First: Thanks to everyone who traveled so far to come and be with us. Its so awesome to have the support of family! We had a fantastic weekend with everyone. The twins were blessed after stake conference in the RS room. When we set up the blessing with the bishop there was date confusion. We didn't realize is was going to be stake conference so we let all of our fam know and made plans for Feb 1st, by the time we figured it all out it was too late to change the date. We were disappointed with the idea of not blessing them in sacrament meeting, but we both know now that it was for a reason. Our bishop (brand new last week) was inspired to offer both Ben and I a blessing after the twins were blessed. Until that moment I hadn't realized how much stress and anxiety I had been carrying with all that is going on with Emily. I am so grateful for the gospel and the spirit that was felt in that room. I am so grateful for the priesthood and for a bishop who is so in tune. What an amazing day. Thanks again to everyone who came and participated in the blessings. We love you all so much!!! Come back again SOON!
