Our First Easter and Conference Weekend

Christopher and I started the week by having an Easter themed FHE complete with dying eggs and watching some awesome Easter Mormon Messages put out by the church.

We forced our way through school and work and then headed down to Moab Wednesday night to spend the weekend with our Andrew Family!

Chris and his best buddy Jed hadn't hung out since before Chris started his mission, so we got together to go jeeping in Jed's new jeep with his girlfriend Julia. The trail we went on is a popular one in Moab, but it was the evening after Jeep Safari so it was relatively uncrowded.

We had a good time between Saturday conference sessions going out near Ken's Lake and shooting with the family. Anna might be the best shot of us all!

It was great having time to just be with the family. We loved celebrating Easter with the kids, and are sorry if we ruined Easter by taking Jacob and Matthew too seriously when they asked us to hide their eggs HARD. Really it's their own fault that some eggs went missing. But honestly, we hope this doesn't detour the family from inviting us to celebrate this holiday with them in the future.

We also loved the opportunity we had to watch General Conference. We both favored Elder Holland's talk - how could we not when he used a parable that hit us both so close to home. Another favorite talk was given by Sister Burton. Maybe that is the newlyweds in us talking, but can we all take a second to look at what wonderful examples of true love many of the leaders in the church have given us. She eloquently spoke of love and tenderness as well as the divine roles and responsibilities that we have as man and woman, husband and wife, mother and father.

Remember to pray and remember to play,

Brother & Sister Andrew ('cause we're feeling particularly church-y lately)
