Sydney's Patriarchal Blessing

What a beautiful night it was to have Sydney receive her blessing. She had fasted, prayed and was prepared to receive it. I could immediately feel the spirit as we walked into the patriarch's home. Pres. Dana is a very sweet man and very in tune with the spirit. He got to know our family better and then got to know Sydney. I said the opening prayer and then he proceeded with her blessing. She was promised beautiful things but he talked especially about her heritage that she has come from and her obedience to Heavenly Father being a part of who she is. She was told that she will be married in the temple to someone who loves her and she will have children and they will be do temple work together. She will also do geneology and do good work outside her home but nothing will be as important as the work she will do in the home as a wife and mother. She will live a long life and people will be put in her path who will join the church because of her. I can't remember everything but I can't wait to read it. All I know is that the Lord loves my Sydney and he is proud of her and I am as well. She is such a good girl and though we have our challenges she is very obedient. I love that she chooses to do good and seek out the good things in life. We are so proud of her and her spirituality has brought out the best in our family and she is a wonderful example to us. I will write more about it when we can read it.

LIfe is busy, we moved into a new home. 11852 E Hunt Highway. It is our dream home. 5200sq ft 1.5 acres of land and everything we could possibly want. It's a great home for our family and we are so happy. We are hoping to rent our other home asap! I'm praying! THe kids are good just busy with school. Baseball and football just ended and Sydney is starting soccer. She made the JVB Hamilton team and she is co-captian with Briel Garner. I can't wait to see her games. Kyle received his bear in cub scouts last week and he had to put his face in whip cream to find his badge, he loved it! Zach had a great season of football 3 touchdowns and baseball was good too. I am very busy as the YW president and it keeps me on my toes but I love it and very much enjoy learning from and being with the girls. Chloe is happy and doing well. We are expecting Jessie, Pat and Jessie's kids today coming from Utah for thanksgiving. It will be fun to be together and enjoy each others' company.
