A Name and a Blessing

Yesterday Asher was blessed and it was such a wonderful day.  The weather started out a little bit cold but it turned out to be sunny and beautiful.  Asher was an angel boy and was happy all day long.  Marcus gave Asher such a sweet blessing and I was so grateful for my little family.

It also made me think so much about how badly I wanted this little baby.  I remember while I was waiting to get pregnant how hard other baby blessings were for me.  I remember just wanting a baby of my own to bless.  And now it was so unreal that this was actually my baby that was being blessed.  I used to hold back tears as other babies were blessed, and today I held back tears of joy and gratitude.  So grateful to be this little guy's mama.

And I can't help but wonder who is out there waiting for their turn.  Their turn to have a little baby of their own.  I pray that they don't have to wait much longer.

We had all of our family there and so many good friends.  I was so grateful to have them all there to celebrate this special day with us.  We are lucky to have such wonderful support from all of those we love.

We had a yummy brunch of cinnamon and orange rolls, muffins, ham and so much delicious fruit.  Thank you to everyone who helped!

I love this baby boy so much and I love this gospel.  I am so grateful that Marcus holds the Priesthood and was able to give him such a wonderful blessing.  I feel so blessed and am very grateful to my Heavenly Father for all that I have been given.
