Today, you guys are going to be flooded with beautiful pictures from our God daughter, Aniston's, blessing last weekend. Ally was my college roommate for the semester I went to Missouri State. I frequently tell people that I didn't go to MSU for the school, that ultimately, I was meant to go there to meet Ally. Seven years later, we have celebrated each other's engagements, been bridesmaids in each other's weddings, grieved each other's loss, and now Ally and Aaron have asked Ben and me to be a part of their lives and family. It's been a journey.
Last Sunday, Ben and I drove to Warsaw so that we could be present for AE's blessing at church. In the Baptist church, babies are blessed as infants, and then the child chooses at an older age to be baptized. This was such a neat day for us. Having decided to put off starting a family of our own for a while, having such precious babes in our life makes it a bit easier. PLUS, ISN'T SHE JUST THE CUTEST!? Look at her gripping Ben's thumb like that!!
After the blessing, Ally's mom took us out for a great lunch in Sedalia, MO [home of the MO state fair]. It was nice to just be able to sit and chat with everyone. Living hours apart, it had been a long time since seeing them in person.
Overall, this was a really special day to me. I'm looking forward to being a part of AE's life for years to come, including stealing her for a couple weeks every summer once she's big enough. :)
