Conference Weekend

Yeah Conference Weekend!!!

Yes as you can tell, we were able to attend conference this past weekend, the Sunday morning session to be more specific. We had tickets on the plaza level and it was the closest Daniel has ever been!! It was also a special time learning that the Kansas City area will be getting a Temple! We also found out from Jason that the Temple will be in the Liberty Stake, shoal creek area in MISSOURI! (sorry Kansas)

We were also very blessed to spend the weekend with Meghann's parents. Daniel was very excited because he was able to spend all day Friday walking from store to store as Meghann and Cheryl paraded in their new threads. Daniel also learned a life lesson from Jerry when in the Gap store. When asked how to maintain enthusiasm during countless, "Does this look good on me?" Jerry, with his head tilted back against the wall, replies, "just take a nap and all will be fine." Wise words from a man with such experience.

So, after another two or three stores Daniel decides to implement such tactics. To his deteriment, and the fact that he doesn't like to take naps, he was forced to purchase Pac-Man and play it on his phone. Thank goodness for those little applications you can buy on your phone!

Shopping and pedicures aside, we were very excited to see Mom and Dad Furnell, and have the opportunity to spend the weekend with them! All was good and fun until the time came to take them back to the airport. That's when the fountains began to flow. Daniel never likes to see his woman cry and it seems to always happen when we say good bye. On a side note... it only took Mom and Dad Furnell 13 mins. to get through that notorious Salt Lake Security ;)

Thanks for the great weekend!

The first day of Intramurals

In that old spirit of taking a picture on the first day of school; we took one of Daniel on his first day of Intramural sports at BYU-I. I mean come on, what does he have to look forward too now that he is not in school anymore? Anyways, you can kinda see that he did have a full head of hair, BYU-I made him cut it to play. :(

But on the bright side we were able to partake in the festivities of the annual Jensen Elise Tracy Birthday Party!!! Both sets of grandparents were able to make it and her most favoritist Uncle Daniel and favoritist Aunt Meghann were there. Plus we had the most decadent fun-fetti cup cakes that have ever graced the earth and Jensen was loving them.

Isn't she a cutie?

I'm a MONSTER!!!!

Ok, well maybe a cookie/brownie monster. Last week Daniel got creative and upset the whole dessert world by turning it upside down! He made his brownies (the box kind where all you need is an egg and oil) and then made cookie dough (again, the kind where all you need is water and an egg) and combined them together! Genius!

He even took a picture so that all would be able to see the creative mastermind he is. He even had one of those Frankenstein moments. You know, where the doctor stands by the monster and yells, "it's alive," in that creepy voice as lighting strikes. Then as soon afterwards, he munched up the corner piece.






Now past our adventures in cooking... Meghann took a giant leap as she cut off more than 6 inches of hair this past week. She bravely called up a member of the ward who is a stylist and made the appointment herself. After four years of letting it grow she couldn't stand it long anymore and, well, see for yourself.

Oppps, wrong picture... wait... here it is.

Doesn't she look GORGEOUS! So on another note, today Meghann and I taught our first lesson in Gospel Doctrine!! Yay! Anyways, thanks to a good object lesson from none other than the queen of object lessons Sis. Furnell, things went very smoothly. We even think that more than 80% of the audience were paying attention! We were even congratulated on how well we teach together; that made us happy. Well, it is Sunday afternoon and what do married couples do in the afternoon.... time to take our naps! We love you all!
