Family FUN

So the past two weekends I have had visitors and it was awesome. The Thursday before conference weekend Bethany flew to Salt Lake with her roommate, Friday after I finished class (although I couldn't really concentrate during class so I don't know how helpful it was to go) I met Bethany and her roommate in Draper (it's about halfway) and I took Bethany to P-town. First we stopped and did baptisms at the Draper temple so to increase Bethany's temple number to 2. Friday night we hung out and did not watch the football game because we were losing so badly and instead just made the losing treat, which was cream puffs. I had Bethany take a plate of them to a guys apartment in my ward to see if they would notice it wasn't me, they may have noticed something was different but didn't say anything until I walked in. I thought it was amusing. Saturday morning I took her for a tour of campus and made sure she had to walk up the crazy amount of stairs that I do everyday. We then went to her roommates house in North Salt Lake and watched the sessions of conference in between activities. Sunday Bethany and I went to the afternoon session of conference we didn't have any tickets but after a brief moment of holding our fingers up and asking for tickets (like 30 seconds) a nice man gave us some tickets on the bottom level. I had an awesome time and it was far to short, now I just need to figure out how to convince her to move up here next year and teach.

This past weekend Shelby came for a visit because it was the start of her Fall Break. I picked her up from the airport on Friday night. Saturday morning we got up and made Breakfast Burritos because she brought me fresh tortillas from Arizona. Then we headed to Salt Lake. We visited the Church History Library which is really cool, and I decided our church definitely does not want to keep us nieve and in the dark when it comes to other religions because they have all of the books of the other religions in the library, from the Koran to the book on Scientology. We then walked around the temple and the tabernacle.



We took a tour of the Conference Center and saw the gardens on top.



On our way back to Provo we stopped at Iceberg so Shelby could have some Utah fries with fry sauce and a Utah shake. We also had fried zucchini sticks.



My roommates were making caramel apples so I made one.





Sunday after church we went leaf hunting and then went and had dinner at Leah and Tara's. While leaf hunting at Vivian Park we ran into some ducks but they just ran away from me.







Monday Shelby took a tour of BYU campus while I was in class and explored a little bit of the library and the bookstore. Monday evening we made Potato Soup and then went to FHE and played volleyball.







So most of the pictures have me in them but I promise Shelby was there. Also note my calf definition in the picture of me playing volleyball, I guess there is some reward to climbing up those stairs everyday.
