new beginnings

sunday night was our new beginnings night at
dianella for the young women

awesome night... i am so grateful to the girls for helping me out, and making sure the night ran smoothly. extra special shout-outs to leigh, mel and anouck for their beautiful presentations. we discussed the values and their meanings, personal progress, preparing to serve a mission and sharing activities and the gospel with friends, as well as our mutual theme for this year
BE STRONG - then... snacks! mmm lots of cake and muffins, only the best, "healthiest" treats for our girls :)

all in all was a great night had by all with only
three teeny hiccups...
(which hopefully no one noticed - fat chance!!)
1. none of our amazingly talented presidency can play the piano so i had the hymns on cd - ready to go, only all the cd players in the chapel had conveniently been relocated and could not be found... eep! thankyou to sis o'neil for stepping in and saving the day!
2. i left the programs at home!!!! after spending all that time making them and making sure they were perfect i forgot them... eep! thankyou jacob for being quick with the photocopier!
3. all my girls were running late! maybe next time i should tell them a 1/2 hour earlier than i want them grrrrrrr - i guess they were running on 'mst' (mormon standard time) haha

nothings perfect - but this was as close as could be...
lot of work though - glad it's only once a year!

i love my girls and can't wait to watch them go places!
