10 for Tuesday

1) Thursday we went to a book signing of the "Wheel of Time" at Books a Million. The original author Robert Jordan passed away a couple of years ago so Brandon Sanderson a wonderful fantasy writer that I love is going to finish up thi very long series. It was suppose to only be one more book, but they decided to spilt it into three books.




2) There was a lot of people there so we had to wait in line for awhile, but we were entertained by the ushers who handed out free stuff and played some trivia games with everyone in line.



3) It was great to see Brandon Sanderson again and Robert Jordan's widow Harriet who also signed our book.


4) On Friday we attended a Stake Youth dance where we invited 6 stakes. There was a pretty good turn out, but we could of had a lot more. Hopefully we can do this every year and have a bigger group. Gary and I stayed late to help clean up.

5) Friday night i slept terrible so on Halloween I was tired all day. We did some cleaning around the house and ran some errands. We bought a toliet that we had installed today.

6) Had our housewarming party which was a success. A lot of our friends and family came and celebrating with us. Here are some pictures.



7) We had our YW in Excellence as a stake again this year. It went really well. I was really surprised at all the talent of the young women in our stake. I felt the Spirit really strongly that evening.
8) My birthday this year was pretty uneventful, but nice. I had to work, but afterwards I sat down to a nice dinner that Gary worked really hard on. He made Kung pao for me and his parent's came over to celebrate with us.
9) I had the awesome opportunity to go to an auxilary meeting with Sister Elayne Dalton and a member of the Relief Society and Primary General Board. Since I am in the stake there was a meeting before hand with just the stake leaders. I came early and when I walked into the room were we were meeting there she was I was completely stunned. I didn't know what to say. When she saw me she stood up and asked me what my name was, which stake I was from and what my calling was. She was very friendly and personable. The meeting was wonderful and I really learned a lot from her I wish the meeting was longer, but it only lasted 30 minutes. We had a general meeting with everyone and then we split up with the different organizations. I stayed in the Chapel for our breakout session. It was a wonderful meeting where there was lots of question and answer from the audience
10) After the meeting my friend Mercy wanted me to take a picture of her with Sister Dalton, but I ended up in a picture as well which was totally awesome. I don't have the picture right now, but when I get it I will post it.

That's all for this week. Till next time...
