New Beginnings

The decorations at New Beginnings last night were so adorable.  They served a delicious dinner of soups, salad's, rolls and cheesecake's! 

The theme for both the young women and young men is: Stand ye in Holy Places and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come: for behold it cometh quickly saith the Lord.  D & C. 87:8

 They did an adorable program of the Young Women in a pageant. Each of them representing a value and from a place in Church History!

 At the end they asked Jolie and Anna the two girls that will be joining Young Women this year to come up on the stage.  They had a paper with some information and stories about each of them. This is what Jolie's said:Name__Jolie Lauren Fox___

Special Talents __Jolie is really good at cooking.  She has been an amazing babysitter to her younger siblings.  She has a gift of compassion. She will always go out of her way to make sure who ever is sad knows they have a friend. _

Parents favorite childhood memory____When Giselle was born it was in the middle of winter and hospitals were very afraid of germs.  So they wouldn't let any kids into the hospital where Giselle and I were.  Of course this was very hard for Jolie because she was SO excited for her new baby sister to be born.  Daddy brought her and her siblings up to the window outside to see her.  It was freezing but all I could see was Jolie's smiling face so happy to see her little sister.  When I came out to the waiting room by myself.  because I wasn't allowed to bring Giselle out with me. Jolie cried.  It brought tears to my eyes because she was so sad and also brought tears to my eyes because I knew how much she loved her little sister already and that they were meant to be the best of friends.  To this day those two have a special bond that I know was formed in heaven.

 At the end each of the girls received a crown and their own bouquet of roses.   It was fun to see all the young women and see who Jolie is going to be spending so much time with these next few years.  The leaders are so wonderful and amazing and I am so excited for her to be with them.

 I still have a hard time thinking she is old enough to be with the young women but there she is and she doesn't look too little does she?

 Jolie was sweet enough to let her Mother join in on the photo booth fun and be silly!

 These are all the Young Women leaders!!  They really are the best!!!

Brett and I are transitioning into a new beginning as well.  Thankfully we have children that are truly blessings from Heaven.  We have loved watching her grow from this adorable little red headed baby to this beautiful young lady!!! We love you so much Jolie!!
