Lovely Weekend

Today is going to be the start of a wonderful weekend.
Not only is it the last day of the work week (where they supply donuts/bagels/fruit for the employees) but I'm actually going to a party tonight (which I never do). Tara is moving to LA and she's having a goodbye party tonight. Dj hasn't decided whether he's coming or not, he wants to get most of his homework done before Conference this weekend. I hope he does because I love having him around but I know that he feels like the majority of the people who will be there are mostly 'my friends'.
And then I'm really truly excited about General Conference this weekend (I think I need to make a Conference weekend food tradition. The Abbotts have Conference Cake. Some other friends did Finger Foods all weekend long. Something like Conference Cinnamon Rolls or Conference Enchiladas. Something we do every weekend when Conference comes. I'll let you know what we decide). I went to the General Relief Society Broadcast last weekend and I loved it! I heard a lot of things that I feel were meant just for me. I think that President Uchtdorf was talking directly to me and I felt really special and loved that night, not only because of the spirit I felt during his talk but because of some really nice things people said to me that night. When we went to the temple a few weeks ago I felt a little bit of that 'sting of the spirit'. To me that means that feeling you get when the spirit's trying to tell you "You've been slacking Kylie, you need to do better or you're really going to miss out on some things I have planned for you". So I've been trying. Especially since Heavenly Father decided to bless us so richly in my job hunt. And in life in general....
We decided that we should make going to Institute a priority so we get an extra boost during the week. I've also stared reading the Ensign or that new Relief Society book during my lunch break. We haven't been making scriptures a priority either so we've been working on that. I also went visiting teaching last week, I'm going to try really hard to be faithful in that calling because I've always felt so negative about it and I really am just tired of feeling negative.
Luckily the Lord is patient and full of love because I know that Kylie Waldron gives him grief quite often. I think I've been feeling better because of our efforts too. Not only do I feel more clear of mind and less stressed, which I think has a little to do with quitting my old job, but I almost have more energy some days where I may have not felt that way before. It's definitely a long process and I know that it'll be a continuous struggle because I'm a procrastinator and a lot of days simply just lazy. I'm looking forward to really trying hard to focus on Conference this weekend and really try to hear and learn the things that are meant for me and my little family.

To Conference.
