This past week we had our New Beginnings Program for Young Woman's. We had a heck of a time getting it scheduled as the weather was not working with us and we had to change the date literally 15 times!!!! The program was really great it was based off of
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk "Happily Ever After" 
We had a great turn out!
My friend Stacia (pictured above) was the master-mind of the evening and did an AWESOME job! She had each of us choose 2 fairy-tales and put together a centerpiece of that story...such a cute idea!
Stacia and my other friend Codi (pictured above) put together the refreshment table...yummy!
We have 4 new girls coming into Beehives this year. Each one of their dads took a moment to introduce their daughters. Then we gave the girls a frame that said "Princess (name) Daughter of a King" As the night was centered around helping the girls understand their worth as a daughter of God. The girl in the bottom left was hit by a car walking to the bus stop last Monday. It was Darin's first day on his Trauma rotation so he was the doctor that treated her. Her parents were very happy to have Darin as her doctor. I have to say when I heard about the incident and that Darin was treating her, my heart was in my stomach the whole day until I talked with Darin. I get so nervous for Darin...even though I know he is a GREAT doctor! he is really loving this rotation and learning so much. I just wish we got to see more of him.
Next we introduced the new girls in our ward. The 2 on the left are the Wills girls. They just moved here from Nevada. They are also Erica Winter's nieces. Erica was my neighbor and SUPER good friend in CA our 2nd year of medical school...small world! Missa is on the right. She was baptized this past September. I spend a lot of time with Missa as I am her ride to church on Sunday's and Wednesday activities. She moved to the US from Haiti after her family survived the earthquake. She is the only member of her family.
We had some ladies in the ward narrate for us and most of the girls had a part in the program. It turned out so awesome. I am so grateful for my calling in the YW's. I have learned so much from these girls as well as from the AMAZING women that I serve with!

Christina, I know I never comment, but I love following what your cute family is up to. Thanks for letting me stalk your blog. :) I LOVE this idea for New Beginnings, I think I might have to "borrow" it for next year.
