The weekend of Conference, my mom and I took a day trip to Blackfoot to attend my grandparents' 70th wedding anniversary. It was mostly a celebration for neighbors and friends, since the family celebration would be the following weekend. I volunteered to be my mom's driver, as she had an expired license! The party was wonderful, with delicious food. It was so fun to see my grandparents' friends. They've lived in the same place their whole lives, and many of the friends who attended were people they have been friends with their whole lives. We also got to meet their ward members friends who we've heard lots of stories about and who have been so kind to my grandparents.
The drive home was especially eventful since I was driving an unfamiliar car (my mom's) and we were talking a lot.... and we ran out of gas! I noticed 2 minutes before it happened, and managed to get off an exit before the car truly died. Thank goodness for my mom's AAA! It took about 30 minutes for them to come, such a blessing since it was dark, rainy, and no gas stations on that exit!
Here's a sweet picture of both sets of my grandparents. My mom's parents, who were celebrating their wedding anniversary, are in the middle.
