General Conference/// 10 years..

Well, another General Conference has gone by. President Monson spoke at the end of the Sunday afternoon meeting and like always told some stories. He's such a cute, funny man. I'm not sure I've gotten use to the fact that President Hinckley isn't there but I'll get use to Monson, and he'll be an awesome president.

From Saturday morning, this phrase stuck out to me that i loved, "Those who do not give up, will find that God never gave up." That was said by Henry B. Erying. But from all the sessions, sunday afternoon, i thought, was full of talks that had meaningful sayings. Well, of course what i was awake for but i really enjoyed Jeffrey R. Hollands talk, David A. Bednar and W. Craig Zwick, and of course President Monson's at the end.


So today we were at my grandparents house and mom was telling her cousin that came by to visit that Amie, the youngest, was 10. And i started thinking...in 10 years, my parents will have the house to themselves. Amie will be 20 and at college. And then of course i thought of my older sister, she'll be 29!! She'll most likely have kids and i'll be an aunt! And 10 years down for me i'll be 27 and hopefully a mom, wife, and aunt. How exciting! Mom and Dad will be grandparents! hahha that was a scary thought for them to hear. Nathan will be back from his mission and 25, maybe married, probably the stud he is ;). Natalie will be 23, and if she went on a mission, she'll be returning. What a strange thought to think 10 years ahead.. What will i look like? My job, husbands job, who will he be, kids?, house, where will i live, college? 10 years is a lot, but at the same time it's not. It kind of sychs you out.
