My Elder

Just over a week ago my hubbywas ordained an elder and received the melchezedek priesthood. It's such a crazy wonderful feeling. If I'm sick, or sad, or anything bad...he can make it all better with a blessing. He can protect and watch over our little family.
I know he felt bad that my dad gave me a blessing while I was in labor with Chancellor instead of him. But now he can do it! And it just makes me smile and cry and be super happy inside. It's just such a comfort to have the priesthood in my life. And that's one step closer to being able to go to the temple and be sealed to my family! I am so looking forward to that day.

This is one of my favorite primary songs. It's what I always wanted and hoped for my family to be. I sing it to Chancellor every day...
I see my mother kneeling with our family each day.
I hear the words she whispers as she bows her head to pray.
Her plea to the father quiets all my fears.
And I am thankful love is spoken here.
Mine is a home where every hour
is blessed by the strength of priesthood power.
With father and mother leading the way,
teaching me how to trust and obey.
And the things they teach are crystal clear,
for love is spoken here.
