So I thoroughly enjoyed this past weeks General Conference. I especially felt a sense of accomplishment, understanding and purpose when our beloved Prophet reminded us young mothers that ONE day we'll miss the laundry and the fingerprints-all-over and all the FUN stuff that comes with being the mother of a young growing family. How did he know that ALL DAY I had been BEGGING my children to behave long enough for me to enjoy an ENTIRE talk without interruption???
We also look forward to Conference because of the tradition that Jared started several years ago. During General Conference weekend we'll make a trip down to Redondo Pier and pick up some fresh crab and all the YUMMY that comes along with it (Clam Chowder in a hot sourdough bread bowl, grilled shrimp, garlic butter, lemon...). This time we were able to drop the kiddos off at Grandma's and head down. Just the two of us (a MAJOR treat). We enjoyed sweet oysters on a half shell while we waited for the crab to boil. The crabs were SO SWEET and SUCCULENT. It was HEAVEN for this Vava'u girl!...(yeah, yeah... don't hate. lol!). We had a good time getting together with Jared's parents grubbin' on this FAV seafood of ours.
Thanks Hun for the fun tradition... can't wait til April Conference rolls around!
