What a day!!!
Wow what a great sunday it has been.
This morning at 9:30am I was in Riley Polson's ward for the baby blessing of Miss Kenzie Raine Polson (daughter of Ross and Dawn Polson). It was so wonderful to be with Riley's kids and I got to hold baby Luke for 20 min and he didnt cry=) =) =) I asked Luke to tell me about Heavenly Father and he just stared at me =) It was nice to hold him (he is three months) and then be able to give him back to Lisa. I love kids, but i know the time is not right... its getting closer.. but not yet.
Anyways. Rick Polson (the grandpa) gave the blessing and it was so interesting to me the blessing he gave. He spoke of how much Kenzie is a fighter (she was 2 1/2 months early and she is still not totally healthy) and she was blessed to continue to be a fighter and that she will grow in the Gospel and be married in the Temple. And it was interesting to me that that is how the blessing turned out. I mean i know that God is no respecter of persons and that the Temple is the place to me married and everything. But how do you give a blessing to a child of a part member family when the member is inactive (Ross), eventhough Ross's parents and siblings are all active. I just dont know how i would feel if i was Dawn and was like.. you cant tell my baby whats going to happen to her. I mean its AWESOME that Dawn let Kenzie be blessed and afterward let Rick and Riley give Kenzie a blessing of health (which i didnt stay for). So anyways... church got over.. I had to walk by Nicki to get to see Kenzie... and Nicki just asked how i was and I said i was good and waiting to hear about Pharm School. She told me good luck. Then I walked over and gave Dawn a hug and chatted with her. She said that I should come over for dinner this week or next and I was really suprised that she invited me over. Then i went to look at Kenzie, who Rick (Grandpa) was holding and he gave me a sideways hug. Then I left. Rebecca asked if i was going over to Lee and Connie's later tonight and i said maybe.... but i realized as i got in my car and drove away that there is nothing at Lee and Connies for me anymore. Riley's kids are there... but they play and do whatever and im there... but not really there. So its easier to just see them all when i see them and thats it. And if i was to go to the Blads tonight it would be just like it was three months ago. We all sit, eat, play games, and talk about other random stuff. And they can all talk about Rhett without me there. I think that I am almost officially done with everything that was put forth to be done.
Then i went to my ward... and Maria May had her mission farewell. The spirit was so strong!! To hear about Maria growing up Catholic and how she gave up basically everything (including her family) to join the church it just made me cry. She is going to be such an incredible missionary.. and i will miss her so much. What a long ways she has come and that I have come in my love for her. It was hard to love her in High School. She didnt make life easy for me in some ways.. but i am glad she has found the truth and it has changed her life and mine.
