Physical and spiritual goodness!

This weekend was full of physical and spiritual goodness! We just had to share how great our weekend was!

The weather had been so good this past week that Spencer and I really wanted to get out and do something! We decided that we wanted to rent a tandem bike and bike up to bridal veil falls. We had it all planned out, we talked to BYU about renting a bike and they informed us that they had plenty. So we got everything packed to go...but as our luck has it, when we went to pick up the bike they hadn't tuned any of them yet so we couldn't get one! So annoying! But we decided to hike up to the Y instead. It was a bit of a work out and my thighs are still suffering the consequences but the view is absolutely beautiful and worth it!


Then we had the great opportunity of having Elder L Tom Perry come to our Stake Conference. We went to the adult session Saturday Night and it was full of the spirit, very inspiring and we definitely left the session as better people. It is truly amazing how "normal" these great brethren are when you see them outside of conference. The stories he shared with us and the personality that comes out in speaking makes you realize how "normal" they are and that the only difference is the position they hold in being an Apostle of God. (I realize that is a big difference, but simply stated they are just like all of us.)

After the conference we decided to feed our physical hunger by going to Cold Stone. I, of course got good old chocolate and Spencer got vanilla. It was quite hysterical when we got our ice cream though because we both ordered the exact same size but for some reason mine was twice as big as Spencer's! I actually didn't even notice until we got in the car and Spencer's ice cream was half gone! It was really quite funny so we had to take a picture!

Then on Sunday we we're again spiritually fed at stake conference. Then we had the amazing opportunity of going to the Draper Temple Dedication. It is such a blessing to have temples so close and to be able to participate in such a spiritual event. We loved it and it was a great way to finish off an amazing weekend!

I love those kinds of weekends. Sam and I laughed when Spencer got less ice cream. They probably thought he needed less sugar! Sorry you didn't get to go biking, but hiking the Y is fun too.
