Conference Weekend

I was feeling a little bitter that I had to work all day Sunday and I wouldn't be able to be at home with my family watching Conference. I decided to ask for coverage at work so I could stay home and watch the morning session with Michael and Kian. I'm so glad I did! It was wonderful to wake up as a family, fix breakfast and watch/listen to the beautiful messages given. Michael made my most favorite breakfast, The Original Pancake House's Apple Pancake. It's divine, if you've never been there, you need to go. We snacked on dried apples and cinnamon and sugar covered pumpkin doughnuts.
The conference talks left me with distinct impressions, I was filled with the spirit and it felt oh so good. I don't know if it's because I have a little girl on the way, or just because I'm pregnant, but Sister Elaine Dalton's talk left me very emotional. It is so TRUE TRUE TRUE of the importance of a strong Daughter Father relationship. I have stressed this to Michael from the beginning of our relationship. My two sisters and I did not have a good nor strong relationship with our Father, and it has left us dysfunctional to say the least. I'm grateful I learned to rely on the love my Heavenly Father has for me to make up for the lack of my earthly Father's.
