Conference and Park City


I love Conference weekend! It is always nice to hear the talks and feel the spirit. Usually Luke and I go to Salt Lake on weekends, but we decided it would be nice to hang out in Logan, relax, and listen to conference. I have never really explored Cache Valley, so on Sunday we decided to take a drive and listen to conference. We drove south past Hyrum and ended up at Porcupine Dam. I never even knew that anything in that area of the valley existed, but I am glad we ended up there. The leaves were changing colors and there was some snow on the ground so it made the view breath taking. I took some pictures, but they don't give the view justice. We drove to the end of the road at Porcupine Dam and then turned around and drove south some more. The road turned into dirt and it was raining really bad, so I am glad our little Nissan made the journey. We followed the dirt road south for quite a while until we ended up in North Ogden. Our drive took us about 3 hours to get to Ogden and then 45 min to get back, but it was well worth it. The view was amazing and we found a lot of neat places to camp and ride 4-wheelers so we will be back.

This past weekend we went to spend time with my family in Park City. My family has a timeshare there so we go every year. I love going to Park City, and I love spending time with my family. We took family pictures, which was a lot of fun (I'll post as soon as my mom sends them to me), we went shopping, we went to dinner, and we just hung out and relaxed. The only bad part of the weekend is I got sick, and I am still sick (that is why I am updating my blog). Its not fun. I am proud of myself though, I have been saving money to go shopping, and I only spent $25. That is a record for me when I am in Park City. Overall it was an awesome weekend and I can't wait to go back next year.
