Happy Baptism Day to my sweet Harper!! 

Harper and her lovely Godparents Nigel and Mandy

Today we baptized our 2nd baby girl.  It was a perfect day. Perfect to me.  I am still excited to have finally found a church that feels like a home to raise my family in.  I felt proud to invite the rest of our family and friends into our new church.  Its a comfy place to be. I have found some peace there. I hope that my girls also find the same peace.  God has been good to me.  Having Miss Harper Elizabeth baptized and welcomed with unconditional love into whole community of people is humbling. Jon and I have been looking since we were first married for a church that felt like a good fit for BOTH us, and that would be good for us to raise our children in.  That was almost ten years ago.  I love that I was raised with religion in my life, it gives you a foundation to grow upon, but I didn't feel peace when I went to my previous church.  I felt that something was missing.  I don't feel that anymore, and that is why today felt so perfect.  I feel so happy for Harper and for my little family of four.  We are still "newish" members of our church community, but i feel like its going to be a long relationship.  I am at peace, and i think ultimately that is what I was looking for.  Today I celebrate Harper, but I also celebrate this future for my family.  This future is going to be good.  xoxo
