We were truly amazed by how well the day went. Erin woke up at 6:30 in the morning with a fever of 102 degrees. We thought that might prevent Erin and us from going through with the ceremony. Never underestimate the power of God and a little Tylenol. Erin's fever broke and she made it through church and the entire ceremony without a problem. She didn't cry once! In fact, she seemed to enjoy being blessed with water and was very interested in her candle.
We were so overwhelmed by the outpouring of love that Erin and we received. Most of my immediate family was able to be there. In addition, Kurt's mom flew in from New Mexico on Friday to spend the weekend with us, which was also a nice early birthday treat for her. However, the biggest surprise was finding Kurt's dad waiting for us outside the church - especially since he had told us the day before he would not be coming. However, he flew in Sunday morning. I know it really meant a lot to Kurt to have both of his parents there. It also meant a lot to us to have close friends, neighbors, coworkers, and even part of our engaged sponsor family present to welcome Erin into the church.
We feel so blessed to have had so many love ones there to share in Erin's day. We hope that all of you will continue to be a very important part of our lives and Erin's, and play a role in helping Erin grow up to be the kind of good, mature, God-loving, adult we can only hope and pray that she will be.
