Scarlett's Blessing Day

Little Scarlett Jocelyn was blessed by her dad on Feb. 7. I have looked forward to this day for a long, long time. Let me explain. When going through baby names in my head for the past year or so I would always imagine what it would sound like during her blessing... " We give this child a name and a blessing. The name she shall be known as is..." I would test out the name, if sounded good or not. When doing this with the name Scarlett it always sounded the best, that is why I chose that name ( Nick loved it to, of course). Scarlett Strobelt flowed so well ( I did not initially want a middle name but Nicked really like Jocelyn). So, to finally hear Nick give her a name and blessing was special moment. Of course I bawled, how could you not with her being such a sweet girl and Nick being the wonderful father he is. Nick gave her a very special blessing that I hope she comes to understand and appreciate. He blessed her to feel the spirit and listen to it's promptings, to understand her righteous lineage, to have her heritage give her strength, to be an righteous example to her future siblings, and to be a good daughter to her mother and help her as she grows ( my favorite part:). The day went so well with lunch at my parents house and a ton of pictures. I am so glad that my grandma and grandpa Woodbury and aunt Ginger could drive down. It meant so much to have them there. I am blessed to have this Gospel as part of my life, to know Scarlett is ours forever, and to have a righteous husband!
