Collin will be ours both legally and eternally. Being sealed is a tremendous blessing. A friend in WV joined the church because her family could be together forever.Since things have changed, we do not know what to do about having him blessed. You see, we are simple people. We get back from Cancun the Sunday before Thanksgiving, and we are going to be sealed the Friday after Thanksgiving, so I am trying to figure out the simplest way to do everything, but not feel so overwhelmed in one week. Any ideas or tips would be appreciated, since we are still very new to all of this. We cannot bless him at church on a Sunday because of work/Mexico/a nephew's baby blessing so we are befuddled. We will have to brainstorm and figure out what to do!!!
my friends blessed thier son at the changing house by our temple after they got sealed.
ReplyDeleteI am so VERY HAPPY for you both Emily. I have been waiting to hear of a final date and wow, November is right around the corner. I hope you have so much fun in Cancun as everyone needs a vacation, but try not to get too stressed the week before his sealing. I am a simple person as well and would tend toward the direction of keeping everything simple and very sweet. I can not wait to see pictures of the very special day. My dad was not a member of the church until I was 20 years old so I remember being sealed very vividly and what a WONDERFUL experience it is and I am so glad you get to have it with Collin.

How Wonderful!! The Neel's are super excited for you guys!! Since we have a lot of family spread out around the world, we have done many a baby blessing in my parent's home at a time that was convenient. It is always really special and intimate. My brother who just adopted a baby from China had her sealed in the Temple, and then we all reconvened at my parents house down the street and had her blessed. This was all on a Saturday. It's really nice because it's just those you want and invited and then you can visit and "show off" your little one after. We usually have lunch or something too.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, we are super happy for you guys!!
Are you still doing a dinner thing after the sealing in Nov? If you are just keep the blessing as part of that. Everyone will already be there, and you won't have to plan an additional event.
ReplyDeleteIf you aren't doing the dinner anymore, just bless him on a sunday at church when life has settled down. You won't have all your out-of-town family, but since they will be at the temple for the sealing it isn't as big of a deal.
The Vallens and food people. Blessing and food would be in order right after the sealing! :)
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! We are so happy and excited for you guys! :)
