Allie's Blessing

Today Tony blessed Allie.  We had almost all of our family there to support us.  We were just missing Nate and his family and Wendy and her family. It was really nice seeing both sides of our family in sacrament with us today and then at our home.  We are super blessed to have such great family support.  Allie was blessed in the same dress as Megan that was made out of Tony's Nana's wedding dress.  Tony's mom, aunt, sister, nieces, and his daughters have all been blessed in that dress.  It was an honer to have Allie carry on the tradition.
Here are the highlights of what Tony said in the blessing:
  • Bless to grow and be strong
  • Be an inspiration to others
  • Strength and courage to share the gospel
  • Be a light to the world and an example to others
  • Blessed with an understanding of the gospel
  • Get an education
  • Serve a mission if you desire
  • Marry in the temple
It almost didn't happen today.  Tony filled out the papers and worked everything out a couple of weeks ago but then today the Bishop was without his counselors and his executive secretary and so he didn't have it on his paper.  So when the bishop started saying the sacrament hymn information Tony had to get up and stop the bishop.  It was super weird, but we had all our family there and Allie all ready, so we really wanted to do it then.  Tony did a great job and it was a nice day.  We love you dear Allie.
