I hate to skip around in my blogging-I want it all to be chronological. Yet, I am so far behind and don't want to forget how I feel. I also think I try not to be cheesy, but well, this post is dripping with cheese, you have been warned.
The title of this post is "JOY" for a reason. Well, several reasons:
1. Joy that my son chose to be baptized.
2. Joy from having family there to share it with me.
3. Joy that it went so smoothly and the tears weren't nearly as bad as anticipated.
4. Joy that my son chose to be baptized when it wasn't easy for him to make that choice and watching him learn how to make hard choices and teaching him how to really pray.
5. Joy that my husband has the priesthood to perform the ordinances of the gospel.
6. Joy that I have the gospel in my life.
7. Joy that through the gospel and the ordinances therein I can have an eternal family.
8. Joy that I know my Savior and that my son does too.
9. Joy that Jacob is my son.
10. Joy in watching my son become closer to being a man.
This day, May 1, 2010 was a day full of JOY. No other word can describe it.
So I'll leave it at that.

Yay! So happy for him and you! He's such a handsome little guy!
What a great post!! Yay for Jacob! I cannot believe that he is 8! It is just too crazy. I remember his 5th birthday party with the lightning mcqueen cake. That was 3 years ago! I always loved Jacob. He has such a big personality. Tell him congratulations, although he probably doesn't even remember who I am :)! You are a great mom, Mindy.
Lovely, lovely. It must have been a beautiful day - what a grown-up kid! We're very proud of Jacob (and you)!
I can't believe Jacob is old enough to get baptized.... especially considering his mom is only 25!
Man that kid is amazing! Glad you had a greaaaat day kiddo!
Yeah! I loved your post about JOY. What a handsome boy, and what a special day!
I bet it was awesome. I can't believe he was 8. Wasn't his baby shower just yesterday? Time flies. So happy for all of you!
Mindy!! I miss you!!
