Phew......

So it's official, My name is Jennifer and I am a Mormon......................LOL! I think when I go and bare my first testimony to the church, I will start with that line! So Saturday turned out so much better than I had ever expected.

I got the best surprise Friday night, when we were having dinner and Sister Brownlee ( the sister I give all this baptism credit too) surprised us by showing up on our doorstep. She went home to Canada the first week in January and kept telling us that she was going to make it back for the baptism, but the closer it got to the date, the less she emailed us so I figured she wasn't able to make it. But she had it all planned out to surprise us, and it was the best surprise ever!!!

Lori was right about the spirit being so strong at the baptism, it was so strong it's almost hard to describe.
Everything went well, but ofcourse it wouldn't be a Casey/Jen get together if something funny didn't happen ( for example....Casey Scott Wilcox, for those of you who were at the wedding!). Casey was so nervous about the actual baptism and then the confirmation. He didn't bother with memorizing what he was supposed to say when he "dunked" me because there is a card in the font. So as we were walking down the stairs into the water, Casey got this panicked look on his face and started looking around, (even behind the mirror?) for this little card. Well it wasn't there, so then we had a few people trying to tell him what he was supposed to say. I felt so bad for him, but he pulled it off like a champ and only had to "dunk" me once!

We had a BBQ at the park by our house afterwords and it was nice just sitting and talking to everyone, there were no fights between anyone and everyone got a long very well.

All in all it will be a weekend I will never forget!

Thank you all for supporting me, I really appreciate it!!!

Super jealous! I saw the pics on Lori's blog and it looks like you all had so much fun!
I'm so happy for you guys. I truly am.
Casey, I'm so happy that you have gotten everything in the world you have ever wanted. And more.
No one deserves it more than you.
I love you, my friends.
