conference weekend october of 2011.

so conference weekend. what a wonderful time of year. It is always chock full of those things you need to make it through the next six months. this weekend I was able to watch Saturday morning's session and then I had to work BOOO. However, Sunday was pretty fun. A bunch of ward members headed to Jared's apartment for a big Conference Breakfast Bonanza haha. We made waffles and had lots of other yummy treats. We all enjoyed the wonderful session then took a break in between. In that time we mostly just hung out in his front yard and around the apartments. Before the second session, everyone had lunch minus me because I was still full from breakfast. I loved this conference and here are some particular gems of knowledge I loved and hope to remember.
