General Conference

How blessed we are to be able to hear General Conference this weekend! What an amazing weekend it was! It was really weird at first to not see President Hinckley, he will be deeply missed, but how blessed we are to have the new first presidency and President Thomas S. Monsen, our new prophet, that we sustained this last weekend! Saturday I had to work, but I was able to listen to the 1st and 2nd session in my mail truck. Kev and I were able to go to the 4th session sunday afternoon. It was Kev's first time to General Conference we loved it! We had excellent seats too, we were on the plaza floor, the 11th row back from the front, so we could see all the general authoritys just perfect it was awesome! All the talks were just amazing! I love Elder Ballards talk on Mothers. It was just what I needed to hear! It was a very uplifting weekend, I can't wait till the Ensign comes out and I can read them all over again!

My Beautiful Wife - (Kev's input on our blog)

I can't imagine my life without my beautiful wife, son and daughter! Erika is a loving, patient, and exceptional wife. she is a kind and wise mother! I am so blessed to have her! we held hands for the first time as we walked around bountiful park! she faked a neck pain while laying on my lap and kissed me for the first time! I worried for it seemed like forever about that kiss, I worried that I wasn't very good at it! she thought I was cute though and it worked out to my advantage! Erika and I had known each other for quite some time. She would come and do things with my friends and I. We were at the bountiful park for a young single adult activity and we were playing a game that included quite a bit of running and a heavier girl went down and was haveing trouble breathing. so I went and helped her. to make a long story short I think the girl was faking it cause when I mentioned ambulance all of her simptoms seemed to go away! Erike thought it was cute of me to hold her hand and tell her everything was going to be alright! I think I blew that a little later though when I threw a cooler full of ice water on her during a water fight! I knew she was meant for me after she made it past two weeks of me! She is wonderful! she makes me laugh and I am so happy to see her when I come home! Erika has so many qualities, she is patient, loving, tender, faithful, family oriented, always striving to do better, I cannot say enough about her! I hope she always knows of my love for her, my devotion to her, and my cherishing of her!
