no matter where in the world i travel, there's nothing quite like road trips up north with the family. the lovely aroma of fast food in the car, the battle for anything but the middle seat, mom's audiobooks. there's just nothing like it<3
i kid, i kid. they're great, really.
we made the trek up north this weekend for that lovely tradition that most people remember as "church in your pj's" or "that one sunday when mom makes a really good breakfast"
aka, general conference.
we were lucky enough to have tickets to the saturday morning session. unfortunately, getting into the conference center was a little bit of a hastle for me because i was kicked out immediately after security found a "professional grade" camera in my bag. whoops, rookie mistake. me and a lady named mary (who was tryna sneak some snacks in, respect) were escorted across the conference center by a big man in a black suit to a station where we were asked to surrender our goods. darn it. (don't worry, i got my camera back after the session, idk about mary's snacks tho)
as for the the sunday conference sessions, they were spent on my cousin's couch, in our pj's, eating the aforementioned "really good breakfast."
it was so fun to see my crazy family and especially my lovely grandma powell. i liked it a lot better last year when she lived 4 minutes away instead of 4 hours, but i'll take what i can get. she really is a gem.
also, the conference center is absolutely gorgeous. let's have a moment of silence for the church's architects. luv luv luv.
this quote hit me harrrrrd--
