This weekend was a huge "Pick Me Up" for the soul. I look forward to Conference weekend for so long, and it's always just so amazing. This year was no exception. After every talk ended, I found myself saying "Wow. That was SUCH a good talk." Tonight we went to my parent's house for dinner and were discussing which were our favorite talks. By the time we got done, we had pretty much, between all of us, named every talk given. I didn't take any notes this year because I really wanted to just listen. Plus, the text will be online this week. Once the text is available, I'll share some of my favorite quotes. For now, I'll just say that President Uchtdorf's talk was so good that we listened to it twice (thank you DVR). There was just way too much in there to catch it all the first time. I loved his optimism and lessons in faith, hope and charity. Other favorites? Elder Holland (let's be honest, when does he NOT give one of my favorite talks?), Elder Wirthlin (great reminder of the value of humor), and Elder Eyring's talk this morning on Unity was such a good reminder of where we need to be. Can't wait for the Ensign to come out!

I used to look forward to conference-- until I became a conference widow (those are 2 very long days for both me and Mike). The baby is at an age where I am lucky to hear any part of any talk, so I look forward to the Ensign and nap times! ; )
I'm glad you got so much out of conference. With my 5 little monkeys around I hardly heard a word. I was excited to hear that the text is coming out this week and then I also look forward to the Ensign, that 's where I can devour conference.
I'll be honest, it wouldn't have been as easy if we didn't have DVR. Luckily, whenever there was a tantrum, we were able to pause and wait for the storm to pass :D
Oh, and she slept through most of it, which also helped!
