Blogging General Conference - Part 3

In which we shall see: FOOOOOOD!!!!!

* * * *

I am SO FULL. As part of our family's bi-annual Conference tradition, all the boys (the ones in-state, anyway) go to the Priesthood session with my dad at the local stake center, and then all the wives (and me) meet up with them afterwards at a restaurant for dinner. We went to the Asian Star tonight, which was a departure for us - we're not usually very exotic when it comes to our food choices (we're generally Mimi's/Olive Garden people). I was pretty excited, though - the one time I'd been before I remember it being very good, and I was happy to go for Chinese again - especially when someone else was paying for it. (Also tradition - thanks so much, Dad!)

It was all fabulous. SO TASTY! Usually Mom makes all the guys report back on things they heard at the meeting - tonight everyone was so busy talking about working out and diet and exercise tips that we never got around to it. This is not normal for us. Exercise is generally NOT at the forefront of any of my relatives' minds. That weight-loss contest really did shift things around for all of us, though - and nearly all of us are planning on doing the half marathon my sister is setting up. Craziness! In a good way!

This does mean I'll have to go download all the talks or wait for my Conference Ensign before I can find out what happened tonight, though... And I'm also trying to work out a way to walk the three miles to my parents' house for the sessions tomorrow. I can't imagine not still being full even tomorrow. Urgh. (But yummy!)
