Getting baptized
After we thawed out from the ice storm, we were able to enjoy the rest of February. On the 10th, we drove to Lexington for the Florida vs. KY basketball game. We were a little bit outnumbered in the Rupp arena. There might have been 10 other Gator fans besides us. :)
On February 20, I turned 25!! I'm now officially a quarter of a century old. I hung out with some women from our church, and Andrew and I enjoyed a nice dinner out at Bonefish Grill.....one of my favorite restaurants. I spent the rest of the weekend re-caulking our bathtub and painting a table. I really know how to have a good time. :)
Our church was having a baptism service on the Sunday following my birthday. When I was 17, I wanted to be baptized and was sprinkled. But since we've moved to Louisville, I've just felt God working on my heart to be immersed. I wanted to experience that symbolic picture of being buried and raised with Christ. Our church meets at a Holiday Inn, and we were able to use their pool for this special service. It was such a neat experience and we had about 200 people in attendance that morning. As 10 of us were in the pool, it was really awesome to look around and be surrounded by our church body.
The weekend after my birthday, my parents came in town for a visit. They are always pretty handy for projects. My sweet dad installed a storm door for us, and it really helps keep the draft out of our living room. We also hung a new light fixture in our bathroom and added a frame to our giant mirror in our bathroom. We used some molding and painted it brown. It made a huge improvement in our bathroom!! We got to introduce them to lots of our friends in Louisville, and they got to experience playing "Rock Band" at our friend's house.
Andrew is really enjoying working at Chick-fil-a, and we both love eating there!!! He is staying busy with school and playing in the worship band at church. Greek is his most challenging class this semester. Fortunately, he is only taking 9 hours, but it's still a full load for him. I'm really enjoying my seminary wives classes that meet on Thursday nights. I'm learning a lot. And it has finally warmed up here in the 'ville. We enjoyed beautiful 70 degree weather yesterday. I sure hope it lasts!
