The Big 300!

This is my 300th post... wow! I'm a big loser and am having trouble getting myself together this evening. I actually feel like I'm coming down with something - and it's weird. I felt fine until my Dad left at about 6 this evening... from there I've gone downhill very quickly.

The baptism went really well, but we're having a small technical difficulty trying to get the video off the camera - so give me a day or two to get my technical department (aka - John) to get the problem solved, and I promise that I'll post it for everyone as soon as I can. I will tell you all that it was an amazingly special day for me - being that my Dad has been working on getting me to be baptized for years now, and he was able to be here to see it on Father's Day... does it get much better than that? It was a perfect day, even despite my nerves - I hate being the center of attention!! Still it was great, and I was so thrilled that my Dad, John's parents, his sister, her fiancee, Brooklyn, and my church friends could be there with me. The only thing that would have made it more perfect would be if my sisters, their families, my Mom, and John's sister's other daughter could have been there as well. (I know they were there in spirit though!)

I've got lots of pictures of the two days at the lake, and the baptism as well - so expect some of that soon too. I'm cutting it short again today because I really don't feel well, and I want to take some Nyquil and head off to bed. This tends to happen when my body wears out from doing too much too quickly... which I would have thought that after losing 70 pounds - I'd be able to weather a little more than I could before... but I guess for the most part - I was going strong all week last week, and then again through this weekend. So I'm going to take it easy and try to ward off a cold/sinus infection.

I will do my best to get caught up on life, emails, posts, and health tomorrow... I miss everyone, and I appreciate your patience while my life has been spinning out of control over the last few days!! We'll be returning to our regularly scheduled posting soon!!
