My Beautiful Daughter







Gracie was Baptized to today as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She is such a sweet little girl. The day did not go smoothly, in fact the whole weekend was a disaster. Things started heading south Friday. I was so worried about the party not being just perfect that I thought about delaying it. Some people couldn't make it, other people chose not to make it. I was just so worried about it and I lost sight of what the whole day was a about. Gracie, and her choice to be Baptized. The only thing today that needed to go right today, was her making a choice to always remember Jesus Christ and what he did for her. And a promise to follow him and keep his commandments. It went beautifully, She and Wes did amazingly. That is all that really matters.....Not the cute table decorations, or the perfect spread of food or even the people that were there. All that needs to be remembered is that she was there with her Dad, and her Heavenly Father, at the right time and in the right place. Today the 1 good thing that happened out shined all of the rest and made it all worth it in the end. That is what counts. ~E
