My family has several traditions with General Conference, and the one I miss most is "Girl's Night." My mom and sister and I used to all get together during the Priesthood session, get Chinese take-out, and watch chick-flicks. The other sessions, we would spend back and forth between my family and Dale's family. It was a good time to be together enjoying each others' company.
Here in Cali, things are different. We watch conference on the computer (hooray for live streaming!), and when my man goes to Priesthood session, I'm left home alone. I got Chinese food the first time (he had a men's only pot-luck), but it was so disappointing, I didn't do it again. (I haven't found any really awesome Chinese food out here yet.)
And now, it's upon us again. I miss you, Mom and Dad and sis and bro-on-a-mission, as well as my mom-in-law, dad-in-law, bros-in-law, and sis-in-law (etc.).
Some traditions will still be lived, though. My parents sent us M&M's and their "Conference Bingo" boards, so we can play during Conference tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tradition! I love it! I can see why you would miss that.
