General Conference

Every year I have the goal to read all of the General Conference talks from last time before we are back in session six months later. Often times, in fact, most times, it doesn't quite happen. This year I put together a schedule to help me stay on track. I have mentioned this to a couple people and they have asked for a copy of it, so I thought I would put it on here. Anyway, hope somebody out there will use this!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY!!!

I just want to wish Amy a Happy 24th Birthday! We have been best friends since we were 7 years old, so you may say that I know Amy pretty well! Here is a very abridged story of our friendship: We met in Primary at Church and have been pretty much inseparable since then. We went to different Elementary schools and to different Middle schools, but were always talking about the days when we could go to high school together. Our Freshman year was a blast, but sadly, my family moved to Utah the summer after our Freshman year. That really sucked, but we still stayed in touch and went back and forth and visited each other and dreamt about the days we would go to college together! Luckily, that lasted a little longer. We were roommates pretty much throughout all of our college days and had TONS of fun! Then she got married and a few months later I got married, and now we live two hours apart. I am still rooting for Chris to go to the UofU so they won’t be moving too far away, but we will see how that goes. Anyway, no matter how close or far away we live from each other, our friendship has gone on strong! I have been through soooo much with Amy and we have had some really awesome times together. She is one of my very favorite people in the world! She is so fun and such a good, kind, caring person!

At the risk of Amy killing me, here are some pictures of us when we were younger. Yes, we were both kind of chubby for a couple years there… But you all will probably get some laughs! Don’t judge us, this was YEARS ago! I think I have more to be embarrassed about than Amy.


My favorite! I don't know where we were, but wow do we look hot! We got the huge glasses and the braces going on!

This one is AWESOME! For some reason when we were younger we always dressed up and took pictures! I have no clue why. Amy is trying out a sexy look and I just look like a Grandma! Nice!

Here are a few pictures of us in the past couple years:

Me and Amy on a sledding trip.

Me and Amy right after I scoped myself! Yes, she did laugh at me really hard!

Me and Amy at the Oregon Coast. The water was freezing.... as always.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Amy! Thanks for being such a great friend! You are the bestest friend ever!
