I didn't even blog in September! Soooo my excuse is that I haven't even gotten my laptop out in over a month. I think I'll go and backdate some blogs that happened in September so that when I look back at my blog I don't feel like such a bad person.
Two weeks ago we headed down to SLC for General Conference! We left Friday morning since Nate doesn't have Friday classes and I don't work on Fridays. We had multiple things to get done while in Utah on Friday. First, we stopped by Provo to see Eli. He had stuff to do that evening and so did we so we only spent about 45 minutes with him. We took him to Walmart though to do some shopping so it was productive time.
Next, we headed up to Lehi to go to the outlets. It's our sick addiction. Outlet stores are so tempting!!! Nate got a new pair of Nike's and I got a new dress and sweater from J. Crew. I think we've been to these outlets 4ish times and we always go to Nike and never buy anything so it was about time he got a pair of shoes. I, on the other hand, always end up getting something haha It's bad.
After the outlets we headed further north to Draper to hit up IKEA. We got an unexpected gift of money recently and decided that furniture is what we wanted to spend it on. Nate has been looking at furniture online for MONTHS so we thankfully already knew what we wanted. I'll have a post about what we got in the future.
After IKEA, we drove
further north to Murray, UT to head to our favorite Desert Star Theater to see Dracula! This was the third show we've seen at this theater and we love it!! Highly recommended for anyone traveling through Murray. Family friendly entertainment, great actors and free popcorn! It's a dinner theater and we usually eat somewhere else but this time we couldn't wait to eat so we got a pizza there.
After the theater we headed
further north
again to Salt Lake City where we spent the night. What an exciting day!
On Saturday we went to the first session of General Conference. With 20,000+ Mormons walking around you are bound to run into people you know. On our way out I ran into one of the PAs I work with and his family as well as a guy I knew from doing the Hill Cumorah Pageant five years ago. I'm kind of surprised I didn't see
more people I knew haha We watched the afternoon session in our hotel room and then the boys went to the Priesthood session in the evening. During that time I decided to walk around the mall for a bit and then stay in my room and read a book. It was nice to have some quiet time to myself!
After that session we all (Nate's parents and brother) went out to dinner at Texas de Brazil. YUM!! I've never been to a Brazilian steakhouse before so I suggested it and I sure am glad I did! The food was fabulous and our server was hilarious. She was from Brazil, close to where Nate served his mission, so they were able to talk Portuguese which was fun to listen to. For the record, my favorite meat was the lamb.
Sunday was more conference. We watched the morning session in the hotel and then had tickets to the later one. I actually got pictures this time!

After dinner on Sunday we headed back up to Rexburg. Not my favorite drive but I stayed awake the entire time to keep Nate company. I think we watched a movie or something but I don't remember. Probably Everybody Loves Raymond actually...it's our secret-not-so-secret addiction.
Well, there ya have it! One update on one thing we did in the last month together! It really is fantastic having Nate back home with me.
