During the blessing, I tried very hard to listen carefully. This had been a dream of mine for a very long time: to be married to a worthy priesthood holder in the temple, to have children with him, and to teach them about how amazing the gospel is. I couldn't help but think about how this dream is coming true. I feel truly blessed. It was fast and testimony Sunday, so I decided to share my testimony since my parents were there. I had no idea what I wanted to say. I could have gone on and on about all the blessing I have in my life, but instead I decided to testify of the hope that the gospel gives us. That is something I love most about our church and its teachings. In every principle there is some since of hope and love and mercy. I also said how grateful I was for my parents for supporting me and teaching me what is right whether we share the same beliefs or not.
After Sacrament meeting, we went home and had lunch with my parents and a couple of friends. After that we went to Kyle's parents and spent most of the rest of the day with them. We were so exhausted from the weekend that all three of us climbed into bed and took a three hour nap.
I also just wanted to say thanks to Shayla, Christina, and the priesthood holders who stood in the blessing circle.

Kelly what a special day for all of you. I was so sad that I couldn't be a part of it. Leo is blessed to have such special parents. He has changed and grown so much just in the short time since I last saw him. Bless all of you during this time of learning and growing. We love you guys!
I'm so sad I couldn't be there to share your special day. He already seems so much bigger! What a cute baby he is! You guys are such awesome parents - keep up the good work!
He is so cute. I'm glad everything went well. I spent the weekend in Utah with Donna, watching one of my other nephews get baptized. Isn't the Church great!
Oh Kelly, I'm so happy for you all! I cried when I read your blog. So sorry we missed it. We really didn't want to share our flu bug. I'm sure you will replay this day in your head many times to come. Your little boy has all the hope, love and guidance that he will need. May you and your family always be showered with blessings of hope and joy!
