I only got to watch the last 10 mins on byutv online because I didn't know it was happening until my sister called.

I was so excited to see this! Elder Uchtdorf is such a great choice! Hey, who did your blog template?

Carrie and Troy Keiser said...

Holly- I found it on Cutestblogs. It is listed on the side bar as cute blogs and its EASY! My brother has been saying since Pres. Hinckley passed on that he thought it would be Elder Uchtdorf, how cool that he was right?! :)
