If you knew where we have been. Where we come from. How much different our life was, you would understand how big Sunday, September 19 was for my family.

I always wanted to be baptized. I remember touring baptismals when I was very young. The pastor would walk me through everything I would have to do and I would get cold feet. I never really got it. I still did not think I got it, even at 34. But I realized it was simple. I believe in Jesus. I follow Jesus. My life has been changed by Jesus. Now it was time to tell everyone else. There. I realized I did not have to be perfect and no one was going to judge me.

Shane and I have been through our fair share of difficult times. But yesterday he stood right beside me as Brian and Beth baptized us. I never would have dreamed that would have EVER happened. It was almost bigger than our wedding day. Just different. We never talked about God or church when we were first married. It was something that was not a part of us. With all we endured we could have used a minute with the bible.

Here we are. Ready. Willing. Able.
