So today is the 4Th and final day of Clint taking the discussions!! Next step, the interview and then the official and final step, Baptism!! It is going to be such a great day!! I am just glad that my family is being so supportive of this and helping us out as far as preparing to give the talks, perform the actual baptism, and do the prayers. I really want to be able to soak up that whole day, a day that I never saw coming although some in my family would not have been surprised if he ended up joining. After all during the second discussion, the missionaries invited Clint to Baptism and he accepted!! I know that the turn out is going to be AWESOME!! So with the missionaries coming over tonight, and this being the last discussion, I told Cadence that we would make them cookies. I am just glad that today is finally here so I don't have to listen to her whine and complain about making cookies any day that isn't today.

One of my sisters had suggested seeing if we could get our youngest blessed the same day that Clint was Baptised, but after thinking about and everything we have decided that we are going to hold off on the blessing either until the upcoming Fast Sunday, or one to follow. With Clint getting baptised and him being in the state that he's in with everything, it would just make it an even longer day, and he wants to be able to solely focus on this being an amazing day for himself.

On Monday we submitted the names of everyone that was going to be speaking at Clint's Baptism and everything. This is something like what the program for the night is going to look like...

Opening Prayer: Gma Pine
Opening Hymn: Because I Have Been Given much
Baptism Talk: Uncle Charlie
Baptism: Gpa Pine
Witnesses: Elder Hanks and Elder Thurman
Holy Ghost Talk: L. Mullen
Closing Hymn: (Missionaries are picking that one)
Closing Prayer: Mom

I am hoping that we are able to go shopping for clothes before his Baptism, which is in 3 days. I am so tired of my church wardrobe! I have a bunch of black, and that is not something that I really want to wear to my husbands Baptism. I am hoping to be able to get a jean skirt or something. Clint also decided that Tyler Dees is going to perform the confirmation in church on Sunday. Sunday is going to be a big day. Clint is getting confirmed a member in Sacrament Meeting, he is paying tithing for the first time in his life, and I am being set apart for my calling!! It's going to be a big day, but a really great one!!

I have been trying a lot harder here lately to get up with Clint in the mornings so that we can read scriptures and say our morning prayers together. Although we haven't had the time the past 2 mornings to read the scriptures, we always make up for it before bed, and we have yet to miss a morning or night of saying prayers as a couple. Our life has totally changed for the better in not even a week!! I just can't wait to see where we are in a year from now. Will we be taking the Temple classes? That's the plan for the both of us to strive for.

Although I have been up since 4:30am this morning, I am hoping that I can find it in me to get s few things done to the house today before the missionaries come over. It has to be done regardless, so I just have to see to it that it gets done! It bothers me the days that I don't get much sleep and then have a bunch of cleaning and things to get done during the day. By1pm, I am ready for a nap!!! It is sometimes so hard for me to push through being so tired and clean. Boo for that!

Today has been a really good day thus far! When Clint doesn't have time in the mornings to read the scriptures, I feel that I can't really go on with my day till I have read. I find that i read ahead 4-5 chapters, just to go back that night when we have the time to read, reading it over. That may sound like no fun, but for me it's a good thing! I have a hard enough time remembering what I read in the first place, so to go back in the same day and re-read it at night.
