Evening in Excellence

 This was a bittersweet evening. 

First time we were there without our sweet Teesh LaReesh. The evening was over-the-top, as usual. Our Young Women's Presidency is just full of extra milers. The decorations always match and coordinate. The video, recapping the years activities is amazing and puts me in tears every year. Love that my girls get to benefit from so much talent.

 Each girl brought a shoe that represented a shoe that you would wear as you stood in a holy place. Malia brought her slipper and said that one of her holy places is her bedroom where she reads her scriptures and says her prayers.

 Malia was asked to play the piano for a special musical number. Malia did great but was frustrated she made a few mistakes, A sweet kind Beehive reassured Malia that she did not even notice a mistake. Such a kind act of love shown to Malia.

 Sierra brought her sandals. She said she wears these to Seminary as her holy place. She talked about how her teacher, Bro. Adam Hock, has been an answer to her prayers this year. She said he has really helped her through some hard times. I love Seminary!

 Because Magera is the Laurel President, she conducted this fantastic meeting. I was one proud momma watching her carry herself with such grace.

 After the evening we were treated with gourmet desserts and refreshments. The cupcakes and individual sized quiche were so amazing. They looked great and were out of this world delish.

The evening was a success thanks to so many people who work so hard to make it happen!
