Conference Weekend!

This was such a good weekend! It was very relaxing and just fun all around. Friday night Steven and I went out to dinner at the Chili's by ASU and then went walking down Mill Avenue. There was this store there that's going out of business and it's all old vintage books and signs and stuff. Everything was 50% off. It was SO neat. I wanted to buy everything but...we walked out empty-handed. Anyway, after that we went to ASU for a concert that my collaborative piano teacher's husband was putting on. It's his last performance before he retires so she got us tickets! It was great--Steven was probably bored out of his mind but I loved it. It was the Spanisches Liederbuch by Hugo Wolf. They're very rarely performed in their entirety (44 of them)--we only went the first night and got 22 but it was fun.
Saturday we drove out to Buckeye to watch conference out at Steven's parents...but they ended up not being there for the first 2 sessions so we didn't see them for a while! Alli and Kyle were in town and bought a wii so we played with that while the boys were gone at the priesthood session of conference and we barbequed. It was fun! We got home late and were extremely tired but we got our bikes from Steven's dad for the triathlon! Yay--thanks Robert! He put a lot of time into getting those bikes ready and we REALLY appreciate it.
Anyway, we were going to just stay the night out there but an AWESOME family in the ward, the Beagley's, invited us over for breakfast so we went over there this morning. There were 2 other couples there and we had crepes and all the fixin's! They were delicious. Then we all piled in the living room for conference. On our way out between sessions, they invited us back to watch the 2nd one (since normally we'd be here watching it on our computer!) and for dinner. So...it was a day with the Beagley's! We barbecued hamburgers and then watched The Game Plan which is actually a lot better than I thought it would be. It kind of looked lame to me but it was WAY cute and really funny so I definitely recommend it.
Well, we're back home now and definitely NOT ready to start a new week but...ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, right? Hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed conference as much as we did!

You forgot the "bra!" at the end of ob-la-di... :)

Fun, fun!!!! Sounds like you had a lot going on.
It definitely gets harder to watch conference and do those fun things once kids come into the picture and they are small.
Glad to hear you had a good weekend!!!
