"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Bradley's Ordination

BRADLEY'S ORDINATION
This was a new one for our family!  A day I hope I don't ever forget!  What a special event, to watch my son- the boy I carried for 39 weeks inside of me and gave birth to 12 years ago!- receive the Priesthood and become a Deacon.  SO COOL!  It was nice that the Bishop didn't rush us along, even though he probably should have since had had about a thousand setting aparts to do.  And it was nice that Bradley got to ask the questions he needed answers to and that he was able to have everyone's undivided attention at that moment.  I was grateful for quiet kids and supportive grandparents who were there.  What a neat experience.  I really hope Bradley writes about this in his journal.  It's really fun for me to think about the fact that we now have two Priesthood holders in our home!  So cool.  None of us knew that Nate was going to get to ordain him either- that was AWESOME!  What a great day!  I loved it!  10-9-16

and just for the record I totally had to slouch in this picture to have my arm under Bradley's... he's not quite taller than me yet!!  I just don't want this messing with history.  Look how handsome he is though :).  What a cute kid.
