We started going to church together as a family about a year ago, and at the time Jason and I we’re nervous about attending, but both of us felt a need for it as well as wanting it for our boys. So we thought ‘Ok we will visit this church. It’s close to home and it will be good for all of us.’ So off to church we went not knowing how much it was going to change our lives, our family, and us as a couple. After just a few services we started to realize what a difference it had made in both of us and felt it was something we not only loved, but really looked forward to every week, and we were thrilled to see how much Peyton and Jayden loved it as well.

As the year passed we started realizing how MUCH we really loved our church and all of the people there. We started to feel a bigger need for knowing and wanting to be closer to God…. and the boys have endless questions almost every day about Heaven and Jesus. Jason even went on his first mission trip this year! After seeing so many lives change at church, through testimony and baptism, Jason and I started talking about getting baptized together. It has been an amazing experience for all of us and it just kept growing!

Jason and I knew we wanted to be baptized before the year was over. We talked about it a lot but just weren’t sure WHEN we would do it, but it all came together once we found out my brother and sister-in-law were coming in town for Thanksgiving. We talked to one of our favorite pastors and finally started making plans to get baptized together! We told our family & friends and found out my cousin Callie was getting baptized as well!

I can not explain how excited I was for this day to get here! We arrived to church early so we could change in to our robes and take a few pictures. I was so relieved and thankful for the people who took control of the pictures and video for us. It was an AMAZING day!

A few pictures before we went to change. The boys saw us get baptized and from what I understand they were REALLY excited to see it!

Ready to go! Callie and I were SO nervous!

Callie got Baptized first. (Thank you Chrissy for taking pictures from your seat! and Thank you to the nice lady who took all of the behind the scenes pictures!)

We said a few words with Drew then the ‘dunking’ begins!

Then it was our turn!

you can’t see it but Jason and I were holding hands. It was really amazing to do this with him!

Jason’s turn!

An AMAZING day!

After church all of us had dinner together and celebrated. A great ending to a great day!
