One of Our Favorite Things

Tonight Devin and I did one of our favorite things together, we went to the adult session of Stake Conference. This meeting is always phenomenal. It is a time when you are just filled with the spirit. The speakers are always great and the messages are always exactly what you need. You also get to see good friends that you don't see as often as you wish you could. We are such nerds, we always stay and talk with people long after the meeting has ended. As we were driving home I told Devin thanks for taking me to stake conference tonight. I told him that I don't mind that he doesn't take me on big fancy romantic dates, because he takes me to the adult session of stake conference and that is WAY better!
I realized something tonight as we were listening to the speakers. 3 1/2 years ago Devin and I had just started dating and we went to our first adult session of stake conference together. During that meeting, sitting next to Devin, I had the impression that we needed to start reading scriptures together. I was surprised at the thought because we really had not been dating for that long, and for me you just don't start reading scriptures with anyone that you aren't really serious with. The whole meeting I kept feeling like that was something we needed to do. That night as we were talking about the meeting I got up the guts to tell Devin what I had felt. And now 3 1/2 years later we have read scriptures together every night (except for the few nights that we have been apart....we've even done some over the phone scripture readings). This has been such a strength to us. Yes, sometimes reading scriptures with me late at night is like reading scriptures with a zombie, but we have been consistent. I know this is one of the reasons why I love Devin more each day.
Yeah for reading scriptures every day with your best friend! Yeah for Stake Conference and drinking from the spiritual fire hose! I can't wait for more Stake Conference tomorrow.
The church is true!
