Mikayla's Big Day...

I am WAY behind on posts but I had to get this in today because it is such a special day and one I want to remember and want to keep the feeling I feel right now forever...
Mikayla was baptized today. As her mother it has been an incredible journey to watch her make this choice and follow through with one of the biggest decisions of her life! She is beautiful. In every smile I can see how pleased she is with herself and as a parent, nothing brings me more joy than to see her happiness based on the truths she is living and feeling.
She finished reading the Book of Mormon this morning. She woke up as the sun did and finished reading the last two chapters and then brought her scriptures along with her book marker completely filled in with every chapter she had read. That is what I woke up to, her scriptures on my dresser with the book mark frosting on top! It was a marvelous way to start the day! I am so thankful for her pure goodness and for all that she teaches me. I am the luckiest mom in the world!!
