This weekend was a bit of a problem at first because Quentin and I usually go to the temple on Saturdays. The reason it was a bit of a problem is because it was General Conference! WOOT WOOT! So after my classes on Thursday and when Quentin got off work, we went to the six forty five session with Merritt (my sister-in law). It was weird going on a weekday but it was still peaceful and I am glad that we did get to go.
Friday is usually pizza night. Everyone texted me and said that they wouldn't be able to come this week because of General Conference. UGH! Everyone ditches, even Merritt. But she was already in Utah for a missionary reunion. BUT it was nice because Quentin and I got a night to ourselves with pizza and our favorite T.V. show, The Mentalist!!!! It was nice to spend some time with my husband.
On Saturday we woke up kind of early, like two hours before conference was suppose to start. So we watched the Woman's Broadcast and that was interesting to have Quentin hear what was meant for girl ears only. haha But he really enjoyed it. He was actually playing a game called Minecraft and he stopped because Brother Uchtdorf said something meaningful to him. I forgot what it was.
Ten o'clock came around and we watched General Conference. It was soooo good and inspirational. I am glad that I took notes. Last conference in April, Quentin and I were dating at the time, we had the chance to actually go to the conference center. We sat towards the left looking at the podium, eight rows away from the prophet. That was a wonderful experience. During the April conference they talked a lot of couples getting married, the importance of getting married, and doing it the right way. Well, Quentin and I looked at each other and thought that we should pray about it....well you know the answer because look at us now.
This conference Neil L. Anderson gave a talk about children and families. Quentin fell asleep during this talk so he didn't get to hear it but I like when he said, "Having children is what God gave you time for." And then he continues with a story about a young couple and the husband still in school to become a doctor. He and his wife were talking about when to have kids. They decided after he was done with school and she could work to support them. He visited his parents who live right next door to the Administration building. He read a talk from the ensign his parents had on the table talking about the family being ordained of God. He felt burdensome and got up and walked straight to the Administration building. He ran into Spencer W. Kimball (the one who gave the talk in the ensign) and told his problematic story. President Kimball looked at him and said, " Will the Lord want you to break a commandment in order for you to build your career? You can be a doctor and have a child. Where is your faith?"
That is what really hit me, "Where is your faith?" Quentin and I have actually been talking about this same subject, about when to start having kids. I am in school full time and he is working full time. I told him that I would like to start having kids in the middle of my senior year. He replied that he wants to wait a year and be a dad before he is thirty. I really didn't like the waiting a year idea but understood him wanting to have a child before he turns thirty(which by the way is in two years).
After hearing this talk and those words, I rethought about the waiting a year idea and thought it was suppose to happen. Quentin woke up and I asked him what he thought about Brother Anderson's talk. He didn't know what he talked about because HE WAS ASLEEP!!! so I showed him my notes and he enjoyed the talk too. So we re-had the discussion about when to have children and decided that we would wait a year. Being in a family ward doesn't help at all! That means I will be pregnant in the middle of my junior year. YIPPEE!!!
I was talking to Merritt about what Quentin and I talked about and she looked sad and said, "I want to be married and have kids!" When I have a kid, she can be the official babysitter.
In the middle of the Saturday sessions I made butterscotch danish and we had that for linner. (lunch/dinner). umm On Sunday Merritt came over and watched the sessions with us. After the first session, Quentin, Merritt and I made mexican lasagna and mm mm MMM it was so good. Quentin and Merritt agreed. Merritt muttered something in Spanish and all I understood was bueno=good and gracias= thank you. So I replied with a de nada. haha
Quentin fell asleep during the second session and I guess when I saw him laying down I got sleepy and closed my eyes. Merritt nudged me and wrote on my notebook, " Don't go to sleeeeep!" I struggled to stay awake.
When the second session ended, I found Merritt asleep. haha Quentin and I wanted to go on a walk. We drove to Nature Park and walked around the trail and took pictures. I will have to upload those sometime. And ones of our new car. I didn't do much homework this weekend, so I am going to have to do it all tomorrow and be SUPER busy. All well. Oh and after our walk, I took a shower and when I got out I asked Quentin to brush my hair for me. I told him that I remember my dad brushing my hair and it felt sooo tender. Quentin brushed my beautiful, long, wet hair and it felt so good. I love it when people play with my hair! So relaxing! He said while he was brushing it that he feels that he should braid it. I was ook with that and he braided a very nice braid. I think I am going to make him my hair stylist. Not really, but he can braid my hair for me since I don't have that skill developed.
That was my weekend and I enjoyed every minute of it because I was with my dear darling husband. I love him so very much!!!
by "usually go to the temple on saturday" she means always. also just to clarify, she doesn't like the idea of waiting a year because it is too soon, not too late. I would be fine if we HAD the kid in a year :) (this is Quentin if you haven't figured that out by now).
