Taxes are done!


After procrastinating them for so long, and then scrambling to figure out how to pay the suckers. But they are done now (thanks to a lot of help from my sister who is an accountant). Turbo Tax was wonderful! What a great source of media. Without it, I would probably still be trying to figure out how to put my name in the confusing mess of boxes.

YouTube has helped my marriage

My husband and I both compete on the BYU track teams. Many weekends we are apart because we travel to different track meets.

Last weekend my husband went to Texas where he won the meet on Thursday, and then polevaulted a lifetime best. I was so excited for him; but bummed that I wasn't there to see it.
So, Saturday night I typed his name into YouTube, and these videos popped up. I was so excited that I was able to see him jump and experience his win with him through YouTube.


Conference

I love General Conference weekend! I also love living in Utah and having conference be on three different channels and on the radio. On Sunday morning I had to pick up my husband who flew in, and I was able to still listen to Conference in the car on the radio while driving.

And then because I slept through a few of the Sunday afternoon talks (after eating a big Easter meal), I was able to go back and find the talks I missed and listen to them on the LDS.org website.

Technology is so great! It's amazing that General Conference was able to be viewed and heard in so many countries across the world. It is incredible that as a worldwide church, we are all able to hear the Prophets and Apostles voice, at almost the same moment they speak.
