What are you doing for Easter? We have been lame and haven’t done anything really special, except I made Easter sugar cookies and decorated them. They were so cute! But we had to give most of them away so we wouldn’t scarf them all down.
Last weekend was General Conference, and it was our first with a baby. Needless to say, we didn’t hear much of what was said, but I’m glad I didn’t miss Jeffrey R. Holland’s talk about the Savior’s Atonement. It was the highlight of conference for me, and I found this video on YouTube that sums up the gist of his talk. It is just in time for Easter, when we contemplate Christ’s atonement and resurrection for us. I hope you enjoy it. I can’t wait to read the rest of the talk when it comes in the Ensign this month.
So tonight I am going out with my wife to the Pearl Awards. It should be quite an event. It is basically the LDS Grammy’s. It is the annual award ceremony for the Faith Centered Music Association.
I have to be honest, when my wife told me she had gotten tickets, I wasn’t too excited about going, but now that we are just a few hours from the show I am actually looking forward to it. You know it should be neat to rub elbows with the elite members of the LDS music scene. Who knows, maybe I can get an autograph from someone cool!
We don’t really know what to expect since apparently they are scaling it down this year. It is happening in one of the BYU ballrooms at the WILK therefore, not exactly black tie, but I am sure some people will get all gussied up for this thing. I hope there are some performances from the nominees, that would be cool.
Some of this years nominees are:
Steven Kapp Perry
Tyler Castleton
Mack Wilberg
Craig Jessop
Gladys Knight
Jenny Jordan Frogley
Julie de Azevedo
Peter Breinholt
With all of these stars it has to be an amazing night! Well, it is getting a little late so i should probably go get ready and while I do I probably should listen to some sweet church music and get familiar with the artists. I’ll write again tomorrow, hopefully with some photos of all the celebrities I get to meet.
