I don't think Casey and I could have wished for this day to go any better. There were about 60 of our closest friends and family gathered at the Frei hom. The love in the room was almost overwhelming. We had two musical duets. Brett Berry and Liisa Frei sang "I Am A Child Of God". There is something about hearing a young man with Down's sing that song...I could not stop crying. And then my cousin's husband and daughter, Ken & Maile Berg sang " ___". It was a tear jerker as well. After the traditional LDS blessing given by Casey's best friend, Joe Dallimore, we invited anyone else to say a prayer or a few words of blessing or just to share their thoughts. It was so wonderful. We had quite a few people say a little something. One of my most favorite things was how diverse our group was and yet there was no contention or animosity, only love for our beautiful Jenna. My brother, Scoot couldn't make it up for the blessing so he sent his thoughts via video...
I was also so happy that we chose to have the blessing at home so that we could open it up a little more. Casey also said a few words about Courtney that were so touching. I probably don't say enough how incredibly grateful for him. He is the kindest, most loving, generous person I know. Every day I am blessed to be married to him. And I could not be happier to finally have our little girl! Our family is starting to feel complete.
