Roomie Roadtrip

This weekend me and four of my roommates caravanned from Idaho to Utah for our Church's semi annual General Conference. (Which if you feel like watching just click on the link below :)

We left Friday night and partied it up for three hours until we reached Kacee's parents house at 10:30. Actually, I'm not gonna lie, I think I slept most of the way, but when I was awake it was a party! :) 


Oh and before we left we stopped at this adorable place that I am absolutely in love with and got Frappe's (that were completely 100% caffeine free, just so y'all know :) It's called Cocoa Bean and I picked up a White Chocolate Raspberry Frappe
This is me and Vanessa and my delicious frappe! :) 

After crashing at Kacee's house, we woke up Saturday morning and watched the first session of General Conference over a plate of waffles and sausage. The afternoon session was awesome because we actually got tickets!!!! It was the first time conference experience for all 6 of us girls, so that was pretty awesome! 

There were a lot of Mormons, which I was expecting, but what I was not expecting were the non-mormon protesters standing outside the conference center, waving signs and yelling catchy little slogans at us. It kind of caught me off guard, but to be perfectly honest, I found it just a little bit amusing. I know that's probably not incredibly kind, I mean they were concerned for the welfare of our souls after all, but it was just... funny! On one street corner an older gentleman held a sign, calling Joseph Smith a liar and warning us against going into the conference center, and right next to him stood a young man holding a sign asking for tickets to get into the conference center. It was just a little ironic.

When we were almost inside the conference center, one guy called out to us girls saying:

"Hey! If you'd been born 175 years ago, you girls could have been the wives of Joseph Smith!!!"
To which my roommate Anise replied. "Could have? Dude, I would have been married to him!!!"

That's Anise for you! :) 

Other then that, conference was great! So spiritual and awesome and just plain AMAZING!!!!!! I love conference! After conference we went to Inn and Out and then came home and ate Kacee's Mom's homemade enchiladas. I think I almost went into a food induced coma!!!! :) 

Some of Kacee's guy friends came over for ice cream after dinner and we had a jam session! I'm so glad Anise thought to bring her guitar because we totally rocked it out! 

~Keep Smiling~ :)
