New Beginnings: A Personal Progress Pageant

This years new Beginnings night has been my favorite thus far. (I'm on year 3!) I made the sashes and these girls gave talks on their value. We had Brandon sing a made up song about Personal Progress to the tune of "Here she is Miss America". Then Emily who was the third runner up to Miss Canada in 2000 come and talked to the girls about how Personal Progress is the ultimate make over and that we need to spend as much time making ourselves beautiful on the inside as we spend on the outside. It was an awesome night. Truly amazing. These girls are amazing, my counselors are awesome! It definitely gave me the boost I needed to carry on and do this longer!
The whole group!

Geneva--Is that YoungSil Whipple in your YW?? I lost track of where they went since we knew then in Vacaville and were pretty good friends. Can you tell her hello from us and possibly give me her address? Looks like you have a fun YW group, and I really enjoy reading your blog. I can't believe how much you put into everything you do. I treasure my little photo book you made for me. I can tell you are loved wherever you go. :)
