Easter Weekend

So I think it's finally time that I post about my Easter weekend! It was such a blast! I drove down to Provo Thursday morning....my family thought I was coming on Friday but I got work off and went down a day early and surprised them! It was a very good April Fool's. :) We spent the day hanging out, playing with Ryder, shopping, and eating lots of good food. Friday was spent pretty much the same way, just spending time with family is always a good thing! Saturday morning we got up and started watching General Conference. Jared was driving down that morning with his parents who were stopping in Ogden for a conference, so I drove up to Ogden and picked him up. We got back in town and ate lunch at Brick Oven (gotta love their root beer! ;) and headed over to go bowling! Jared and my mom have been telling each other that they could beat each other in bowling, so this was their chance to see who the ultimate bowler was. Doug, Beth, and I were there pretty much to be laughed at. The first game was pretty close. Jared wanted to let my mom win since it was her birthday, but I told him to give her some good competition! And it was good competition. But by the second game, my mom wasn't able to bowl as well cause her neck was bothering her and so it was pretty much just Jared creaming us all. But it was still lots of fun! After that Jared and Doug headed over to the priesthood session while us girls played with the baby and made dinner that we ate when the boys got back.

For any of you who have never heard of the game "Ticket to Ride", get with the program and play it!! Its loads of fun! So we played a round of that and had lots of fun. I then went with Jared over to his hotel where his entire family and I watched "The Blind Side" in the main lobby! It was great! We pushed all the couches together and the guy at the front desk let us put in a movie on their big screen. I of course fell asleep, but hey I always enjoy sleeping!

Well, the next day was Easter! And guess what, we woke up to like a foot of snow! In April! We definitely had a white easter!

haha But the Easter Bunny still visited us and it was another great day. General Conference of course! I had tickets to the afternoon session, so Jared and I left after the morning session and headed up to Salt lake! I was really worried we weren't gonna make it in time. It was my first time going and I was super excited so I didn't want it to get ruined by being late. But have no fear, Jared is an excellent fast driver (but also safe!) and we made it in record time. :) Our parking spot rocked and it was such an exciting thing seeing all those people at the center, people giving free hugs, jared knowing people everywhere we go, and getting some pretty good seats. (you can't really tell how good they are by this picture.)

The session was wonderful and it was so much fun to be able to experience that finally! After living in Provo for 5 years I never went and it took me moving to Idaho to finally go! :) When we got back in town Jared had to say goodbye cause he was going back home.

Kenny came and had Easter Dinner with us :)

I stayed in Provo till Tuesday morning so I spent the next couple days watching movies, playing more games, eating lunch with Haylee (it was so good to see her! everytime I go down there it's so hard for us to be able to see each other so it was so nice to finally see her and david again!), going shopping and eating dinner at Chili's with Sarah, and remembering how much I miss Utah! It was a very successful weekend.
