ej's blessing


last sunday we blessed ej while we were at my parents ward. it was such a fun day & went by WAY to fast! we had so many friends and some family that drove far to be here and celebrate the day with us.... and we appreciated it very much. it really means a lot to have people in our lives that will make those sacrifices for us... especially our little ej. the blessing was great... the food was great... WE LOVED spending the day with everyone!

That is so fun you were able to bless her while you were at home. I too miss being in Utah near family. However I think we are staying here this summer internships are hard to come by!
