POO
On March 22nd 2015 miss Nola Rae received a name and a blessing by her father. It was a really lovely day. We were able to bless her surrounded by all our loved ones, in a beautiful chapel, right below the University of Utah. The dress she wore was a vintage one my grandma gave me to use, but we aren't sure on its owner. it might even have been my grandpa's... poor guy having to wear such a pretty dress. I fell in love with it right away, because of its unique look. She wore my old headband too. Thank goodness for a family that saves everything! One of my friends in my ward who blessed her little girl a few months later asked me if I had stressed about her having a blow out in her white dress.... I was a bit shocked that the thought hadn't even crossed my mind! Glad it didn't happen though that could have been.... fun.
This day feels like so long ago, and I have a hard time remembering all the details. But I do remember that my sweet little nola was so happy the entire time she was receiving her blessing. She stared up at Zach with the biggest grin on her face. He got a tiny bit choked up at the begining, which is a big deal for him, because he never cries, unless its from laugher... in that case it happens frequently! Anyways, after his emotional moment, he almost giggled because of the huge smile on our babies face. The whole circle of men gathered to bless her, were bouncing my tiny baby so high, grandpa Cary said he thought she would take flight!
I am grateful for a loving, sweet husband who was able to give our little girl such a tender blessing. He blessed her to be kind, and to love god, amongst other things. I know the spirit guided him and I was touched by his words. I sure lucked out in the husband department!
After the blessing we gathered at a nearby park for some food and spikeball in our sunday best .(I hope that grass stain came out of Kenny's pants...) It was such a special day, and I'm glad all our family and friends could join us in celebrating our dear Nolie.
