I have had such a nice time in Carlsbad with my family these past couple days. Today I went and picked fresh strawberries with some of my siblings and parents. We found strawberries that tasted and looked unreal! When we got home, Jane and I ate about five strawberries each and dipped them in sour cream and brown sugar. It seems as though all we have done here is eat simply delightful foods while on this vacation, like we usually do.

This morning when we went to watch the first session of conference, we had a hard time pulling it up on the internet and t.v. We missed about the first ten minutes because of these technical difficulties. This really made me realize how much I take conference for granted. When we are at home, all we have to do is turn on the radio, T.V. or computer and conference easily pops up. This morning my dad went to search the radio stations but found that no station was playing conference. Also, the T.V. channel wasn't working nor the computer. My family ended up watching the morning session on my dad's computer. We all crammed on the couch and could hardly hear over the dishwasher and disruptive little siblings.

Simple little pleasures have caught my attention recently and really made me appreciate the little things in life. I am so thankful for...
