Yesterday we were able to have Nash's blessing in our home. It was such a great experience and there was such a great feeling in our home. We appreciated everyone who was able to come. Joey's whole family came, minus KC who is living in Oregon. My whole family was able to make it except for Tara's family who is also in Oregon and Cory who is serving his mission in California. We missed them! Bishop Bean attended and it was great to have him here. Joey administered such a special blessing. The spirit was so strong and it was very evident that every word was coming straight from Heavenly Father. He started the blessing by saying that everyone in the room loved Nash and would be there for him if ever he needed anything. He then said that Nash was sent here at this time for a special purpose. This is something that was repeated again at the end of the blessing- What a great opportunity Joey and I have to be his parents. He mentioned how Nash should look to his mom for guidance and example. He said that Luke and Harlee were so excited to have him in the family and that we were humbled to be his parents. He talked about building a strong relationship with his Savior and to look to Him and his Heavenly Father in any time of need. That they would be there for him. He also talked about striving to get to the temple to make special covenants and one day be married to his wife. It was such a beautiful and touching blessing. I was honored to be there to witness it. I am truly grateful for Joey's obedience and willingness to bless our children. This sacred experience is one I will never forget. After the blessing everyone stayed and we had a nice dinner. I bought a bunch of Papa Murphy's pizzas on Saturday which was a perfect idea. It was low maintenance just like our little guy. We love Nash so much and are truly blessed to have him in our family.
