Baptism

Last weekend Eric and I got baptized. Eric was inspired when he saw Eleanor get baptized in the Summer. I had been wanting to do it for years, but my propensity to avoid being on display had me dragging my feet. After Eric decided he was doing it, I was grateful for the opportunity to get baptized together.

It was much more emotional than I thought it would be, and it was so special Bonnie got to watch the whole thing. We also were fortunate my mom happened to be in town! Sadly we happened to sign up the weekend Katie and Chris were going to be in Boston but it was super special to have Eleanor and the rest of the kids see it. 

It was a beautiful morning and I'm so thankful Eric and I got to do it together and that we were able to share it with so much family. 

For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. -Romans 6:4
