Jaxons Blessing

WOW! What a day or actually weekend. We had so many friends and family attend the blessing and it was such a special day. My parents and little brother Nate and also our really good friends Hope and Tom came from Tooele and stayed the weekend. Friday night Logan and I met Hope and Tom in town and went to Pizza Hut with Ben & Lisa that was just really fun and relaxing. Saturday we stayed home all day and got all the food and dessert ready for Sunday. Everybody hung out here and just had fun and played the wii. I always get really stressed out when I do these type of things but like always everything went pretty smooth. I was going to stand up and share my testimony on such a special day, but I guess it wasn't meant to be cause Jaxon got hungry and I had to go feed him. Over the last year my testimony had grown more than I could have ever imagined. I and my family have had experiences in our lives that will forever change the way we live our daily lives. As you have read in earlier blogs my Aunt Joann passed away from cancer. For me personally I have had a hard time dealing with that because I was soooo... close to her. She wasn't just an aunt she was like a mom. She would do anything for me and my family. When she finished her last round of chemo she asked me if I thought she should go for more chemo. Out of nowhere I told her "What ever happens now is in the lords hands and we need to see what he has planned for you". When I said that I had an absolutely amazing feeling inside of me. But it is true, we come here to the gorgeous earth with our lives already planned out. I personally believe she went through so much cancer and pain because our heavenly father knew that she was a strong person and would fight with all she had, but he also knew that we would learn and grow from it. I learned to try your very best to treat each family member and friends like it would be their last day. Enjoy every day that you have with the ones you love. I wish so badly I could call her and tell her what Loren or Jaxon are now doing and to just ask "How are you?" But I know she is in a beautiful place and enjoying being with her husband, mother and father. I also knows she sees everything that is going on down here. I had a dream of her the other day and I know she was doing it to let me know she was okay. She looked more amazingly beautiful than I could ever explain. She was in her temple dress and had this amazing glow around her, I hold that memory in my heart every day! But when I told her that God has a plan for us, its made me think about a lot of other things. Some people that read this might get mad at me and thats just fine, cause we all have our own oppinions. I truely think that the whole shots causing autism isn't really true. I think something might set it off but it is already genetically in them. I think it is so that we can learn and grow from that as well. I have a cousin that is deaf. She had got sick as a child and became deaf and from what I believe that was in her life plan. She is an amazing person, mother, wife, sister, daughter, etc. and is a very strong person and its cause god as gave her that will and faith to keep going. I just want to let ALL my family and friends know, how much I love them and appreciate all they do. Here is a few pictures of Jaxon, there is more to come
