This weekend was a busy one for my family.
On Thursday, Mr. Nielson and I flew to Utah, where I spoke at a corporate convention.
It was really nice, quick but very nice.
It was so fun to see Utah, feel fall in the air, and just be together alone.
We ordered room service and watched movies the whole trip.
After I spoke, we got on a plane and returned to the ranch.
We were at Costco in the Q before returning when Jane called me in tears.
"I think something is wrong with Angus's foot Mom.
He fell out of the car when we were
coming home from picking up the mail."
I have to admit, I freaked out.
Christian and I quickly finished up and zipped home.
At midnight I found myself in town at the veterinarian's office,
holding down Angus while he got x-rays.
It's confirmed it's broken, and he'll need surgery on Monday (today).
Poor Angus wobbled around all weekend, and we treated him like a king.
We carried him everywhere, hand-fed him, and gave him extra food.
Saturday and Sunday were dedicated to General Conference.
How amazing it was!
I am so excited to re-read and re-watch the conference.
Saturday morning, I made strawberry cream cheese French toast
and we ate together in the ranch kitchen.
We took a little walk on the ranch between the Sunday conference.
We talked about our favorite talks and
conference messages while walking on the ranch trails under the blue sky.
It was different this year; everything was different and not as
fun as in previous years, or maybe still fun, just different? I don't know what to think.
It was fine; we need to establish some good traditions for next April's
conference. We should have it figured out.
Right now, all I can think about is how I can take what I heard at conference
and apply it to every single aspect of my life.
And also, Angus. I think a lot about him too.
