We had a wonderful Sunday on January 3rd as Chris blessed Rylee. It was an amazing blessing. Both Ashley and Madison were blessed in Arizona at Christmas time after they were born, however we weren't able to go visit family this year, so we were able to share this experience with our ward. Chris' parents came from Arizona to participate in the blessing day. My parents would have been there, however my dad was recovering from a recent surgery and wasn't supposed to travel. It was great to spend a few days with my in-laws. My Aunt Miriam and Uncle Kimball also came to the blessing, as well as my sister Camille. It was great to have such support.
The next Sunday, January 10th, Chris was called to serve as second counselor in our ward bishopric. We received a call from the Stake President on Friday afternoon, met with him Friday night, and called our parents that same evening to let them know the news. Chris' dad wanted to ordain him a High Priest, so they booked flights as soon as they got off the phone with us Friday night and flew to Utah the next morning. We were able to spend Saturday and Sunday with them. My parents sent their love over the phone, as my dad was still unable to travel from his recent surgery. We are looking forward to Chris' opportunity to serve our ward, but I am going to have a big challenge ahead of me as I sit without Chris each Sunday with three little girls.
