Missing in Action?

Have I been missing in Action or just working super hard on school, Young Women in Excellence, and everything else I seem to get myself into....Evan and Audrey have been so good and patient with me...tomorrow we are going to do lots of fun things to reward their good behavior!

Thanks to all my friends who have helped me out lately...honestly there are too many to even name...you all know who you are thank you soooo much!

Well, today was one of those days when everything seemed to happen at once. I had to take a midterm (thanks Brenna for watching my two kids and your two kids! you're the best!) and then tonight was Young Women in Excellence. Since i'm in charge I used the theme "the oscars". It turned out darling...we had the young men be the paparazzi, Michelle Taggart was a fantastic "Joan Rivers", and we had the girls come up to receive their "oscar" and talk about their projects. Overall it was a great night...including catering by Macaroni Grill...they have the best Pasta Milano! What a great night! I've attached pictures...
here is the front of the stage with the lights on...

Evan helping...he's testing the microphone...he really was a HUGE help today...

this is where the girls walked in...their "headshots" are hanging on the wall...

the girls walking in talking to our "joan rivers"....

the papparazzi...(the young men) did a fantastic job heckling...what a great bunch of guys!

the bishop giving us words of wisdom...he had some great things to say...you can see the girls posters hanging on the wall...

Michelle and I after a long night...she helped tons...it's nice to have friends help!

Prego Erin and me...isn't she cute prego!

I completely forgot to ask how this went when I saw you on Saturday. It looks like it was a success. What a fun theme for the night. So creative with Joan Rivers and the Paparazzi.
