I officially joined the Rush family

well, sort of. After being a surrogate daughter for all of high school (Mrs. Rush sent me one of her couch cushions when I was homesick in college), my friend Kelly asked me to be Godmother to baby Rush Thomas. I am so happy and honored, and even being an Anabaptist, there are few services in the BCP I like more than baptism.

It was also a really great opportunity to spend time with Kelly and her family, which is always fun. We played Kubb (count on the Rushes to bring the Scandinavian...)


We watched Rush get sealed in the holy spirit and marked as Christ's own forever.


We ate snow cones.


And we hung out with some of my favorite people- old friends and brand new ones.
