?? Though I must admit, it was a unique experience, watching Conference in your Sunday best while sitting behind a family of six with all children under the age of 13 was a bit tough. I was super distracted and found myself getting so sleepy and unfocused as babies cried, 10 year old boys pinched each other, and let's be honest, Doug writing on my arm with a pen. Also, to make things even more uncomfortable, the newest little Beehive in the Young Women's group was wearing the exact same outfit as me... from the brown shoes to the white Target sweater, to yes, the blue Target dress. Imagine a 26 year old married lady sitting right behind the new Beehive wearing the same outfit. Yikes. Despite all the distractions, Doug and I were actually able to get a lot out of Conference. It is a great opportunity to renew your faith, have prayers answered and receive personal revelation. To top it off, we had a huge conference pot luck between sessions. While I don't like buffets/pot lucks in large groups, mainly because I feel like there is a panic to get your food before everyone else gets to it, I really enjoyed this one because I got to try a variety of foods like Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Indian, and some Minnesotian as well. All in all, it was a delicious event as I was able to feast on the words of the prophets as well as some really good food.
