Dear Friends and Family!

Last year when I was at Ballet Magnificat! lots of people wanted to stay in touch, but it was hard since I could only use the phone or computer a few minutes a day. As I hope to be going back this summer I have been thinking it would be a good idea to start a blog! Those who would like to, can know details as I'm preparing and while I'm there and, after I get back, hear the wonderful stories of God's working.

So it's about a weeks until the dinner. Again this year, Help Kaitlyn Get to Ballet Magnificat's Intensive is sponsoring a Valentine’s Couples dinner to be held at Fountain of Grace church. I've been planning and preparing and making lists of different couples who are coming and those who are helping. Also my mother has been talking to  my GREAT! Uncle about different menu possibilities. This week Mr. Doug has been experimenting with desserts. Friends and family have helped and are helping me get this together. Although sometimes it feels like this isn't going to work, we always can depend on a God who will work things out for Good. There are so many people who are helping me put things together. I am blessed to have every one of these people in my life.

So far these are the things that I have been able to get together with the help of others:

I have a trellis that my brother made for my sister's wedding that we will be using for couples to get their pictures together. We've also gotten roses for the trellis, I can't believe how many I found:) We've gotten lots of candles and ribbons and many other things. So I guess I will end this short:) though there's lots more happening.  Before I end this  I want to thank everyone who has helped and is helping. I am so very thankful. I want to thank God for giving us all different ideas and for making this dinner possible. I pray that everyone who comes will be blessed and walk away with something that God has shown them!

Thanks for reading!

Give thanks to the Lord our God and King His love endures forever!
