sooooo, after arriving in philadelphia at 6am, we met up with anthony's mom and headed straight over to our lady of hope to meet father efren. fr. efren is one of my mother-in-law's closest priest friends, and so the reason we flew all the way to pennsylvania to meet him is because today he baptized me into the church. so as of today, i am officially catholic!!! yeeeee! the baptism was super private, but it was oh so special. in fact, i cried pretty much the entire time! haha. but you probably already guessed that by seeing my red face in the picture. afterward, anthony told me that i acted no different than a baby being baptized. crybaby or what! but yeah, i was just so overwhelmed with joy. i wish my family could've been there, but i know you were all with me in spirit.
