a sunday baptism || + lots and lots of pictures



 

 

Sunday we had a baptism. AT THE RIVER!! We DO have a baptismal pool in the church, but it's always much more fun going down to the river!! I was baptized in this same river nine years ago along with three other people!

Caleb, the little eight-year-old boy who was baptized on Sunday, is such a cutie! He was saved a few months ago and we've been planning to go down to the river for quite a while now so he could be baptized, but things kept coming up (like sickness for an example). So I was SOOOO HAPPY that we could FINALLY do it!!!!
It was a PERFECT day! Sunny and 80's!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

my 17th birthday || lots of pictures + a ride in the country

As you probably already know, I had a great 17th birthday!


Mama took me to the store with her on Tuesday and we went by goodwill together!!! :)
I got two adorable shirts for just $7.00!


Once we got home, we ate lunch, and then Kristen took me outside for a Birthday Photo Shoot (I'll do another post on that sometime) :)
After the photo shoot, I spent time with my family. We sat outside together. Kristen made us some homemade iced coffee (which is SOOO GOOD) and we drank that up while we enjoyed the nice weather.


It's been really hot here lately, but on Tuesday it was in the low 80's and very low humidity! It was absolutely gorgeous!



After dinner, we all went for a ride in the country (at my request) with the windows down!! It was lovely!
(Gideon, our bullmastiff, also came along and rode in the back! He loves going on rides! :D )



It was a wonderful ride!!! I am so blessed to live in the country!!!
It was a laid back sort of day spent with my family and I loved it! :)
