March 6th we had the privilege of blessing our handsome little Paul. He was so darling in his little white suite and tie. The whole day he was a happy little baby and enjoyed the attention of his family and friends. Russ did a wonderful job blessing him. There's a lot of good that is going to come from this little man, I can just feel it. I am so thankful to have him in our lives. Even at this age I can see a sweet, happy spirit about him.
After the blessing of Paul I got up to bare my testimony, and its funny how nervous I got and everything I had planned to say, went blank-who knows what I said... I'm sure I sounded like a total nerd, so to redeem myself I've decided to write down a little of what I was thinking at that moment. The greatest joys in life is family. I've always known that, but now that I have a little family of my own that has taken on a greater meaning for me. I am truly blessed to have a wonderful family. I don't thank God enough for the blessing in my life. I feel so blessed to have a companion whom I love so much and to be love back just the same. To have the companionship, friendship, and love, that some only dreams about. Russ and I are like peanut butter and jelly-just made for each other. It amazes me how well we get a long and how much fun we have together-Even still after 2 kids!! He does so much for me- I love him for that.
I truly have a testimony of this gospel, very rarely do I take the chance to bare it, I miss the mission days where you bore your testimony often-almost everyday. I'm so lucky to have the gospel in my life because I deeply feel that living by the gospel principles brings more happiness than otherwise living. I am so grateful to the many people who have literally given their lives and sacrificed more than I can imagine, just so I could know of it. I am grateful for Joseph Smith in the restoration of its fullness and for the many Prophets in our day who have guided us. Our dear sweet Pres. Monson is so wonderful and I know he's called of God, a Prophet, Seer, and Revelator, of our Heavenly Father- and I'm grateful for his guidance. Most of all, I am forever grateful to our Savior for the price he paid so that I, in my weakest of ways, can be forgiven of my many trespasses and sins. I am grateful for his example on earth for his teachings and love towards all men. I pray every day that I might live the way he lived, and be like he is. I love Him and my Heavenly Father very much. And this I testify in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
