Today was much better....we went to church, to the Bloomfield Pool for Emma's ball team's swim party, and then back home to accomplish a lot of things. The swim party was so much fun, what a great group of kids.
Before I head to bed, I need to tell you about July 5th. It's kind of a neat date....
17 years ago....July 5, 1992....I was baptized. I remember it so clearly in my head. I went forward at church camp, I-MO.....and decided to wait until I was at my home church with my family. My Uncle Everett, much more a brother, also got baptized the same day. I tried to get dressed quickly so I could watch him after I was finished...in hindsight, I wish I would have just wrapped a towel around myself and dripped right there before God and everybody. It was a great reassurance to know the exact date he had been baptized, 5 years later when he passed away.
12 years ago....July 5, 1997....Vance and I started dating. Once again, we met at I-MO (that place is awesome)! We went home and he ended another relationship and we left for a mission trip a few days later....at the end of the 2nd day, we were an "item."
I can't wait to see what the rest of July 5th's have in store for me!

I think it's awesome that you remember the date of your baptizim. I remember the event like it was yesterday but I don't remember the date. You ever think about where you'd be, what life would be like for you if there had been no I-MO? I think about stuff like that.
it sounds like july 5th is your special day:) i think it is great that you remember the date so well and what happened on the day! good thing all those bad things didn't happen to you on july 5th:)

you forgot to mention that you took your own daughter to honey creek, too!
Sounds like July 5th is a great day and worth celebrating each year! :)
