Conferences, Friendships and Mardi Gras

Mid-October Bekah and I headed to Utah for a week-long National Parks and Recreation Association Conference. While there we went to some great classes and saw amazing exhibits. Everything you can imagine that has to do with play was there, including an amazing Viking helmet of sorts that I was given and privileged to wear around for a day. You wouldn't believe the looks I got... until people realized I got it there and hadn't brought it with me just to wear, and then they wanted one too!

After the Conference we met up with Tay and did baptisms in the Salt Lake City Temple! It was my first time there and was incredible! Oh my word, the history and detail in that building is incredible, not to mention the amazing work that goes on as well. Then we went to pick up Jeanie at the airport, who was flying in from Florida to visit. Tay and I taught Jeanie on the mission. We had a great weekend together and with Tay's family!

The next weekend was Halloween. Bekah and I hosted a Murder Mystery Dinner Party at my house. Tay and her sister, Tanna, came up and others came as well. It was an awesome group who really acted their parts, accents, personalities and all. We had quite the investigative discussion and eventually the murderer was revealed....

It was quite the two weeks, all the while being in school and working, but was so much fun! I'm so glad to have friends that are willing to work hard and then let loose and have a good time!
