Someone loves me

Right now laying in bed sick the only thing I can think about is how grateful I am.

Usually our sunday routine is the same... Get up for church, fight each other over the mirror to do our hair and brush our teeth (with similar tactics we saw on the utah and byu games last night), get church clothes on and go to church for the 3 hour block. Today wasnt much different until we were sitting in church.
All of the sudden, nausia hit and I ran out of the chapel. My body started going into panic and all I could feel was the pain of my whole body clenching. I was freezing while others were hot and couldn't make myself go back into the chapel. Terror overcame me as I thought about how this might affect (or effect?) my little baby.
Long story short, we went to my grandparents and I went straight to a warm bed. Now here we are an hour and a half later and I'm still in that same position.

My sweet husband was trying to keep me warm when finally my parents came home. Immediately as I saw my dad I asked him and Jared for the greatest gift anyone could receive. I asked for the one thing I know could give me relief at that moment as long as I was strong enough to believe it would. I asked for a priesthood blessing.

All I really wanted to say is that 10 minutes after that blessing I feel a million times better. My body has stopped clenching, the shaking has stopped and I feel an undescribable feeling of gratitude.

I'm grateful for my wonderful husband and dad for being worthy of giving me such a blessing. I'm grateful for everything in my life that led me to have a strong faith in the church and everything about it. Most of all I'm thankful for my Heavenly Father who gave the power of acting in his name on this earth. I'm thankful He loves me and has let me know that many, many times. 

Now moms making her amazing enchiladas and I get to enjoy them and the company of my family while my dad is home :)
