PMBA at the University of Utah

Jordan started Masters school yesterday at the U and I must admit that I already miss him. He drove off last night to go to school and my heart broke. He will only be gone twice a week at night but it is hard to not have him at home. I need to remember that this is great for our family and that I would rather him be gone now than when Kaya is 3 or 4 or we have more kids. I'm grateful for his hard work and how he takes care of us!

Kaya's Blessing Day

Kaya was blessed today! It was so incredible to hear Jordan bless our little girl. This has been a day that I have been waiting for for years. The blessing was so heartfelt and loving. Kaya cried through most of it, but it was still neat.

Kaya was blessed that she will never been alone. She was reminded that she was loved very much. She was told that the day would come that she would choose to be baptized. I thought it was interesting that it focused on her choice. The blessing talked about her marrying in the temple and so many other beautiful things.

My mom made Kaya's blessing dress, out of my wedding dress. It means so much to me that Kaya wore a dress that her Grandma made. It was absolutely gorgeous and Kaya looked like a princess!

Another great thing about Kaya's blessing day was how many people were in the circle to bless her. He grandpas, great grandpas, and uncles all were able to stand in the circle with Jordan. It really was a great day!
