Baby Blessing in Grantsville

I drove out to Grantsville, Utah, to attend the baby blessing of my new cousin Nicholas.

I thought sacrament meeting started at 11:30am when in fact it started at 12:30pm. I was early so I got the chance to sit in on Sunday school.

Five minutes before sacrament meeting started, Uncle Eddie approached me and asked if I would like to be in the circle that blesses Nicholas. I must have given him a confused face because I thought he knew that I don't have the priesthood or am Mormon or have a boyfriend of 3 years (which is considered a sin and would make me unworthy to use the priesthood if I had it).

It was so weird that he asked me, but at the same time, I felt honored that he asked me. It makes me wonder if he knows (and my family knows) that Brian and I are boyfriends. I always thought they did. Whenever Brian isn't with me at family events, most people ask where he is. Doesn't that mean that they know? If they thought he was a "best friend", they surely wouldn't ask that question.

After the service, everyone went to Julia's to eat lunch. I totally pigged out on rolls, brownies, potatoes, and other food that was readily available. I don't think I've eaten like that since I've gotten back from Mexico.

Nicholas!

I learned that one of my cousins is getting a divorce. They were only married for about 2 years and she's 3 months younger than I am. I think it's funny that Brian and I have dated than many of my married friends. At my party on Friday, there was a married couple there and I asked how long they had been married. When they told me a year and a half, I smiled to myself as I thought where Brian and I were at that time. It's so weird to think that people have dated and married in the time Brian and I have been together.

And speaking of my cousin's divorce, people shouldn't get married when they are young because more often than not, it won't work out. I hope my children won't ever think they are one of the lucky ones that will make it because too many people think they are that special.

On the way home, I noticed the beautiful scenery that is Utah and realized how lucky I am to live here.
