BEST GOOD NEWS EVER!!!!

10/19/08

I have waited to hear these words for over 10 years now.

"Vicki, I've decided to get baptised"

Tonight I get to tell everyone I know that I have finally heard them!! I feel like shouting for joy, laughing so hard I cry, and then start crying, but wait I have done all of these things. All the boys were excited in their own ways. Lil O's mouth dropped open, Zachary screamed and tossed his shirt in the air, Parker smiled and acted like he knew all along, and Mason was just happy because everyone else was. They even started their own little song/chant "My dad is getting baptised" as they ran around the furniture and around the house. We are very very happy in our home today.

I am so happy for Oscar right now it is hard to put words to it. I have felt the spirit so strongly in our home and especially around Oscar for the last few weeks, I will never never never forget it. I can honestly say I have witnessed a Miracle, and it is sweet and I will cherish it always.

This Saturday October 25, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. Oscar will enter the waters of baptism and be confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. From there he will start his awesome journey learning more of his Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ who love him and never gave up on him.

There are so many friends and family that have helped Oscar get to this point of his journey, and all I can say is Thank You and you know who you are. I love each and everyone of you.
