Big Day for my Dear Husband!

John and I had have a very similar upbringing in church and have grown up with those values that our parents worked hard to instill in us. That is part of what makes our relationship such a strong and happy marriage. We have the basis of Christianity as the backbone of our relationship with each other and with our children. We have been going to church together as a family with our children for a while now. We placed membership at Waterview (the church I grew up at and the church we were married in) last January. We have found a bible class that we enjoy and have learned a lot and made some great friends. We always leave church discussing what was preached and taught that morning. Carter even talks about God and what he learned. It is very exciting to be raising my family in this church environment.

John and I had talked several times over the past few months about him getting baptized. It is a very personal decision that noone else can make for you. I have known he wanted to do and I couldn't have been happier than the day he decided he was going to do it. Robert and Vickie came over a couple of weeks ago and Robert and John spoke and decided to do it within the next couple weeks. John choose tonight, August 27, 2009. We had most of our family here - Bill & Beckie (John's parents), Miles & Mary (my dad and step-mom), Grandad, Brenda (my mom) and Uncle Robert & Aunt Vickie and my cousin Brittany. And of course Preston and Carter. Robert performed the baptizm.

I am just so proud of John. I konw this will help build us up as a stronger family and lead an even better example for our boys that we are raising into men. They will look up to John for the rest of their lives and will always know that their father is a strong Christian man.

John, I love you more than words and so excited to walk this path together. I am so happy to have such a strong husband that will lead our family in the right direction for years to come. You are the best husband, father, and friend anyone could ask for! I love you!!
