Ashlyn was lucky enough to be baptized ON her birthday, March 29, 2014. It was a cloudy day but it never rained and the temperature was just right. We gathered at our Stake Center for the baptism around noon. She was the only person being baptized that day from our ward, so we had the entire program to ourselves, including all of the prayers and talks! Grandpa Talley gave a short talk on baptism in the chapel before we moved to the font area. Corbin baptized Ashlyn without any mishaps or re-do's :). I gave a talk about the Holy Ghost after we dried Ashy off and changed into her white dress. Then Daddy performed the confirmation accompanied by family members and friends. My favorite part was at the end of my talk when I was telling Ashlyn about how you feel when you have the Holy Ghost with you and how important it is to have, she got teary-eyed and I could just tell she was feeling the spirit :). It was a perfect day for our beautiful little girl.
