Last time conference went around I was in a pretty bad place. Things just went south with someone really special to me(one sided here) and I kinda didn't really want to do much for conference or even watch it. It had brought a lot of bad memories back to me for some reason.
Well this time around I tried not to think about it too much. I woke up at the butt crack of dawn cause we had football practice and it turned out to be a lot of fun. Met some really cool people and even came away with a knock down and some gashes on my legs. Most of us then headed to our bishops house for breakfast and to watch the first session of conference that morning. I was sitting next to some new friends just talking about each other when I got a text message on my phone. It was from an old friend of mine that was right there with me through a lot of the downs of that last relationship(sorry for those times).... The message just plain and simple said will this conference be better for you then the last one? I was confused for a bit then remembered what she was talking about. So that was kinda my motto for this time around. I was going to make it a better one, as a matter of a fact the best one I have had in a long time.
The day was off to a great start. I didn't stay too long after a few people left cause I had some things to take care of before Priesthood session. So I listened to it in my car on the way home and sat and watched once I got there. I then headed up to Sandy to pic up a few of the things that I needed that day. Ended up picking up a few more things then I needed but it worked out. Went home and set those up as well. Watched the next session or as much of it as I could while I went over lines for my new show. Priesthood session is probably my favorite session out of all of them. The talks seem to always be directed at me. Or at least a few of them do. There was a couple through the whole 2 days that really impacted me. After we ate as a group for priesthood some of us met up and headed down to thanksgiving point for a turn on there haunted mazes and such. Those were way fun. Made some new friends that night too. Sunday was just a relaxing day of going over lines watching conference and learning a thing o two I didn't know before about our savior. Sure do love the guy.
I thought back to what my friend asked Saturday morning and I did have a better conference this time around. The person that took 9 months away from me for nothing was still on my mind but it's more of a why was I with them in the first place kinda thing. I her and her fiance a few weeks ago and they just seemed so awkward to me. She is getting married this week and it just seems like another day to them. Like they don't care. Not sure about you but I want my wedding to be a big event! Anyways, I'm glad things went the way they did this October. I look forward to the rest of the year.
