Vivint Imagine Dragons Concert

I work for an awesome company. Vivint threw a pretty epic year-end party last weekend, with a private concert by Imagine Dragons. My long-time BFF Kim used to be "friends" with Dan Reynolds (the lead singer) and so she used her connection to get us to the Meet and Greet before the concert. Look look.  
seeeeee.
I was literally on a "celebrity high" after meeting the band, when we spotted Jef with one "F" from the Bachelorette. Kim and I freaked out, chased him down like we were 12, and came up with some ridiculous line to get a picture out of the whole thing.  We sheepishly scuttled behind him for probably 30 seconds, and eventually both got pics wtih him--we decided we had to. And look how adorable our pics are :) Thanks for the moral support Kimberly--I would have never told him I was a "huge fan" without your encouragement!  
This was by far one of the best concerts I've ever been to. It rivaled Kings of Leon that I went to back in 2009, but I think this is now my #1! They were still incredibly appreciative of their fans--which I loved--and they put their whole hearts and souls into the show. I wish I could be a rock star.
I love Vivint.
It's events like these that make me realize how lucky I am to work for such a legit company!

Women's Conference

Twice a year, my church puts on what's called "Women's Conference." It honors an Women's organization of which I'm a part of, called Relief Society. During this conference, leaders of the organization speak to women worldwide, and help us out with womanly issues. I wish I could remember everything that was said, but I will just enlighten you with a few of my favorite take-aways.
  • As we seek to find ways to serve others, we come closer to God and can more fully feel His love for us.  
  • The Lord has a plan for each of our lives. Nothing that happens is a shock or surprise to Him. He is all-knowing and all-loving. He is eager to help us, to comfort us, and ease our pain as we rely on Him.
  • As we seek our Heavenly Father through fervent, sincere prayer and earnest, dedicated scripture study, our testimonies will become strong and deeply rooted. We will know of God’s love for us. We will one day be able to look at our difficult times, and realize that He was always there.
The best part was going with my Mom and sisters.
 We went to Blue Lemon for dinner and then walked around City Creek.
I love living near my family and being able to do things like this!!
