Owen's Blessing Day

Owen was given a name and a blessing today by Barry. He got fussy again this morning but he was perfect during the blessing. The blessing circle was huge so it turned out to be an oval instead. Both Barry and I bore our testimonies. After a week of debating whether I would or not, I'm so relieved that I did. It was nice to share the spiritual knowledge I've gained through waiting for Owen. It sure has been a spiritually full weekend.

Together Forever

We had Owen sealed to Barry and I today in the Idaho Falls Temple. It is such a wonderful feeling to know that he is ours forever. After the court hearing I didn't quite feel that Owen was completely ours yet. I know Barry felt the same way but now it feels so real that Owen is our son. We were so happy that so many people made it there and Owen was a very good boy despite being so fussy and tired earlier. It was simply one of the best days of my life.
