Kiptin's Blessing Day...

February 7, 2010...

What an amazing spiritual day. Kiptin was blessed by his daddy and it was such a great blessing, we made sure to record it this time so i could have it to write down in his book for him to always have and to always remember the things his dad blessed him with. After his blessing when testimony meeting begun kiptins grandpa haslem stood and bore his testimony and he said "during the blessing i felt impressed to open an eye and peek at kiptin while his dad was blessing him, he had an amazing glow about him and was just staring up at his dad and also looking around as if he knew what was going on and was still in that heavenly place where he just came from."
He truly has such an amazing grandpa who is always in touch with his Father in Heaven, we always know we can get great advice from grandpa haslem.

During the week i knew i really wanted to stand and bare my testimony, my heart was pounding since the second we walked through the church doors, i had planned it all out during the week and that day to make sure i said everything i wanted to...well testimony meeting begun and i didn't want to be the first one up so i waited and kept repeating the things i wanted to say...next thing i know nick stands up and walks to the pulpit, i got a lot more nervous after he bore his so i sat there in my seat even longer, i kept looking at the time and telling my self "just go, your running out of time" they give you until 2:10 for testimonies and i finally made myself stand at 2:00 and once up there i had forgot EVERYTHING i was going to say and what order i was going to say it in. I knew i would forever regret not getting up there since i felt the spirit so strong the whole week to bare my testimony....I'm so glad all my family was there when i stood as well...It was big for me and nick cause we have not stood and bore our testimony once since we have been married...i know that's a LONG TIME, and i really wanted to when kaylin was born but i REALLY hate to stand in front of people and talk so my fears have always gotten the best of me but this time i was going to get the best of my fears and stand, even at one point i remember saying never mind i cant do this i really cant, but Im so happy i just did it cause i know it would have haunted me for life.

We had a little lunch at our house with our family and friends who really are like family to us so i consider them family too, it was a good lunch provided by our parents and grandparents SO YUMMY...kiptin had been crying so much that week that we thought for sure he would cray the whole time during his blessing and after but to our great surprise he was the most calm and quiet he had been all week, seriously not a peep out of him the whole day until night time and even that wasn't bad.

I was such a beautiful day and so peaceful and awesome to have most all our love ones with us to share in the beautiful day, thank you to everyone!
